O5hbacert --
test and certification suites for SCO OpenServer 5 SCSI drivers
Synopsis
Text is unmodified for SCO OpenServer 5!
Install the test suites.
Log in as ``hbacert''.
Issue the run_tests command from a terminal window
to display the menu.
Select the Configure Tests menu option,
select the test(s) to be configured,
and populate the parameters as they are displayed.
Return to the menu and select the
Run Tests menu option.
Select the test(s) to be run.
You will be prompted for anything else that is required.
When the tests are complete,
select the Gather Results menu option.
After the results are gathered,
select the View Results menu option.
Enter the name of the test for which
you want to view the results,
or press <Enter> to view all results.
Description
The hbacert test and certification suites
are used to test SCSI
HA and target drivers
with their associated hardware.
Configuration parameters
Configuration parameters are defined
for each test.
These parameters are located in the
/home/hbacert/testsuites directory tree,
in files named <testname>/tetexec.cfg.
For example, the hba-hd parameters
are in the hd/tetexec.cfg file.
In some cases,
you will have to manually edit these files.
hba-CD-ROM parameters
CD_RDEVICE
Character special device name
of the CD-ROM device.
CD_BDEVICE
Block special device name
of the CD-ROM device.
CD_MPOINT
Name of the directory where the
CD-ROM filesystem will be mounted.
Default is /mnt.
CD_STRESS_ITER
Number of times to repeat the stress test.
hba-fdd parameters
FDD_BUF_SIZE
Number of bytes read or written
on each I/O call to the floppy disk.
A higher value for this parameter means
that each read and write operation takes more time,
so fewer calls are made.
An optimum value for this parameter is 8192.
FDD_CMD_ITER
Number of times command tests
(format, cpio, dd, and so forth)
will be repeated on the floppy disk.
FDD_TYPE
Floppy disk density type,
expressed in either MB or KB.
Valid values are:
360KB
double density 360KB floppy disk
1.2MB
quad density 1.2 MB floppy disk
720KB
double density 720 KB floppy disk
1.44MB
high density 1.44 MB floppy disk
2.88MB
high density 2.88 MB floppy disk
STRESS_TIME
Floppy disk stress test duration in minutes.
A recommended value for this parameter is 60 minutes.
hba-hd parameters
HD_RDEVICE
Character special file (node name)
of the raw disk device
on which the tests will be performed.
hba-mtest parameters
TEST_SCENARIO
Must be set to all.
No configuration is required for this suite
of manual tests for HBA devices.
See
``Individual test descriptions'' in Developing SDI storage drivers
for detailed instructions about running these tests.
hba-pdix
DEV1_NAME
Character device name of the first device being tested.
This device is used as the primary device
for every test in this suite.
For example, pass-through ioctls
are tested only for the DEV1_NAME device.
DENSITY_CODE1
If DEV1_NAME is a tape device,
this is the density code of the device.
DEV2_NAME
Character device name of the second device being tested.
DENSITY_CODE2
If DEV2_NAME is a tape device,
this is the density code of the device.
hba-pcert
FLOP_DEV_NAME
Name of the floppy device.
FS_TYPE
Type of file system used for the
HBA driver package on the floppy.
hba-tape
TAPE_DEVICE
Character special file (node name)
of the tape device to be tested.
TAPE_DENSITY_CODE
Density of the tape device being tested.
Values for each device type are:
QIC tape
SCSI-2 density code
QIC-11
4
QIC-24
5
QIC-120
15
QIC-150
16
QIC-320
17
QIC-1350
18
ERASE_IMMEDIATE_BIT
Set to 1 if the erase option is supported
in the background.
SKIP_FM_BACK
Set to 1 if skipping file marks backward is supported.
SKIP_BLK_BACK
Set to 1 if skipping blocks backward is supported.
