Descriptions of the optional command-line parameters are
as follows:
Command Description
-? The -? command displays the help for the
valid parameters.
-p:number The -p: number command specifies the
port number on which the server will
check for client connections.
The port number is a parameter used in
TCP/IP to distinguish between different
services on a single server. The default
for the ServeRAID utilities is port number
1087. You can change the port number
on the command line if another service on
the system is using 1087.
-d The -d command disables logging of
messages to the display.
-f The -f command specifies to log
messages to the default file,
IPSADM.LOG
-f:filename The -f: filename command specifies the
name of a file in which to log messages.
Messages can be logged to the screen or
to a text file on the system. The default
setting logs messages to the standard
output (usually the display), but you can
disable this by using the -d parameter.
The -f parameter enables logging
messages to a file. Messages consist of
startup information, connecting and
disconnecting clients, and error
messages.
-s:filename The -s:
filename command specifies the
name of the file that contains security
information. For more information about
server security, see “Server security file.”
Server security file:
Security information is
maintained in an optional text file on the server system.
The file stores unencrypted user names and unencrypted
passwords; therefore, the file must be kept in a secure
directory.
When user names and passwords are entered on the
Administration and Monitoring utility program (the client),
they are encrypted for delivery to the server. The server
decrypts the user names and passwords to verify
authorized access to the ServeRAID controller. If the
verification is successful, the ServeRAID controller accepts
commands from the client. If no security file is present in
the default directory or the directory specified by the -s
