The Error Log Viewer (ELV) utility allows you to quickly examine,
from the command line, an error log file in a user-readable format
before deciding whether the data warrants a more comprehensive
analysis with a tool such as the System Event Analyzer.
ELV is particularly useful with error logs created on systems with
newer devices or on newer systems such as most of the DS, ES, and
GS series. ELV can also be used with error logs created on some
older systems or on systems equipped with older devices.
ELV provides detailed information for all error log events of the
following types:
o Bugchecks
o Volume mounts and dismounts
o Correctable error throttling notifications
o Software parameters
o Control entries:
- Indictment events
- System service messages
- Network messages
- Operator messages
- ERRLOG.SYS created
- Time stamps
- System startup messages
ELV provides detailed information for some error log events of the
following types:
o Machine checks
o Device errors
o Device timeouts
o Asynchronous device attentions
o Logged messages
o Logged MSCP messages
To invoke ELV, enter ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV. For complete help on
the ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV command, enter HELP ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV
at the DCL prompt.
