5.2.4 Loading the Supervisor On-Line from the System Disk
To load and execute the diagnostic supervisor
in
the on-line mode (with VMS) from the system disk,
perform the following procedures:
I.
In response to the VMS prompt, type the following command to set default to the directory
containing the diagnostic supervisor program
(ENSAA.EXE):
S
SET
DEFAULT
SYSSMAINTENANCE
2.
Type the following command to load and execute the diagnostic supervisor:
S RUN
ENSAA
When the diagnostic supervisor starts, it prints the following message:
DIAGNOSTIC
SUPERVISOR.
ZZ-ENSAA-x.x-xxx

5.3 LOADING
THE
DIAGNOSTIC
SUPERVISOR
THROUGH
THE
SECONDARY LOAD
PATH
If the diagnostic supervisor cannot be booted from the distribution or system disk, use the secondary load
path
(TU58 tape drive) to load programs which test the hardware
in
the primary load path. These
programs are called load path diagnostics.
Digital
Equipment
Corporation
supplies load
path
diagnostics for the
VAX-ll/730
on
the following
TU58 cassette tapes:
• VAX
11
HARDCORE
INSTR
(TU58 #7)
•
11725/730
DIAG
SUPER
(TU58 #35)
• VAX
725/730
IDC DIAG (TU58 #39)
• VAX UDA50 SUBSYSTEMS (TU58 #44)
TU58 tape cartridge #7, labeled VAX
11
HARDCORE
INSTR,
is
inserted into a TU58 tape drive and
the level 4 diagnostic (EVKAA.EXE)
is
loaded and executed using the console command language. This
diagnostic program functionally verifies the kernel instruction set used by the diagnostic supervisor.
If
the
level 4 diagnostic program executes without error, the diagnostic supervisor
(ENSAA.EXE)
is
loaded and
executed from the
TU58 tape cartridge #35, labeled 11725/730 DIAG
SUPER.
The functional integrity
of the disk controller (lDC or
UDA50) and its attached disk drives are then tested with the disk subsystem
diagnostic programs which reside on
TU58 tape cartridge #39, labeled VAX
725/730
IDC DIAG and on
TU58 tape cartridge #44, labeled VAX UDA50 SUBSYSTEMS.
For the IDC disk drive subsystem the
TU58
tape cartridge labeled VAX
725/730
IDC DIAG (TU58 #39)
would be used. The diagnostic programs on
that
cartridge are listed
in
Table 5-1.
For the
UDA50 disk drive subsystem the
TU58
tape cartridge labeled VAX UDA50 SUBSYSTEMS
(TU58
#44) would be used. The diagnostic programs on that cartridge are listed
in
Table 5-2.
