| 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). |
