6 IBM RAID Subsystem Diagnostic
Select this option to run the ServeRAID Adapter self test. Low-level
formatting of drives is provided as well as a drive media test.
7 Init/View/Synchronize Config
This option lets you initialize the configuration of the adapter back to the
factory defaults. The ServeRAID Adapter stores critical configuration
information in a number of locations to ensure the data is not lost:
•
NVRAM on the adapter
•
EEPROM on the adapter
•
On each online (ONL) or rebuilt (RBL) drive
•
On diskette (upon request)
This option lets you view each of these stored configurations, and when a
discrepancy exists, you can select which one to use as a basis for
synchronization.
The RAID adapter also maintains a list of all changes to its RAID
configuration. A power-on change list, wrong SCSI ID list, and an
unidentified drive list are updated when devices are added or moved.
Changes to the devices′ state also affect these list. This option allows the
user to view all of this information.
8 Display/Change Adapter Params
Select Display/Change Adapter Params to display the adapter′s status or to
write a new adapter configuration Host ID. The adapter′s SCSI channel ID
and speed may also be changed.
2.5.2.4 Mini-Configuration Utility
The mini-configuration program is a quick way to display the adapter settings
and to perform a limited set of configuration functions without using the
configuration utility on diskette.
Upon booting the server with the ServeRAID controller installed, you will see:
