Starting DAAD
To start DAAD:
1.
Insert the DAAD diskette into drive A.
2.
Reboot the system - OR - if you are at the DOS prompt, enter the following:
A:DAAD
NOTE
: To generate a DAAD report without starting the interactive portion of the utility, enter the
following at the DOS prompt:
DAAD
filename
where
filename
is the name of the file or report.
A dialog box displays, indicating the version of DAAD installed. Press the
Enter
(or ‘
C
’)
key to
continue, or press the
Esc
(or ‘
E
’) key to exit without continuing.
3.
If you continue, a Please Wait panel displays, indicating that DAAD is identifying the
system parameters.
DAAD gathers all the information it can from all of the array controllers in the system.
The time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of your system.
A second Please Wait panel may display to indicate that the utility is identifying the ROM
version of an array controller in the system.
CAUTION:
Do not cycle the power; the utility must perform low-level operations
that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert to a previous level of
firmware if the firmware was soft-upgraded.
When the information gathering process is complete, the main DAAD screen displays.
