ServeRAID Server Roll-Out Commands

ServeRAID Server Roll-Out Commands

The IPSSEND server roll-out commands include the following:

BACKUP	Use the BACKUP command to save a ServeRAID adapter or controller
	configuration to a diskette or to a hard disk drive. The ServeRAID
	adapter or controller configuration must be valid.
	Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, DOS,
	OpenServer, and UnixWare.
	Command:
	IPSSEND BACKUP Controller Filename Oparm
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° Filename  with the path and file name where the configuration
	is to be written
	° Oparm  with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt
COPYLD	Use the COPYLD command to copy a source logical drive to a target
	logical drive. The size of the target logical drive must be greater
	than or equal to the size of the source logical drive.
	Supported operating system: DOS
	Command:
	IPSSEND COPYLD Controller Source Target Oparm
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° Source  with the source logical drive number
	° Target  with the target logical drive number
	° Oparm  with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT,
	to override the user prompt
RESTORE	Use the RESTORE command to load a configuration from a file stored on a
	diskette or a hard disk drive. The configuration must be a valid configuration
	file from the BACKUP option on the IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Utility Program Diskette
	or IPSSEND. This operation overwrites the existing configuration information stored for
	the ServeRAID adapter or controller.
	Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
	OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
	Command:
	IPSSEND RESTORE Controller Filename Oparm
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° Filename  with the path and file name where the configuration
	is to be written
	° Oparm  with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT,
	to override the user prompt
INIT	Use the INIT command to initialize the first 0.5 MB of a logical drive.
	This process will erase the partition tables on the drive, and all data
	on the logical drive will be lost.
	Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
	OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
	Command:
	IPSSEND INIT Controller DriveNum Oparm
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° DriveNum  with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
	° Oparm  with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT,
	to override the user prompt
INITSYNC	Use the INITSYNC command to initialize and synchronize a logical drive
	at the same time.
	This command works only on RAID level-1 and level-5 logical drives.
	The command will erase the entire logical drive, and all data on the
	logical drive will be lost.
	Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
	OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
	Command:
	IPSSEND INITSYNC Controller DriveNum Oparm
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° DriveNum  with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
	° Oparm  with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT,
	to override the user prompt
SYNCH	Use the SYNCH command to synchronize the parity information on
	redundant logical drives.
	If the parity information is inconsistent, the IPSSEND program will
	repair it automatically.
	Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare,
	OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
	Command:
	IPSSEND SYNCH Controller Scope DriveNum
	Replace:
	° Controller  with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
	° Scope  with Drive for a single logical drive
	° DriveNum  with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
