Tru64 - RAS utility program (IBMrasutil) Interactive Mode The interactive mode for the RAS utility program can be invoked from the command line by using the IBMrasutil command. The program prompts you to enter a device special file name. You must open a device before you can issue any RAS utility subcommands. Command-Line Mode The command-line mode for the RAS utility program (IBMrasutil) provides the same basic RAS utility commands as the interactive mode. Invoke the IBMrasutil command from the Tru64 command line or from within a shell script. If you enter the IBMrasutil command without any arguments, the interactive mode is invoked. The syntax for the command-line mode of the RAS utility program is: IBMrasutil -f Device -Option Filename Note: 1. Device is the name of the device special file (for example, /dev/ntape/tape7) 2. Filename for input or output operations 3. If only the -f option is issued, the program queries and displays the Model Name, Serial Number and the Firmware level of the device. 4. If the -f option is not issued, the interactive mode is invoked. Command-Line Options -D filename Read device dump information and output it into a file specified by the filename. For example: IBMrasutil -f /dev/ntape/tape7 -D DriveDump.log -M filename Load the microcode from the specified file to the device. For example: IBMrasutil -f /dev/ntape/tape7 -M 2360.bin 426 IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
