Operation
To invoke TERMDSM enter:
SYSDIAG
DUI> RUN TERMDSM
At this point the system responds by displaying the TERMDSM banner, your
system's Distributed Terminal Controllers and the following prompt:
Comment DIag DTc DUmp Help Reset Status EXIt ?
To proceed, select one of these eight commands by entering either the
entire command or only the letters shown in upper case.
Each TERMDSM command has a security level which prevents users without
certain capabilities from executing it. The following shows which
capabilities are required for each of three TERMDSM security levels.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| User Capability Security Level |
| |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| SM or DI 0 (greatest capability) |
| |
| SM, DI or OP 1 (second most capability) |
| |
| SM, DI, OP or AM 2 (least capability) |
| |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the TERMDSM commands is explained on the following pages.
Comment
Comment allows comments to be entered for later reference. Security
level is 2.
DIag
DIag is entered to run diagnostic functions. The system responds by
displaying the following:
(diagnostics)
SElftest # (DTC Selftest)
PRint #,#,# (Print to specified port)
Internal #,#,# (Internal loopback on specified port)
EXTernal #,#,# (Loopback through hood on specified port)
Terminal #,#,# (write and read to terminal on that port)
(carriage return to exit) ?
The parameter for SElftest is DTC number. Parameters for all other tests
consist of DTC number, SIC number and port number. For example, to
execute a PRint test on port 7 on SIC 0 on DTC 2 the following would be
entered: PR 2,0,7.
Security level is 0 for DTC selftest; 1 for all other diagnostic tests.
CAUTION A DTC SElftest aborts all sessions on the DTC being tested and
may result in lost data.
DUmp
DUmp dumps the contents of memory for the port and driver to disk. When
DU is entered the system responds by displaying the following:
(dump)
Ldev #
POrt #,#,#
DTc #
(carriage return to exit) ?
Parameters are Ldev number or DTc number. For POrt the parameters are
DTC, SIC and port number. Security level is 0 for DTC dump, 1 for other
functions. Ports and Ldevs are dumped to a file with the following
naming convention: TRMnnnXX.pub.sys where nnn is the day of year and XX
is two characters ranging from AA to ZZ. DTC's are dumped to a file named
as follows: SnnnnnnX.pub.sys, where nnnnnn is the 6-digit DTC address
and X ranges from A to Z. Analyzing dump contents requires specialized
training and is usually done by HP support personnel.
Reset
Reset resets a DTC, SIC or port. When the Reset command is entered the
system responds with the following:
(reset)
Ldev #
POrt #,#,#
SIc #,# (multiplexer card in DTC)
DTc #
(carriage return to exit) ?
Parameters are DTC, SIC and port for POrt and DTC and SIC for SIc. Other
parameters are as indicated. Security is 1 for Ldev's and ports; 0 for
DTC's or SIC's.
CAUTION Active sessions are logged off reset devices.
STatus
STatus displays information about the DTC or port. When STatus is
entered the system responds by displaying:
(status)
DTc #
POrt #,#,#
(carriage return to exit) ?
The parameter for POrt is DTC, SIC and port number.
DTc displays the system's DTC's. It provides the same information
provided when TERMDSM is initiated.
