STM Online Help: mstm Online Help (menu interface)

You enter the path (i.e., directory) and filename of the configuration file to which you wish to save the

current configuration. You may specify wild cards (file filters), if you wish. For example, you might enter

the following: "/users/username/*.stm". Once you hit "Return", you will see all the "/users/username"

directories on the system displayed in the "Directories" screen display area; similarly, all files with a

".stm" extension will be displayed in the "Files" screen display area. Select the configuration file you want

by moving the cursor to the appropriate directory and hitting "Return"; then move the cursor to the

appropriate file and hit "Return".

Hit "OK" and the current configuration will be saved to that file.

Record Cmd File

By using this function, you can record the functions executed by the interface in a file you specify, or you

can toggle recording off. mstm operations are recorded as a series of cstm (command line interface of the

Support Tools Manager) functions which can be read by:

the Run Cmd File function

the -f initiation option, or

automatically from the .stmrc file.

A wait function is automatically inserted after each identify, verify, exercise, or diagnose operation, so that

operations executed sequentially at the time of recording, won't attempt simultaneous execution at

playback time. You may wish to edit the output file and remove some of these wait functions.

Description

The information you enter here will be saved as a comment in the command file.

For example, you might enter something like the following: "This command file verifies the disks and

tapes."
