FServSoak
Select ‗S‘ from FServMenu. This invokes FServSoak, the FileStore soak test program and
displays the following menu:
Soak test discs
A View activities
B Begin testing
E End testing
F File error log
H Help, print this message
L Load parameters
M Modify parameters
Q Quit
S Save parameters to disc
T View test in progress
? View error log
Using the options from the above menu, you can test any combination of discs on a FileStore
unit and control the execution of the soak test.
FServSoak does not use the ‗current disc‘ that the other programs use. Instead, it provides a
list of ‗activities‘, which may be examined with the ‗View activities‘ (‗A‘) option from the
secondary menu. The active activities use executed cyclically, and may be changed with
‗Modify parameters‘ (‗M‘).
The current statue of the parameters (that is, whether or not they are active) may be saved and
loaded on disc, using the options ‗S‘ and ‗L‘ respectively. The initial settings are read from a
file called P1, which enables tests ‗Net GdLne IntCk‘ (network test with a good line using the
FileStore clock) and ‗Gen Net Comm‘ (general network communications) only. Note that, if
any of the disc tests are started, then the data on those discs will be destroyed.
