86 Optimizing IBM Netfinity Servers for SAP R/3 and Windows NT
• If you do not first change to the diskette root directory you will get an error
message that the SM.INI file is not on the diskette.
• Please install the ASMA card driver before you install the Netfinity Manager or
Services. If the driver is correctly installed and you are using Netfinity 5.1 or
higher, Netfinity will recognize the adapter and install the related programs for
it.
• If you are using an older Netfinity version you have to install the Netfinity
add-on programs for the ASMA card from the
Service Processor Manager for
Windows 95 and Windows NT installation diskette after the Netfinity
installation.
• The current ServerGuide which is delivered with every IBM Netfinity Server,
contains at least the Netfinity Manager and Services Version 5.1.
2.13.9 Monitoring ServeRAID Adapter Events
There are two command line tools for the ServeRAID adapter on the IBM
ServeRAID and ServeRAID II supplemental diskette called IPSSEND and
IPSMON.
IPSSEND is a utility that provides a command-line interface for performing
various tasks on an IBM PC ServeRAID Adapter. These tasks include viewing the
current configuration, rebuilding a dead drive, initializing and/or synchronizing
logical drives, plus many more.
IPSMON is a utility that monitors IBM PC ServeRAID Adapters for dead drives,
Predictive Failure Analysis warnings (PFAs), rebuilds, synchronizations, and
logical drive migrations. If any of these occur, a message is logged to the display
and/or a file.
We recommend that you use the IPSMON tool to create a permanent event log
file for your ServeRAID adapters. If you record these event messages to a local
diskette drive or a remote network drive, and a failure on the RAID drives brings
your server down, then you can look in this file and see the latest status of the
adapters and the disk drives. This helps you to decide the next action to bring
your server and RAID arrays back online.
