    devices.  The following list identifies each driver and utility
    contained  on the SSD  as well as  the Compaq specific hardware
    which it supports:

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 1.02 : 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 1.05 : 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.
							   
    7) Rev 1.01 : 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
       View   Integrated   Management   Log
	       
		   
       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  diskette   is   required to  produce mail
	      alerting for Redundant   Backup  Pair and Standalone
	      network  interface   controller  failure/recoveries.
	      For  supported   controller  names  please  refer to
