Using IBM ServeRAID 135
initsync Use the initsync function to initialize and synchronize a logical drive at the
same time. This command works only on RAID level-1 and level-5 logical
drives. The command will erase all data on the entire logical drive.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend initsync controller drivenum [noprompt]
where:
• controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
• drivenum is the logical drive number (1–8)
• noprompt is an optional parameter that overrides the user prompt
synch Use the synch function to synchronize the parity information on redundant
logical drives. If the parity information is inconsistent, the IPSSEND program
will repair it automatically.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend synch controller drive drivenum
where:
• controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
• scope indicates the number of logical drives:
— DRIVE is a single logical drive
—GROUP is a Merge Group
• scopeID 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, 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 command 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 command to obtain progress information about the
rebuild.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux,
OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS
