2.0 SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
The software components contained in the SSD are device drivers
and support utilities. A device driver is software that the
operating system uses to set up and communicate with hardware
devices. The following list identifies each driver and utility
contained on the SSD as well as the Compaq specific hardware
which it supports:

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 1.02 : 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 1.05 : Compaq SMART-2 and Fibre Channel Configuration
Display Utility.
On-line utility to display SMART-2 and Fibre Channel Array
family of controller information for Logical drives.
Run 'cpqs2' at Unix prompt. "cpqs2 -h" gives the available
options for the utility.
7) Rev 1.01 : Compaq System Management Utility.
Server based utilities which support :
Notification of network, storage and system health failure
events through Mail alerting mechanism.
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
View Integrated Management Log
To launch Compaq System Management Utility, run 'cpqsm' at
Unix prompt.
NOTE : The version of 'cpqnetlog' contained on "Ver 2.04
LAN Adapter Support Software for VINES 6.0 and 7.0"
or above 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

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
SP3082.EXE.
3. From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:
SP3082 [ENTER]
