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.
