Software Components: o Rev 1.01 : Remote Insight Board Driver for Banyan VINES 6.20(0) and above. o Rev 2.03 : Compaq SMART-2 (EISA / PCI) Array Controller driver Supports Compaq SMART-2 Array family of controllers o Rev 1.02 : Compaq Additional Support for SMART-2 Array controller driver o Rev 1.10 : Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controller driver Supports Integrated Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controller and Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controllers o Rev 1.20 : Compaq Enhanced IDE controller driver Supports IDE/EIDE hard drives and EIDE CD-ROM o Rev 2.01 : Compaq Wellness driver Supports server Health monitoring features o Rev 1.00 : Banyan IDA, IDA-2, IAES & SMART SCSI Array controller driver Utilities provided in this SSD : 1) Rev 1.01 : RI Agent. This runs as a daemon and interacts with the RIB Driver, Health and IDA Agents to send SNMP Traps to the Remote Insight Board. Additional executable of RI Agent is included which is compatible with Wellness driver v1.0 2) Rev 1.02 : Health Agent. This runs as a daemon and monitors the Correctable Memory Errors, counts and informs the RI Agent to send an SNMP Trap whenever a Correctable Memory Error occurs. This agent interacts with Wellness driver and supports monitoring of various server components and sends Mail Alert notification whenever a status change is detected on any of the server components. This feature will be available only if the Compaq Wellness driver version 2.00 or above is installed in your system. Additional executable for Health Agent is included which is compatible with Wellness driver version 1.0 3) Rev 1.01 : IDA Agent. This runs as a daemon and monitors the status of the Drive Array configured on the server. It informs the RI Agent to send an SNMP Trap in case there is any change in the status of the logical, physical and spare drives. This agent interacts with IDA driver and SMART-2 driver and supports monitoring of drives connected to IDA or Compaq SMART-2 Array controller and sends Mail Alert notification if a drive status change is detected. 4) Rev 1.0 : RIVIEW. This is a curses based utility which allows the user to monitor the Drive Array and Correctable Memory status on the server. 5) Rev 1.0 : RICONFIG. This is a curses based utility which allows the user to view and on-line configure the Remote Insight Board. 6) Rev 1.04 : Compaq SMART-2 Configuration Display Utility. On-line utility to display SMART-2 Array family of controller information for Logical drives. Run 'cpqs2' at Unix prompt. "cpqs2 -h" gives the available options for the utility. 7) Rev 1.00 : S.M.A.R.T (IDE/EIDE and SCSI) Agent. Supports monitoring of S.M.A.R.T capable SCSI and IDE/EIDE drives connected to Compaq Wide Ultra SCSI controller and Compaq Enhanced IDE controller respectively. 8) Rev 1.00 : Compaq System Management Utility. Server based utilities which support : Notification of network, storage and system health failure events through Mail alerting mechanism, S.M.A.R.T support utilities Dynamic enable/disable of driver debug messages Menu option to launch existing utilities - cpqs2, cpqnet, riview, riconfig View critical/correctable error log View/Save cpqnetlog and cpqs2 output To launch Compaq System Management Utility, run 'cpqsm' at Unix prompt. NOTE : The latest version of 'cpqnetlog' contained on "Ver 2.04 LAN Adapter Support Software for VINES 6.0 and 7.0" diskette is required to produce mail alerting for Redundant Backup Pair and Standalone network interface controller failure/recoveries. For supported controller names please refer to README.RBP file available on Ver 2.04 LAN Adapter Support Software for VINES 6.0 and 7.0, Documentation Diskette. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain two formatted 1.44 MB diskettes. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is SP2714.EXE. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file: SP2714 [ENTER] The following files should be created: 275567US._01 275567US._02 QRST5.EXE SP2714.DOC 4. To create the diskettes, at the DOS prompt run : QRST5 [ENTER] Follow the on-screen instructions, which prompt you when to insert the DOS formatted diskettes and allow you to print labels. 5. After the SSD diskettes are created, you may delete the downloaded file SP2714.EXE and the other files it creates on the download directory if you wish. 6. Insert the documentation diskette(the second diskette) into drive A and perform one of the following to view the installation instructions : From DOS prompt enter "a:\readme" or Boot the system with the diskette in the drive A: Copyright 1997, Compaq Computer Corporation.
