System Disk Requirements; Preparing Additional Disks - DEC 4000 AXP Service Manual

Press Return after each prompt. After you answer the last question, UETP
initiates its entire sequence of tests, which run to completion without further
input. The final message should look like the following:
*****************************************************
*
END OF UETP PASS 1 AT 20-JUL-1992 16:30:09.38
*
*****************************************************
5. After UETP runs, check the log files for errors. If testing completes
successfully, the OpenVMS AXP operating system is working properly.
After a run of UETP, you should run the Error Log Utility to check for
hardware problems that can occur during a run of UETP. For information
on running the Error Log Utility, refer to the VMS Error Log Utility
Manual.
If UETP does not complete successfully, refer to Section 3.4.11.

3.4.2 System Disk Requirements

Before running UETP, be sure that the system disk has at least 1200 blocks
available. Systems running more than 20 load test processes may require a
minimum of 2000 available blocks. If you run multiple passes of UETP, log files
will accumulate in the default directory and further reduce the amount of disk
space available for subsequent passes.
If disk quotas are enabled on the system disk, you should disable them before you
run UETP.

3.4.3 Preparing Additional Disks

To prepare each disk drive in the system for UETP testing, use the following
procedure:
1. Place a scratch disk in the drive and spin up the drive. If a scratch disk is
not available, use any disk with a substantial amount of free space. UETP
does not overwrite existing files on any volume. If your scratch disk contains
files that you want to keep, do not initialize the disk; go to step 3.
2. If the disk does not contain files you want to save, initialize it. For example:
$ INITIALIZE DUA1: TEST1
