DRIVE ARRAY ADVANCED
DIAGNOSTICS (DAAD)
Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD) is a DOS-based tool designed to run on all Compaq
products that contain a Smart SCSI Array Controller using Fast-SCSI-2 Drives. The error
messages and codes listed include all codes generated by Compaq products. Your system will
generate only those codes that are applicable to your configuration and options. The two main
functions of DAAD are to collect all possible information about the array controllers in the system
and to offer a list of all detected problems.
NOTE: Refer to the Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics User Guide for
complete details and procedures about this diagnostic tool.
DAAD works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem
exists. This data can then be saved to a file and, for severe situations, this file can be sent to
Compaq for analysis. In most cases, DAAD will provide enough information to initiate problem
resolution immediately.
NOTE: DAAD does not write to the drives or destroy data. It does not change
or remove configuration information.
Starting DAAD
To start DAAD:
1. Insert the DAAD diskette into drive A and reboot the system. If you are at the DOS prompt,
enter the following:
A:DAAD
2. A dialog box displays indicating the version of DAAD installed. Press the Enter key to
continue.
To exit without continuing, press the Esc key.
