RAID Fault Management
RAIDBUILD Utility Overview
The RAIDBUILD (RAIDBLD) utility, available for all GAM Server
supported operating system platforms, offers more user control over the
following RAID fault management activities:
• Scanning for failed hot spare drives and/or inactive online physical
devices, and defining the interval between scans
• Changing the path and filename of the file which will hold all
RAIDBLD message log information
• Setting the device name of a console which will display all RAIDBLD
message log information with an audible tone as each message is
displayed.
• Performing an “automatic rebuild,” which starts a drive rebuild process
as soon as a failed drive is replaced
• Performing background “consistency checks,” specifying the start
time, interval between consistency checks, and whether or not to fix
errors on-the-fly.
RAIDBLD Command Line
The RAIDBLD utility file is installed during normal GAM Server
installation under all supported operating systems. During installation of
GAM Server, there is an instruction to modify the GAMEVENT and
GAMEVLOG command lines in the system startup file to specify the IP
addresses of client systems and the path and name of the message log file.
Within this same startup file, the RAIDBLD command line (disabled by
default) must be enabled if you wish to achieve any RAID fault
management.
