E.5.6 Last Status Information
All ICP Controllers temporarily store the status information from all hard disks which are
connected. This information can be very useful when searching for possible causes of disk
failures or interferences. The last status information consists of a hexadecimal, 8 digit
number and can be displayed via the ICPCON or can be saved in a SAVE INFORMATION
ASCII file. The information is temporarily available in the ICP Controller's RAM. Therefore,
it is important to check this information before switching off and before carrying out a Re-
set if a disk failure has occurred, or if interference was present. The last status information
is divided into Controller-specific and SCSI-specific messages. A detailed description can
be found in the files LASTSTAT.PDF (Adobe Acrobat format) or LASTSTAT.TXT (ASCII for-
mat) on the ICP vortex Website (http://www.icp-vortex.com).
E.5.7 Adding Additional Capacity After An Online Capacity Expansion
The additional capacity resulting from an online capacity expansion of an existing Array
Drive is introduced to the system as a new Host Drive. In order to be able to make use of
the new capacity without having to down the server, type "
scan for new devices " on the server
console to recognize the new capacity. Use Install to build new partitions and volumes.
E.6 Notes on ARCserve
Please make sure that you always have the latest version of your ARCserve software.
The back-up program ARCserve can be used in connection with the ICP Controller. The
communication between the tape device (for example DAT, DLT) and the ICP Controller
takes place through the ASPI interface. For this purpose, the ICP ASPI Manager
ASPITRAN.DSK is needed. When loading the regular ICP NetWare driver (for example
GDTRP311.DSK), the ASPI Manager is automatically loaded, too. During the installation of
ARCserve, choose
Adaptec ASPI Manager
as interface.
