Invokes a data test.
1 – GENERAL QUALIFIERS
1.1 /NODENAME
/NODENAME=node-id
Identifies the node (by name or address) on which DTR is to run. The
default is the local node. DTR runs on the default nonprivileged
account on the remote node because access control information cannot
be used as part of the node name. To run DTR on an account other
than the default, you must create a new account and associate it
with the DTR object.
1.2 /PRINT
/PRINT
/NOPRINT (D)
Instructs DTS to print or log test results. The default is /NOPRINT.
1.3 /STATISTICS
/STATISTICS (D)
/NOSTATISTICS
Instructs DTS to print statistics on data and interrupt tests. The
default is /STATISTICS.
1.4 /DISPLAY
/DISPLAY=number
/NODISPLAY (D)
Instructs DTS to print the specified number of bytes (in hexadecimal)
of data and interrupt messages transmitted to DTR. The default is
/NODISPLAY.
1.5 /SPEED
/SPEED=number
Indicates the line speed (in Mbps) of the test line. DTS uses
this qualifier for reporting statistics (DTS does not control line
speeds). The default number is 100(100 Mbps).
The allowable values are 10 , 100 , 1000 and 10000 for 10 Mbps , 100 Mbps,
1 Gbps and 10 Gbps respectively.
2 – COMMAND-SPECIFIC QUALIFIERS
2.1 /TYPE
/TYPE=test-type
Indicates the subtest for the data test. There are four subtests:
SINK Indicates a sink test. The default test type.
SEQ Indicates a sequence test.
PAT Indicates a pattern test.
ECHO Indicates an echo test.
2.2 /SIZE
/SIZE=number
Indicates the data message length in bytes. The lower bounds are 0 for
a sink or echo test; 4 for a sequence test; and 5 for a pattern test.
The upper bound is 4096 bytes for all tests. The default size is 128.
2.3 /[TEST-DURATION]
/[TEST-DURATION]
Indicates the duration of the test. There are three units of time
for this parameter:
/SECONDS=number
/MINUTES=number
/HOURS=number
The number specifies the duration of the test. The default unit is
/SECONDS=30. The maximum test duration is 3,600,000 seconds or 1000 hours.
3 – Example
_Test: DATA/PRINT/TYPE=SEQ/SIZE=128/SECONDS=10
%NET-S-NORMAL, normal successful completion
Test Parameters:
Test duration (sec) 10
Target node "APPLE"
Line speed (Mbps) 100
Message size (bytes) 128
Summary statistics:
Total messages XMIT 211103 RECV 0
Total bytes XMIT 27 MB
Messages per second 21110.30
Bytes per second 2 MBps
Line thruput 21 Mbps
%Line Utilization 21.617
This command invokes the data test with the sequence subtest. DTS
sends messages to DTR on the local node where test information is to be
printed. The message size is 128 bytes, and the duration of the test
is 10 seconds.
