dteststat(1M)

NAME

dteststat — display the results of disk testing, or cancel the test.

SYNOPSIS

dteststat [-D slot] [-?] array-id

dteststat -D slot -c [-?] array-id

Remarks

This command and the HP Advanced Disk Array management software are not supported on systems running HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, HP-UX 11i Version 1.6, and later versions.

DESCRIPTION

dteststat displays the results of testing performed on the indicated disk in the disk array identified by array-id. A test in progress can also be canceled using dteststat. Disk testing is initiated using the drivetest command.

The array-id used to address the disk array can be the disk array serial number, the character device file name of any LUN on the array (LUN 0 if no LUNs are created), or the alias text string assigned to the disk array.

Options

dteststat supports the following options:

none: Display results for all disks being tested. Tests results are shown for disks that have completed testing, and progress is shown for tests still underway.
-c: Cancel the test currently in progress on the indicated disk. A test can be canceled on only one disk at a time, so the -D option must be included when canceling a test.
-D slot: Display test results for the disk installed in the cabinet slot identified by slot. Slot numbers must be of the form An or Bn, where A or B correspond to a cabinet column, and n corresponds to a shelf position (1-6).
-?: Display expanded usage message. This option overrides all others.

1: An error in execution (I/O, subsystem, security, etc.) occurred.
2: An error in command syntax occurred: for example, an unknown command-line option was passed.
3: Timeout in communication to server. May indicate the ARMServer is not running.

DIAGNOSTICS

The following messages can be generated by dteststat:

Usage: dteststat [-D slot] [-c] array-id

An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter the command with all necessary arguments.

dteststat: Arg out of range

One of the arguments has exceeded its maximum or minimum size, or is incorrect in form. Check the size and form of each argument.

dteststat: Unknown argument

An invalid argument was specified. Check command usage.

dteststat: No such file or directory

The specified array-id does not exist or does not identify a disk array that is communicating with the system. Verify the correct array-id with ioscan(1M) or arraydsp(1M).

dteststat: Error in command execution, <Additional Error Info>: 
<Error Info Decode> 

The command failed due to a device error, an internal error, or a system error. The Additional Error Info and Error Info Decode fields will hold specifics about the failure and its cause.

dteststat: Array was just powered-on or reset.

The command failed because the disk array has been powered-on or reset. Reissue the command and it should succeed.

EXAMPLES

Display the results of the test performed on the disk installed in slot B3 of the disk array identified by device file /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0:

dteststat -D B3 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0 

Display the results of the tests performed on all disks installed in the disk array identified by alias AUTORAID1:

dteststat AUTORAID1 

Cancel a test currently in progress on the disk installed in slot A1 of disk array serial number 00786b5c0000:

dteststat -D A1 -c 00786b5c0000
