which provide support for Compaq products other than Network Interface Controllers.

Software Components :

     o Rev 1.01 : Remote Insight Board Driver for Banyan VINES 6.20(0) 
                  and above.

     o Rev 1.02 : Compaq Additional Support for SMART-2 Array 
                        controller driver

     o Rev 1.10 : Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controller driver
                  Supports Integrated Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controller 
                  and Compaq Wide-Ultra SCSI controllers

     o Rev 1.20 : Compaq Enhanced IDE controller driver
                  Supports IDE/EIDE hard drives and EIDE CD-ROM 

     o Rev 2.01 : Compaq Wellness driver
                  Supports server Health monitoring features

     o Rev 2.03 : Compaq SMART-2 (EISA / PCI) Array Controller driver

     o Rev 1.00 : Banyan IDA, IDA-2, IAES & SMART SCSI Array controller 
                  driver

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 1.01 : 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 1.04 : Compaq SMART-2 Configuration Display Utility.
            On-line utility to display SMART-2 Array family of controller
            information for Logical drives. 

            Run 'cpqs2' at Unix prompt. "cpqs2 -h" gives the available 
            options for the utility.

         7) Rev 1.00 : 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
                   
            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
