Invokes an interrupt 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 interrupt 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 16 bytes for all tests. The default size is 16.
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: INTERRUPT/NODENAME=apple/PRINT/TYPE=PAT/SIZE=16 %NET-S-NORMAL, normal successful completion Test Parameters: Test duration (sec) 30 Target node "APPLE" Line speed (Mbps) 100 Message size (bytes) 16 Summary statistics: Total messages XMIT 166849 RECV 0 Total bytes XMIT 2 MB Messages per second 5561.63 Bytes per second 88 KBps Line thruput 711 Kbps %Line Utilization 0.712 This command invokes the interrupt test with the pattern subtest. DTS sends interrupt messages to DTR on node DALLAS where test information is to be printed. The interrupt message size is 16 bytes, and the test is 30 seconds (by default).
