Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD)

Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics (DAAD) is a DOS-based tool designed to run on all Compaq products that contain a Compaq Drive Array Controller. The error messages and codes listed include all codes generated by Compaq products. Your system generates only codes applicable to your configuration and options.

The two main functions of DAAD are:

■Collecting all possible information about array controllers in the system

■Offering a list of all detected problems

NOTE: Refer to the Drive Array Advanced Diagnostics User Guide, found on the SmartStart and Support Software CD, for complete details and procedures about this diagnostic tool.

DAAD works by issuing multiple commands to the array controllers to determine if a problem exists. This data can then be saved to a file and, in severe situations, this file can be sent to Compaq for analysis. In most cases, DAAD provides enough information to initiate problem resolution immediately.

NOTE: DAAD does not write to the drives or destroy data. It does not change or remove configuration information.
