7.3.4.1 Using All Functions
In Example 7–8, all functions are chosen for TILX using a longer run time
and higher record count than the default. The performance statistics and a
performance summary are displayed every 10 minutes. In this case, TILX is
invoked from a maintenance terminal. This example was run on an HSJ40 array
controller.
Example 7–8 Using All Functions
HSJ> RUN TILX
Tape Inline Exerciser - version 1.0
Enter TILX hex debug flags (0:ffff) [0] ?
Use all defaults (y/n) [y] ?n
Enter execution time limit in minutes (10:65535) [10] ?
Enter performance summary interval in minutes (1:65535) [10] ?
Include performance statistics in performance summary (y/n) [n]?y
Display hard/soft errors (y/n) [n] ?y
Display hex dump of Error Information Packet requester specific
information (y/n) [n] ?y
When the hard error limit is reached, the unit will be dropped from testing.
Enter hard error limit (1:65535) [32] ?
When the soft error limit is reached, soft errors will no longer be
displayed but testing will continue for the unit.
Enter soft error limit (1:65535) [32] ?
Enter IO queue depth (1:20) [4] ?6
Suppress caching (y,n) [n] ?
*** Available tests are:
1. Basic Function
2. User Defined
3. Read Only
Use the Basic Function test 99.9% of the time. The User Defined test
is for special problems only.
Enter test number (1:3) [1] ?1
Enter data pattern number 0=ALL, 19=USER_DEFINED, (0:19) [0] ?
Enter record count (1:4294967295) [4096] ?1000
Perform data compare (y/n) [n] ?y
Enter compare percentage (1:100) [2] ?1
Tape unit numbers on this controller include:
