Starting DAAD

To start DAAD:

1.Insert the DAAD diskette into drive A.

2.Reboot the system - OR - if you are at the DOS prompt, enter the following:

A:DAAD

NOTE: To generate a DAAD report without starting the interactive portion of the utility, enter the following at the DOS prompt:

DAAD filename

where filename is the name of the file or report.

A dialog box displays, indicating the version of DAAD installed. Press the Enter (or ‘ C’) key to continue, or press the Esc (or ‘ E’) key to exit without continuing.

3.If you continue, a Please Wait panel displays, indicating that DAAD is identifying the system parameters.

DAAD gathers all the information it can from all of the array controllers in the system. The time it takes to gather this information depends on the size of your system.

A second Please Wait panel may display to indicate that the utility is identifying the ROM version of an array controller in the system.

CAUTION: Do not cycle the power; the utility must perform low-level operations that, if interrupted, could cause the controller to revert to a previous level of firmware if the firmware was soft-upgraded.

When the information gathering process is complete, the main DAAD screen displays.
