selftest
The selftest function is used to direct a controller or a device to perform its self-test.
Supported operating systems: DOS
Command:
ipssend selftest controller options
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
options is the designated self-test:
– AD for the ServeRAID controller self-test
– PD channel sid for the device self-test
startdely
Use the startdely function to set the number of drives in a group to start up
simultaneously and to set the delay in seconds between the startup of these groups of
drives.
Supported operating systems: DOS
Command:
ipssend startdely controller options
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
options is one of the following:
– ? displays the concurrent drive startup count and the delay time.
– A number (1–16) that specifies the new concurrent drive startup count
– A number (1–16) that specifies the new concurrent drive startup count and a
RAID Configuration commands
The IPSSEND RAID configuration commands include the following:
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, OS/2, NetWare, Linux, OpenServer,
UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend drivever controller channel sid
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
channel is the channel number for the device (1, 2, or 3)
sid is the SCSI ID for the device (0–15)
getconfig
Use the getconfig function to display the ServeRAID controller configuration information.
This includes information about the firmware version; initiator ID and rebuild rate;
logical-drive status, RAID level, and size; and physical device type, SCSI ID, and PFA
error.

number (3–15) that specifies the startup delay time, in seconds.
