ipssend getstatus controller
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
rebuild Use the rebuild function to rebuild a designated disk drive. This command is valid for
disk arrays that contain one or more logical drives that are in the critical state. Progress
is indicated during the rebuild operation, but you can also use the getstatus command to
obtain progress information about the rebuild.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux, OpenServer,
UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend rebuild controller dch dsid nch nsid
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
dch is the channel number for the defunct drive (1–3)
dsid is the SCSI ID for the defunct drive
(0–15)
nch is the channel number for the new drive (1–3)
nsid is the SCSI ID for the new drive
(0–15)
setstate Use the setstate function to change the state of a physical device from its current state to
a new state.
Attention:
You must be very careful when you use this command. For example, you might lose
data if you reset a defunct device to online without first performing a rebuild operation.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux, OpenServer,
UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend setstate controller channel sid nstate
where:
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
channel is the channel number for the drive (1–3)
sid is the SCSI ID for the drive (0–15)
nstate is the new state for the drive. Valid states are: EMP for Empty, RDY for
Ready, HSP for Hot spare, SHS for Standby hot spare, DDD for Defunct disk drive,
DHS for Defunct hot spare, RBL for Rebuild, SBY for Standby, and ONL for Online.
unblock Use the unblock function to gain access to a blocked logical drive. RAID level-0 logical
drives become blocked if they are in an array that contains RAID level-1 or level-5 logical
drives and the array is being rebuilt. Because the RAID level-0 logical drives cannot be
rebuilt, the data stored on the RAID level-0 logical drives is damaged and should not be
accessed. After you issue the unblock command, you must re-create or restore the data
previously stored on the RAID level-0 logical drives.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, OS/2, NetWare, Linux, OpenServer,
UnixWare, and DOS
Command:
ipssend unblock controller drivenum
