options is one of the following optional parameters:
– -F:filename to specify the name of the file in which to record messages. The default file name is
IPSMON.LOG.
– -S to display messages on the standard output (usually the monitor)
– -? to obtain a current list of valid parameters
Note: If you start this program without any command-line parameters, the IPSMON program will log
the messages to the IPSMON.LOG file, and the messages will not appear on the screen.
After you start the IPSMON program, the program will continuously poll the ServeRAID controllers until
you take one of the following actions:
If you are using Windows NT or OS/2, press Ctrl+C.
If you are using NetWare, type unload ipsmon at the system console.
If you are using OpenServer or UnixWare, press the Del key to cancel the program.
During operation, the program will log various messages. Each message will contain an alert code and a
location specifier.
The alert code begins with the message type and number; for example, INF, WRN, or CRT (followed
by the message number).
The location specifier comes after the alert code:
A followed by the controller number
SID followed by the SCSI ID (if required)
C followed by the channel number (if required)
For example, a message of CRTxxx:A2C3SID 4 signifies that a Critical condition (CRTxxx) was found on
Controller 2 (A2), Channel 3 (C3), SCSI ID 4 (SID04).
The IPSMON program can log the following messages, based on the required condition.
