ServeRAID controller
The ServeRAID controller actions verify that the Non-Volatile Random Access
Memory (NVRAM) found on the controller is operating properly, the actions check
the status of the physical drives, and can list controller information.
Prerequisites for performing actions on the ServeRAID controller
For the drive self-test, at least one hard disk drive must be attached to the
ServeRAID controller.
Actions
Use the following actions to diagnose the ServeRAID controller:
- Verify Communication with NVRAM
Verifies that the memory contained in the ServeRAID controller can be written
to and read from. This indicates whether the memory is working correctly.
- Determine Status of Drives in Array
Runs the SCSI standard drive self-test command for each drive that supports
the SCSI self-test. Use this test to verify the following information:
- Vendor identification
- Predictive Failure Analysis (R) alerts
- Location of drives
- State of drives
- View IBM ServeRAID Controller Status Information
Checks the following information:
- BIOS and firmware levels
- PCI slot number
- Number of attached physical drives
- Number of SCSI channels controlled
- Status of the controller
Results
The Results field displays the results of the action and provides detailed
information for resolving the problem. You might need to use the documentation
that comes with your server or ServeRAID controller for details about correcting
a failed device.
