2. Make sure no user programs are running and no user volumes are mounted.
By design, UETP assumes and requests the exclusive use of system
resources. If you ignore this restriction, UETP may interfere with
applications that depend on these resources.
3. After you log in, check all devices to be sure that the following conditions
exist:
• All devices you want to test are powered up and are on line to the system.
• Scratch disks are mounted and initialized.
• Disks contain a directory named [SYSTEST] with OWNER_
UIC=[1,7]. (You can create this directory with the DCL command
CREATE/DIRECTORY.)
• Scratch magnetic tape reels are physically mounted on each drive you
want tested and are initialized with the label UETP (using the DCL
command INITIALIZE). Make sure magnetic tape reels contain at least
600 feet of tape.
• Scratch tape cartridges have been inserted in each drive you want to test
and are initialized with the label UETP.
• Line printers and hardcopy terminals have plenty of paper.
• Terminal characteristics and baud rate are set correctly (see the user's
guide for your terminal).
4. To start UETP, enter the following command and press Return:
$ @UETP
UETP responds with the following question:
Run "ALL" UETP phases or a "SUBSET" [ALL]?
Press Return to choose the default response enclosed in brackets. UETP
responds with three more questions in the following sequence:
How many passes of UETP do you wish to run [1]?
How many simulated user loads do you want [n]?
Do you want Long or Short report format [Long]?
Use the default values when acceptance testing with UETP. For stress testing,
enter your own values.
