System Acceptance Exerciser (SAX)

SAX tests reside in the /systest directory on the system disk. These tests verify system
operation by completely exercising the system, including system options, peripherals,
and networks.
SAX includes Storage Subsystem Tests (SST), a new diagnostic for detailed testing of
storage devices, which replaces all storage tests of previous SAX releases.
You can also run SST outside of the SAX environment. When run by itself, SST pres-
ents you with a prompt-based user interface. You can also select a graphical interface.
You can run SAX tests from a system's disk, from another disk on the network, or (if
the display is inoperative) through an SIO line to another system. For more information
about SAX tests, refer to Using Domain Diagnostics, Volume 1.
