Disk Inline Exerciser, Configuration Utility | Compaq HSZ80 specs

1–16General Description

Disk Inline Exerciser

Use the disk inline exerciser (DILX) to investigate the data-transfer capabilities of disk drives. DILX tests and verifies operation of the controller and the SCSI–2 disk drives attached to it. DILX generates intense read and write loads to the disk drive while monitoring the drive’s performance and status.

Configuration Utility

Use the configuration (CONFIG) utility to add one or more storage devices to the subsystem. This utility checks the device ports for new disk drives, then adds them to the controller’s configuration and automatically names them.

HSUTIL

Use HSUTIL to upgrade the firmware on disk drives in the subsystem and to format disk drives.

Code Load and Code Patch Utility

Use the Code Load/Code Patch (CLCP) utility to upgrade the controller software and the EMU software. You can also use it to patch the controller software. Whenever you install a new controller, you must have the correct software version and patch number.

IMPORTANT: Only Compaq field service personnel are authorized to upload EMU microcode updates. Contact the Customer Service Center (CSC) for directions in obtaining the appropriate EMU microcode and installation guide.

Clone Utility

Use the Clone utility to duplicate the data on any unpartitioned mirrorset. Back up the cloned data while the actual storageset remains online.
