where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
drive indicates the number of logical drives:
– DRIVE is a single logical drive
– GROUP is a Merge Group
v
drivenum specifies the scope item:
– If DRIVE, specifies the logical drive number (1–8)
– If GROUP, specifies the Merge Group number
Error-recovery functions
The IPSSEND error-recovery functions include the following:
getstatus Use the getstatus function to display the current logical-drive status
for the most recent rebuild, synchronization, or logical-drive
migration. The status includes such information as the remaining
size of the logical drive, the percentage completed for the function
in process, and information about the most recently completed
logical-drive function.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend getstatus controller
where controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12).
rebuild Use the rebuild function to rebuild a designated disk drive. This
function is valid for disk arrays that contain one or more logical
drives that are in the critical state. Progress is indicated during the
rebuild operation, but you can also use the getstatus function to
obtain progress information about the rebuild.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend rebuild controller dch dsid nch nsid
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
dch is the channel number for the defunct drive (1–4)
v
dsid is the SCSI ID for the defunct drive (0–15)
v
nch is the channel number for the new drive (1–4)
v
nsid is the SCSI ID for the new drive (0–15)
setstate Use the setstate function to change the state of a physical device
from its current state to a new state.
Attention: You must be very careful when you use this function.
For example, you might lose data if you reset a defunct device to
online without first performing a rebuild operation.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend setstate controller channel sid nstate
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
channel is the channel number for the drive (1–4)
v
sid is the SCSI ID for the drive (0–15)
