NAME

hps_log − display log and supplementary information from the MVME338 host adapter or cluster controllers

SYNOPSIS

hps_log [ −uc ] [ −a addr ] [ −d device ]

DESCRIPTION

hps_log reads the log table from either an MVME338 host adapter or an MVME338 cluster controller and writes it to standard output.  The default is to interpret the contents and produce a formatted display of the log table of the MVME338 with device name /dev/xedt/mvme338_c0. 

OPTIONS

One or more of the following options may be selected:

−aSpecify that the log table from one of the cluster controllers should be read.  The cluster address is specified in addr. 

−dSpecify the device file name for the host adapter board.  The file name is specified in device. 

−uProduce an unformatted (binary) write of the log table.  This is designed to be piped into another program to interpret the data. 

−cSpecify that the log table be cleared after it is read. 

EXAMPLES

To write a formatted display of the default host adapter’s log table and then clear the log table:

 hps_log -c

To write a formatted display of the cluster controller 1 log table:

 hps_log -a 1

To write a formatted display of the log table of the second MVME338 in the system:

 hps_log -d /dev/xedt/mvme338_c1

ERRORS

The following errors can be reported by the MVME338:

E_OFFLINE
occurs when the Network Manager attempts but fails to transmit a packet of data to a cluster controller.

E_NORESP
occurs when an attempt is made to access a cluster controller that does not respond.

E_BADRESP
occurs when a request for data is made from a cluster controller and incorrect data returned.
