Running RAID Subsystem Diagnostics
Identified HDD as Source updates the configuration
information with stored configuration information on a hard
disk drive that matches the identifiers stored in the NVRAM.
The updated configuration information is then copied to
NVRAM, the adapter EEPROM, and the hard disk drives
configured in an array.
Specific HDD as Source retrieves the configuration information
with stored configuration information on the hard disk drive
that you select. The updated configuration information is then
copied to NVRAM, EEPROM, and configured hard disk drives.
Running RAID Subsystem Diagnostic Tests
The ServeRAID Subsystem Diagnostic program provides several
utility programs that allow you to test the ServeRAID adapter and
the devices connected to it.
To run the RAID diagnostic utility programs, do the following steps:
1. Start the ServeRAID configuration program (see “Starting the
ServeRAID Configuration Program” on page 86).
2. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu.

Run Adapter Self-test runs diagnostic tests on the
ServeRAID adapter.
SCSI Device Self-test runs diagnostic tests on the SCSI
devices attached to the ServeRAID adapter.
Drive Media Test verifies that all sectors on a hard disk
drive can be accessed. The drive must be in the RDY or
HSP state.
Format Drive performs a low-level format on a hard disk
drive. For more information, see “Formatting Drives” on
page 126.
