Hardware Maintenance Manual: Netfinity 7600 – Type 8665 Models 1RY, 2RY

 

 

To run the IPSMON program:   

1.

From the console, type:   

load ipsmon

2.

Press Enter.

When you start IPSMON, it immediately begins polling all ServeRAID controllers for 
specific conditions.  If a condition being monitored is found, this program logs a 
message to the screen, to a file, or to both the screen and a file.  

Note:

IPSMON continuously polls the ServeRAID controllers until you type 

unload 

ipsmon

 at the system console.

Supported operating systems: NetWare

Command: ipsmon options

where:   

•

options is one of the following optional parameters:   

— -F:filename to specify the name of the file in which to record messages. The 

default file name is IPSMON.LOG.

— -S to display messages on the standard output (usually the monitor)
— -? to obtain a current list of valid parameters

Note:

If you start this program without any command-line parameters, the 
IPSMON program will log the messages to the IPSMON.LOG file, and the 
messages will not appear on the screen.

During operation, IPSMON logs various messages. Each message contains an alert 
code and a location specifier.   

•

The alert code begins with the message type and number; for example, INF, 
WRN, or CRT (followed by the message number).

•

The location specifier comes after the alert code:   

A

 followed by the controller number

SID

 followed by the SCSI ID (if required)

C

 followed by the channel number (if required)

For example, a message of 

CRTxxx:A2C3SID04

 signifies that a Critical condition 

(CRTxxx) was found on Controller 2 (A2), Channel 3 (C3), SCSI ID 4 (SID04).

The IPSMON program can log the following messages, based on the required 
condition.

Information Messages:
  <Date and Time>  INF000:A1C-SID-- no errors detected
