IPSSEND and IPSMON Programs

IPSSEND and IPSMON are advanced command-line programs that you can use to manage the ServeRAID adapters and controllers. These utility programs are provided on the IBM ServeRAID Command Line Programs Diskette .
This ServeRAID diskette is available from the following address on the World Wide Web:

See 'IBM ServeRAID Configuration CD and Diskettes' for the instructions needed to access the IBM support page.

You can use the IPSSEND program to view the configuration of a ServeRAID adapter or controller, rebuild a defunct drive, initialize logical drives, synchronize logical drives, and perform other functions.

You can use the IPSMON program to monitor a ServeRAID adapter or controller for defunct drives, predictive failure analysis (PFA) warnings, rebuild operations, synchronizations, and logical-drive migrations.
This program can log a message to the monitor, to a file, or to both the monitor and a file whenever activities occur.

•  IBM OS/2 Warp Server and OS/2 LAN Server
•  Novell NetWare 3.12 and 4.1X
