RAID Configuration functions

The IPSSEND RAID configuration functions include the following:

devinfo

Use the

devinfo

function to retrieve information (such as size and

state) about a specific device.

Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,

NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:

ipssend devinfo

controller channel sid

where:

•

controller

is the ServeRAID controller number (1

–

12)

•

channel

is the channel number for the device (1, 2, 3, or 4)

•

sid

is the SCSI ID for the device (0

–

15)

drivever

Use the

drivever

function to display the vendor ID, microcode

version, and serial number of a SCSI device. The IPSSEND program

retrieves this information directly from the device.

Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,

NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:

ipssend drivever

controller channel sid

where:

•

controller

is the ServeRAID controller number (1

–

12)

•

channel

is the channel number for the device (1, 2, 3, or 4)

•

sid

is the SCSI ID for the device (0

–

15)

getconfig

Use the

getconfig

function to display the ServeRAID controller

configuration information. This includes information about the

firmware version; initiator ID and rebuild rate; logical-drive status,

RAID level, and size; and physical device type, SCSI ID, and PFA

error.

Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,

NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:

ipssend getconfig

controller options

where:

•

controller

is the ServeRAID controller number (1

–

12)

•

options

is one of the following:

—

AD for the controller information

—

LD for the logical drive information

—

PD for the physical device information

—

AL for all information. This is the default option.

stripesize

Attention:

You must change the stripe-unit size before you store data

in the logical drives. After you store data in the logical drives, you

cannot change the stripe-unit size without destroying data in the

logical drives.

Using the IPSMON command-line program (NetWare

only)

The IPSMON command-line program provides a quick way to monitor ServeRAID

controllers for specific conditions.

The IPSMON program is available for Novell

NetWare only.
