Server Roll-Out Commands

Server Roll-Out Commands

The IPSSEND server roll-out commands include the following:

BACKUP Use the BACKUP command to save a ServeRAID adapter or controller configuration to a diskette or to a hard disk drive. The ServeRAID adapter or controller configuration must be valid.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, DOS, OpenServer, and UnixWare.

Command:  IPSSEND BACKUP Controller Filename Oparm

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  Filename with the path and file name where the configuration is to be written
•  Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt

COPYLD Use the COPYLD command to copy a source logical drive to a target logical drive.
The size of the target logical drive must be greater than or equal to the size of the source logical drive.
Supported operating system: DOS

Command:  IPSSEND COPYLD Controller Source Target Oparm

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  Source with the source logical drive number
•  Target with the target logical drive number
•  Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt

RESTORE Use the RESTORE command to load a configuration from a file stored on a diskette or a hard disk drive.
The configuration must be a valid configuration file from the BACKUP option on the IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Utility Program Diskette  or IPSSEND.
This operation overwrites the existing configuration information stored for the ServeRAID adapter or controller.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:  IPSSEND RESTORE Controller Filename Oparm

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  Filename with the path and file name where the configuration is to be written
•  Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt

INIT Use the INIT command to initialize the first 0.5 MB of a logical drive.
This process will erase the partition tables on the drive, and all data on the logical drive will be lost.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:  IPSSEND INIT Controller DriveNum Oparm

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  DriveNum with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
•  Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt

INITSYNC Use the INITSYNC command 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 the entire logical drive, and all data on the logical drive will be lost.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:  IPSSEND INITSYNC Controller DriveNum Oparm

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  DriveNum with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
•  Oparm with the optional parameter, NOPROMPT, to override the user prompt

SYNCH Use the SYNCH command 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, OpenServer, UnixWare, and DOS

Command:  IPSSEND SYNCH Controller Scope DriveNum

Replace: 

•  Controller with the ServeRAID controller number (1 to 8)
•  Scope with Drive for a single logical drive
•  DriveNum with the logical drive number (0 to 7)
