Operating System Exercisers (DEC VET)

The Verifier and Exerciser Tool (DEC VET) is supported by the Tru64 UNIX,
OpenVMS, and Windows NT operating systems. DEC VET is an on-line
diagnostic tool used to ensure the proper installation and operation of hardware
and base operating system software.  Use DEC VET as part of acceptance
testing to ensure that the CPU, memory, disk, tape, file system, and network
are interacting properly.

2.3.7

 

Crash Dumps

For fatal errors, the Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS operating systems save the
contents of memory to a crash dump file.  This file can be used to determine why
the system crashed.

CCAT, the Compaq Crash Analysis Tool, is the primary crash dump analysis
tool for analyzing crash dumps on Alpha systems running Tru64 UNIX or
OpenVMS.  CCAT compares the results of a crash dump with a set of rules.  If
the results match one or more rules, CCAT notifies the system user of the cause
of the crash and provides information to avoid similar crashes in the future.
CCAT does not currently support AlphaServer systems running Windows NT.

Windows NT provides the Windows NT Crash Dump Collector, a client/server
application that automatically transfers crash information from the client
machine to a centralized server.  A control panel application is included, which
allows the customer to control the transfer of crash information.

2.3.8

 

Revision and Configuration Management Tool (RCM)

RCM is a tool to assist with revision and configuration management for
hardware, firmware, operating system, and software products.  It collects
configuration and revision data from a system and stores it.   A report generator
produces configuration, change, and comparison reports that are useful in
finding revision incompatibilities.  RCM also helps you verify service actions.
For example, if a new board was supposed to be installed, you can use RCM to
verify that the installation was done.

RCM is accessible from the following Web site:
