Status Information; The Stat And Task Items; The Func Item - Adaptec AAR-2020SA Reference Manual

Status Information

When invoked from the MS-DOS prompt or the Windows Start
button, the CLI displays status information in the title bar of a DOS
command prompt window as it executes an asynchronous
command. On NetWare, the status information appears in a
different window. On UNIX systems, the CLI displays this status
information at the bottom of the CLI window.
The following example shows the status information for the array
create mirror command:
Stat:OK!Task:101,Func:MCR Ctr:0,State:DNE 100.0%
The following sections describe each item that the CLI displays in
the title bar.

The Stat and Task Items

The Stat item displays the status of the currently running task.
Typically, the item displays the value OK! to indicate the task is
executing correctly. This is the value that appears in the example.
The Task item displays the ID number associated with a specific
task. The controller assigns each task a unique ID number. The task
ID that appears in the example is 101.

The Func Item

The Func item displays the type of task running on the controller.
