Table 5–3 Five-Level VAXsimPLUS Monitor Screen Displays
Level Explanation
1. System The system level screen provides one box for each system
being analyzed (in Figure 5–9 a single system is being
analyzed). As with each screen level, the number of
reported errors is displayed in the box. The boxes blink
when the hard error thresholds are reached; the boxes are
highlighted when the soft error thresholds are reached.
2. Subsystem The subsystem level screen provides separate boxes for
the kernel and node information. Other boxes that may be
displayed are bus, disk, tape, etc.
3. Unit The unit level screen provides a box for the kernel. If the
subsystem has more than one unit or device with errors,
those will be displayed as well.
4. Error Class The error class level screen provides a box for both hard and
soft errors.
5. Error Detail Two error detail level screens (hard and soft) provide
the number of reported errors along with a brief error
description.
