This section contains detailed instructions for running UETP,
including:
Logging in
Using the [SYSTEST] directory
Logging In Obtain the SYSTEST password
from your system manager. Log in to the SYSTEST account from the
console terminal as follows:
Username:SYSTESTPassword:
Because SYSTEST has privileges, unauthorized use of
this account can compromise the security of your system.
UETP will fail if you do not run the test from the SYSTEST
account. Also, if you try to run UETP from a terminal other than
the console terminal, the device test phase displays an error message
stating that the terminal you are using is unavailable for testing.
You can ignore this message.
After you log in to the SYSTEST account, enter the command
SHOW USERS to make sure no user programs are running and no user
volumes are mounted. UETP requires exclusive use of system resources.
If you ignore this restriction, UETP can interfere with applications
that depend on these resources.
The information contained in
Wrong Quotas, Privileges, or Account can help you identify and solve problems,
including wrong quotas, privileges, or accounts, that could occur when
you are running UETP. Refer to this section before you run UETP.
Using the SYSTEST Directories If you logged
in successfully, your default directory is [SYSTEST] on the system
disk. UETP uses this directory to hold all the files used by UETP
command procedure (UETP.COM) and temporary files used by UETP during
testing.
On a typical system, the DCL command SHOW LOGICAL displays
the translation of the logical name SYS$TEST:
To use UETP to test a particular disk, such as a scratch disk,
create either a [SYSTEST] directory or a [SYS0.SYSTEST] directory
on that disk.
How UETP Works on Disks discusses setting up scratch disks for testing.
