Testing the RAID Subsystem

You can use the RAID Subsystem Diagnostic program to test the ServeRAID controller and the devices connected to the controller.

To test the RAID subsystem:

1.  Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see 'Starting the ServeRAID Configuration Program').
2.  Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu,  then, press Enter.
3.  Select IBM RAID Subsystem Diagnostic from the  next menu, then, press Enter.
4.  Select the diagnostic test that you want to run, then,  press Enter.

    Descriptions of the diagnostic tests available are as  follows:

   •  Run Adapter Self-tests tests the ServeRAID  controller. Restart the server after the self-test completes.
   •  SCSI Device Self-test runs diagnostic tests on  the SCSI devices attached to the ServeRAID controller.
   •  Drive Media Test verifies that all sectors on the  hard disk drive are accessible. The drive must be in the RDY or HSP state.
   •  Format Drive performs a low-level format on a  hard disk drive. For more information, see 'Formatting Drives'.
