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 1.03 : 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 1.03 : 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 , SMART-2 driver and the Fibre 
       channel   driver  and   supports  monitoring   of   drives,
       Fans, Power-supplies and overheat condition in the subsystem  
       connected to  IDA , Compaq SMART-2 or Compaq  Fibre  channel
       family of Array controller and sends Mail Alert notification
       if any event  is detected.

    4) Rev 1.10 : Compaq ULS agent (CPQULS)
       This runs as a deamon and  monitors  the  status of devices,
       fans, power suplies  and  overheat  condition  of  the  SCSI
       subsystem.This agent  interacts  with  the  Compaq Fast-Wide 
       and  Wide-Ultra  Controller  Driver  and  sends  Mail  Alert
       notification in case of any events detected.

    5) Rev 1.10 : Compaq Ultra utility (CPQULTRA)
       This is a text based utility which allows the user to monitor
       the status of all the SCSI  Controllers and  devices  present
       in the system. 

    6) Rev 1.01 :  RIVIEW 
       This  is a  curses  based utility which  allows the user to
       monitor  the  Drive Array and  Correctable Memory status on
       the server.

    7) Rev 1.0 :  RICONFIG
       This  is a  curses based  utility which  allows the user to
       view and on-line configure the Remote Insight Board.

    8) Rev 2.01 : 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.
					   
    9) Rev 1.01 : S. M. A. R. T (IDE/EIDE and SCSI) Agent
       Supports  monitoring of  S. M. A. R. T capable IDE/EIDE and

       administrator on a pre-failure notification.

    10) Rev 1.04 : Compaq System Management Utility
       Server based utilities which support :
       Notification of network, storage and system health  failure
       events through Mail alerting mechanism.
