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

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
