Installing the IPSSEND and IPSMON command-line programs

IPSSEND and IPSMON are advanced command-line programs that you can use to manage your
ServeRAID controllers. These utility programs are provided on the IBM ServeRAID Command Line
Programs Diskette and the IBM ServeRAID Support CD.
You can use the IPSSEND program to view the configuration of a ServeRAID controller, initialize logical
drives, synchronize logical drives, and perform other functions.
You can use the IPSMON program to monitor a ServeRAID controller for defunct drives, Predictive Failure
Analysis (PFA) warnings, rebuild operations, FlashCopy operations, synchronizations, and logical-drive
migrations. This program can log a message to the monitor, to a file, or to both the monitor and a file
whenever activities occur.
You can use the IPSSEND and IPSMON programs with the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows NT
Novell NetWare 4.x and 5.0
IBM OS/2 Warp Server
Linux 2.2.x or later
SCO OpenServer 5.0.x
SCO UnixWare 7.0
You also can use the IPSSEND program with DOS, but DOS requires the ServeRAID ASPI Manager. If
you boot the IBM ServeRAID Command Line Programs Diskette, the ASPI Manager is automatically
started.
