EVUCA Functions
EVUCA checks the patch revision level on the latest diagnostic CD or tape
against the EEPROM patch revision level on the newly installed processors.
If EVUCA finds different patch revision levels, it prompts you to ask if the
patches should be made; that is, if the revisions on the diagnostic media
should be written to EEPROM on the newly installed processors where it
will be usedto augment or correct code in the Console and Diagnostic ROMs
and PCS (Patchable Control Store) on the processor chip itself.
In general, a higher patch number means a later revision. For example,
Revision 1.06 was made at a later time than 1.01, and includes the most
complete and comprehensive changes. (You may want to run EVUCA to
check EEPROM patch revision levels on all processors, not just those newly
installed, to make sure all are running at the same level.)
This section shows a sample console session, starting with booting the VAX
Diagnostic Supervisor (VAX/DS) from the console prompt. EVUCA is one
of the programs that can be run under VAX/DS.
1
Boot VAX/DS from the diagnostic media. This example shows a
boot from an Ethernet-based compact disk (CD) server connected to
a DEMNA (indicated by EX0) located at XMI node A. The /FILENAME
qualifier identifies the Initial System Load (ISL) program, needed for
booting from CD servers. The general form for the filename is ISL_
LVAX_n, where n is the revision letter noted on the diagnostic CD.
For a CD server connected to a DEBNI or DEBNA, an example is:
>>> BOOT/XMI:m/FILENAME:ISL_LVAX_B/BI:n/R5:10 ET0
An example of booting from a TK50, TK70, or TF85 console load device
is:
>>> BOOT/R5:10 CSA1
2
For CD servers only: the ISL program prompts for responses to load
and run VAX/DS. These prompts are discussed in items
3
through
6
.
If you boot from another device, VAX/DS is booted and run immediately;
go to step
7
.

The ISL program presents presents options; type 3 to select a service.

You can select a service in two ways: Option 1 lists the services
available. Option 2 lets you enter a known service name.
