Command Line Switches
There are several command line switches available for modifying the standard
behavior of the Compaq ADD driver. The syntax for command line switches
is:
■ /V
The Verbose Mode command line switch is a standard command line
switch that instructs the driver to print information to the screen as it
loads. The screen displays the current driver name and version number
along with information about associated adapters and drives. Adapter
information includes IRQ assignment, slot number, and configuration
order number. Drive information includes physical drive count, logical
drive count, and geometry information for each logical drive.
Verbose Mode command line may be written as:
BASEDEV=CPQARRAY.ADD /V
■ /A:[adapter index] [unit parameters]
This is a standard command line switch that instructs the driver to
modify its behavior toward adapters.
G The [adapter index] is the number that identifies a controller. The
index is based on ‘0’ for the lowest controller order number
associated with the adapter controlled by this ADD. The index
number is incremented by one for each controller in the system as
you move up the controller configuration order.
The table below shows a system with three adapters controlled by
the CPQARRAY.ADD. The lowest configured adapter is the
secondary controller.
