where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
logicaldrive indicates that you are creating a logical drive
v
options is one of the following:
– NEWARRAY indicates that you are creating a new array and
logical drive
– arrayID is the Array ID (A–H) of an existing array
v
size is the size (MB) of the logical drive. The minimum size is the
number of physical drives in the array. The maximum size is the
available space in the array. Specifying MAX creates the
maximum size for the array.
v
raidlevel is the raid level for the logical drive (0, 1, 1E, 5, 5E)
v
channel is the channel number for the device (1– 4)
v
sid is the SCSI ID for the device (0–15)
v
noprompt is an optional parameter that overrides the user
prompt.
devinfo Use the devinfo function to retrieve information (such as size and
state) about a specific device.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend devinfo controller channel sid
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
channel is the channel number for the device (1– 4)
v
sid is the SCSI ID for the device (0–15)
drivever Use the drivever function to display the vendor ID, microcode
version, and serial number of a SCSI device. The IPSSEND
program retrieves this information directly from the device.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,

Command: ipssend drivever controller channel sid
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
channel is the channel number for the device (1– 4)
v
sid is the SCSI ID for the device (0–15)
getconfig Use the getconfig function to display the ServeRAID controller
configuration information. This information includes, but is not
limited to, the following: the firmware version, initiator ID and rebuild
rate, logical-drive status, RAID level, and size, physical device type,
SCSI ID, and PFA error.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2,
NetWare, Linux, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command: ipssend getconfig controller options
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
options is one of the following:
– AD for the controller information
– LD for the logical drive information
– PD for the physical device information
– AL for all information. This is the default option.
