v
Hard: The SCSI controller detected an unexpected event. The
controller is the most likely cause.
v
Misc: The ServeRAID controller detected an event that was most
likely caused by the device.
The device event log also provides Predictive Failure Analysis
(PFA) alerts, which indicate that the device has signaled the
ServeRAID controller that it might fail in the near future.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend getevent controller options

Supported operating systems: DOS
Command: ipssend selftest controller options
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
options is the designated self-test:
– AD for the ServeRAID controller self-test
– PD channel sid for the device self-test
Note: channel represents the drive channel (1–4), and sid is
the SCSI ID for the device (0–15).
startdely Use the startdely function to set the number of drives in a group to
start up simultaneously and to set the delay in seconds between
the startup of these groups of drives.
Supported operating systems: DOS
Command: ipssend startdely controller options
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
options is one of the following:
– ? displays the concurrent drive startup count and the delay
time.
– A number (1–16) that specifies the new concurrent drive
startup count.
– A number (1–16) that specifies the new concurrent drive
