The command in this example copies selected events from the default SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS file to a new error log file named ERRLOG.DAT.

The selected events are those that occurred since the specified date on all nodes except PANDA.
#3

$ ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV WRITE /ENTRY=(START:5,END:10) 
      

The command in this example copies selected events from the default SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS file to a new error log file named ERRLOG.DAT.

The selected events start with entry 5 and end with entry 10.

#4

$ ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV WRITE /ENTRY=(START:5,END:10) /REJECTED 
      

This example is identical to the previous example except that rejected events are copied rather than selected events.

The rejected events are those that fall outside the specified entry range.

10.5 ELV Sample Reports

You can use the following TRANSLATE qualifiers to produce variations of the standard report:

See Table 10-1 for more information about report formats.

The following sections contain examples of the reports that result from using these qualifiers. In addition, an example is shown of using no qualifiers to produce a standard report of the default detail level.

10.5.1 /ONE_LINE Example

The report produced when you use the /ONE_LINE qualifier includes only the header information for each event.

The example that follows contains multiple summary reports, one for each node represented in this error log file, and a summary report for the entire file.

10.5.5 /TERSE Example

The following modifications are made to the standard report when you use the /TERSE qualifier:

The example that follows shows the results of using the /TERSE qualifier with the /FULL qualifier. You can also use /TERSE with standard reports of any detail level to output event information in terse format.

Chapter 11
InfoServer Utility (Alpha and Integrity servers Only)

11.1 InfoServer Description

On Alpha and Integrity server systems, the InfoServer application allows you to create virtual disk services on the local area network.

Virtual disk services can be created for the following devices:

Comparison of InfoServer Hardware and the InfoServer Application

The new InfoServer application on OpenVMS differs from previous InfoServer hardware in a number of important ways. Some of the most notable are the following:

11.2 InfoServer Usage Summary

ESS$INFOSERVER is the user interface for the LASTport/Disk server implemented as an application on OpenVMS. Its behavior is similar to that of the hardware InfoServer product.

You can use the InfoServer utility commands to do the following:

To run the Infoserver, enter the following command:


$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:ESS$INFOSERVER 

The system displays the following prompt:


InfoServer> 

If your system does not display the InfoServer prompt but displays an error message instead, ask your system manager to start the InfoServer server.

Following the InfoServer prompt, you can enter any InfoServer command; for example:


InfoServer> SHOW SERVER 

You can also enter HELP to obtain help on InfoServer commands within the utility:


InfoServer> HELP SHOW SERVER 


Command

command

Specifies an InfoServer command. If you do not specify a command, the utility displays its prompt and waits for command input until you exit the utility.

11.3 InfoServer Commands

The following sections describe and provide examples of InfoServer commands.

CREATE SERVICE

Creates a service for a specified device or partition.

Usage rules:


Format

CREATE SERVICE serviceName device-or-partitionName


Parameters

serviceName

The name by which the service is known to the local area network. The service name can consist of alphanumeric characters and dollar signs ($). It can be 255 characters or fewer in length.

device-or-partitionName

The name of the OpenVMS disk device or partition name is the name being served to the local area network. The name of the device or partition must have been created previously.

Explanations of device and partition names follow.


Qualifiers

/CLASS=className

Specifies a subset of the complete LASTport Disk (LAD) name space.

The purpose of class names is to subdivide name spaces so that clients see only those names that are meaningful to them. The use of class names also allows two services to have the same name and not conflict with one another.

For example, you can use different class names for different on-disk structures that several client systems use. You might use SERVICEA/CLASS=ODS-2 for some client systems and SERVICEA/CLASS=ISO_9660 for other client systems. The service has the same name (SERVICEA), but the class names are different.

The class name you use depends on the client systems that connect to the service being created. The default class name is ODS_2. For example, OpenVMS systems use the ODS_2 name space when attempting to mount an InfoServer device. Note that OpenVMS clients can solicit only those services that are in the ODS_2 service class.

Valid class names are the following:


           V2.0           Names understood by PCSA MS-DOS Clients 
           Unformatted    Virtual disk has no format 
           MSDOS          MSDOS virtual disks 
           ODS_2          VMS virtual disks 
           UNIX           UNIX virtual disks 
           ISO_9660       ISO 9660 CD format 
           HIGH_SIERRA    MS-DOS CD format 
           APPLE          Macintosh HFS format 
           SUN            Sun format 

/ENCODED_PASSWORD=hexstring

The SAVE command creates this qualifier. Because passwords are not stored in plain text, the hashed password value is written out as part of the SAVE operation so that the service can be recreated without revealing the password.

Note that if you edit the command procedure that the SAVE command creates and change the service name, the encoded password value is no longer valid. You need to set another password on the service using the /PASSWORD qualifer.

/PASSWORD=passwordstring

/NOPASSWORD (default)

Specifies an optional access control password for the service. The client system must specify the password to access the service.

The password-string can be 39 alphanumeric ASCII characters in length. If no password is specified, the client system is not required to provide a password to access the service.

The text password is hashed and stored in encrypted form in memory with the other service information.

/RATING=DYNAMIC

/RATING=STATIC=value

Clients use the service rating to select a service in the case of multiple matching services. The service with the highest service rating is selected.

The system adjusts the dynamic service rating based on load. You can also set a static rating between 0 and 65535. The system does not adjust static ratings.

One use of static ratings is to migrate clients from one copy of a service to another. If you set a static rating of 0 on services you want to migrate clients away from, no new clients will connect to a 0-rated service; instead, they will connect to higher-rated services. When all current clients have disconnected from a service, you can safely delete it.

/READAHEAD (default)

/NOREADAHEAD

When a disk read is required to fill a cache block, the /READAHEAD qualifier specifies that the read is to be from the first block requested to the end of the bucket boundary. Read-ahead can speed up sequential operations by preloading disk blocks that are needed into the cache.

If you specify both the /READAHEAD and the /READBEHIND qualifiers, any block requested within a cache bucket causes the entire bucket range of blocks to be read into the cache.

/READBEHIND

/NOREADBEHIND (default)

When a disk read is required to fill a cache block, the /READBEHIND qualifier specifies that the read is to include all blocks from the beginning of the cache bucket boundary up to and including the requested blocks.

If you specify both the /READAHEAD and /READBEHIND qualifiers, any block requested within a cache bucket causes the entire bucket range of blocks to be read into the cache.

/READERS=number (default is READERS=1000)

/NOREADERS

Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous client connections allowed for read access. The default is 1000 readers. A value of 0 indicates write-only access.

If a client requests read-only or read/write access to a service, the system counts this as one reader.

/WRITERS

/NOWRITERS (default)

Specifies that the service is to allow access to a single writer.
