CERTIFY | Use the CERTIFY command to verify the media of a hard disk drive. |
---|---|
If the program finds a media error, it reassigns the sectors. | |
A summary of reassignments and PFA errors appears upon completion | |
of the verification. | |
Supported operating system: DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND CERTIFY Controller Channel SID | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Channel with the channel number for the device (1, 2, or 3) | |
° SID with the SCSI ID for the device (0 to 15) | |
ERASEEVENT | Use the ERASEEVENT command to clear all logged entries in the designated event log. |
See GETEVENT help for information about the contents of the Device Event Log and the | |
Adapter Soft and Hard Event Logs. | |
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, O/S2, Netware, | |
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND ERASEEVENT Controller Options | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Options with one of the following: | |
- DEVICE for the Device Event Log | |
- SOFT for the ServeRAID adapter or controller Soft Event Log | |
- HARD for the ServeRAID adapter or controller Hard Event Log | |
FMSTATUS | Use the FMSTATUS command to display the progress of a format operation currently |
processing. | |
Supported operating system: DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND FMSTATUS Controller Channel SID | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Channel with the channel number for the device (1, 2, or 3) | |
° SID with the SCSI ID for the device (0 to 15) | |
FORMAT | Use the FORMAT command to perform a low-level format of a hard disk drive. |
Attention When you issue this command, all data | |
on the drive will be lost. | |
Supported operating system: DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND FORMAT Controller Channel SID | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Channel with the channel number for the device (1, 2, or 3) | |
° SID with the SCSI ID for the device (0 to 15) | |
GETEVENT | Use the GETEVENT command to display information about various unexpected events. |
IBM uses the Soft and Hard Event Logs for development and debugging purposes only. | |
The Device Event Log contains event counters for each attached physical device. | |
These counters include: | |
° Parity: An unexpected event while transferring data on the SCSI bus. | |
This usually indicates a problem with the SCSI cable, connectors, or terminators. | |
° Soft: A SCSI device detected a check condition event. | |
° Hard: The SCSI controller detected an unexpected event. | |
The controller is the most likely cause. | |
° Misc: The ServeRAID adapter or controller detected an event that was | |
most likely caused by the device. | |
The Device Event Log also provides predictive failure analysis (PFA) alerts, which | |
indicate that the device has signaled the ServeRAID adapter or controller that it might | |
fail in the near future. | |
Supported Operating Systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, | |
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND GETEVENT Controller Options | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Options with one of the following: | |
DEVICE for Device Event Log, SOFT for the ServeRAID adapter or | |
controller Soft Event Log, or HARD for the ServeRAID adapter or | |
controller Hard Event Log. | |
SELFTEST | The SELFTEST command is used to direct an adapter or a device to perform its self-test. |
Supported operating systems: DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND SELFTEST Controller Options | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Options with AD for the ServeRAID adapter or controller self-test or PD | |
Channel SID for the Device self-test. | |
NOTE: Channel represents the drive channel and SID represents the | |
SCSI ID for the device. | |
STARTDELY | Use the STARTDELY command to set the number of drives in a group to start up |
simultaneously and to set the delay in seconds between the startup of these groups | |
of drives. | |
Supported operating systems: DOS | |
Command: | |
IPSSEND STARTDELY Controller Options | |
Replace: | |
° Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8) | |
° Options with a question mark (?) to display concurrent drive | |
startup count: Drive Count (1 to 16) and Delay Time (3 to 15 seconds). |
