ServeRAID IPSMON Program (Using)
ServeRAID IPSMON Program (Using)
When you start this monitoring program, it immediately begins polling all ServeRAID adapters
and controllers for specific conditions. If a condition being monitored is found, this program
logs a message to the monitor, to a file, or to both the monitor and a file.
The IPSMON program uses command-line parameters to determine where to log the messages.
If you need help, you can type the IPSMON -? command for a list of valid parameters.
If you start this program without any command-line parameters, the IPSMON program will log
the messages to the IPSMON.LOG file, and the messages will not appear on the monitor.
The valid parameters for IPSMON are:
- -f:filename Use the -f parameter to specify the name of the file in
which to record messages. The default file name is IPSMON.LOG.
- -s Use the -s parameter to display messages on the standard output
(usually the monitor).
- -? Use the -? parameter to obtain a current list of valid parameters.
After you start the IPSMON program, the program will continuously poll the ServeRAID adapters
and controllers until you take one of the following actions:
- If you are using Windows NT or OS/2, press Ctrl+C.
- If you are using NetWare, type: unload ipsmon at the system console.
- If you are using OpenServer or UnixWare, press the Del key to cancel the program.
During operation, the program will log various messages.
Each message will contain an alert code and a location specifier.
- The alert code begins with the message type and number.
For example, INF, WRN, or CRT, followed by the message number.
- After the alert code comes the location specifier:
A specifies the adapter or controller number
SID specifies the SCSI ID (if required)
C specifies the channel number (if required)
For example, a message of CRTxxx:A2C3SID04 signifies that a Critical condition
(CRTxxx) was found on Adapter 2 (A2), Channel 3 (C3), SCSI ID 4 (SID04).
The IPSMON program can log the following messages, based on the required condition.
