SRM Command Description Conventions
Convention

Meaning

fixed-font

ASM command examples are shown in a small fixed-width
font.
Command and option keywords are presented in bold type.
Italics indicate a placeholder for an item that the user supplies.
Square brackets are used to enclose optional parameters,
qualifiers, and values. For example, help [topic].
Braces containing items separated by commas imply mutually
exclusive values. For example {a, b, c} indicates that you can
choose one of a, b, or c.
Braces containing items separated by the vertical bar indicate
that you can choose any combination of a, b, and c.

Special Characters for the SRM Console
Character

Function

Return or Enter

Terminates a command line. No action is taken on a
command until it is terminated.
Continues a command on the next line. Must be the last
character on the line to be continued.
Deletes the previous character.
Toggles between insertion/overstrike mode. The default is
overstrike.
Recalls previous command(s). The last 16 commands are
stored in the recall buffer.
Terminates the running process. Clears Ctrl/S; resumes
output suspended by Ctrl/O. When entered as part of a
command line, deletes the current line. Ctrl/C has no effect
as part of a binary data stream.
Moves the cursor left one position.
Moves the cursor to end of line.
Moves the cursor right one position.
Moves the cursor to beginning of the line.
Deletes the previous word.
Deletes one character.
Stops output to console terminal for current command.
Toggles between enable and disable. The output can be
reenabled by other means as well: when the console
prompts for a command, issues an error message, or enters
program mode, or when Ctrl/P is entered.
Ignored in SRM mode. In program mode, on the OpenVMS
operating system, causes the boot processor to halt and
begin running the SRM console program.
Resumes output to the console terminal that was
suspended by Ctrl/S.
Redisplays the current line. Deleted characters are omitted.
This command is useful for hardcopy terminals.
Suspends output to the console terminal until Ctrl/Q is
entered. Cleared by Ctrl/C.
Deletes the current line.
Wildcarding for certain commands such as show.
Double quotes let you denote a string for assignment as an
environment variable name.
Specifies that all text between it and the end of the line is a
comment. Control characters are not considered part of a
comment.

SRM Command Notation Formats
Parameter

Attribute or Action

Length

Up to 255 characters, not including the terminating carriage return or any
characters deleted as the command is entered. To enter a command longer
than 80 characters, use the backslash character for line continuation.
Upper- or lowercase characters can be used for input. Characters are
displayed in the case in which they are entered.
Only by dropping characters from the end of words. You must enter the
minimum number of characters to identify the keyword unambiguously.
Abbreviation of environment variables is allowed with the show command.
You can use command options, to modify the environment, after the command
keyword or after any symbol or number in the command. See individual
command descriptions for examples.
Most numbers are decimal. Addresses and numbers used with the deposit
command are hexadecimal.
A command line with no characters is a null command. The console program
takes no action and does not issue an error message; it returns the console
prompt. The SRM console supports command-line recall (using the up and
down arrow keys) and editing, including use of the right and left arrow keys.
Multiple adjacent spaces and tabs are compressed and treated as a single
space. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.

Storage adapter ID One-letter designator of storage adapter (a, b, c…).
Device unit number Unique number (MSCP unit number). SCSI unit numbers are forced
to 100 X node ID.
Bus node number
Bus node ID.
Channel number
Used for multichannel devices.
Bus/slot number
The logical PCI slot number.
Hose number
The hose number assigned by the firmware.

Redirecting Output
With the lengthy output provided by some of the commands, it may be useful to direct output to a
file that can be examined with the cat or more command. You can direct the output of a
command into a file using the output operator “>”. For example:
P00>>> show config > cfgtemp
P00>>> more cfgtemp
[first screen of show config output]
P00>>>

I/O Pipes
A pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated by the pipe operator “|”. The
output of each command with the exception of the last command is used as input to the next
command. For example, to locate SCSI devices in a system, pipe the output of the show device
command into the grep command:
P00>>> show device | grep dk
dka0.0.0.1.0
dkb0.0.0.7.1
dkb100.1.0.7.1
dkb200.2.0.7.1

Background Operator
The background operator “&” is used at the end of the command line to execute command
sequences in the background as a separate process. This is especially useful when starting
concurrent tests or exercisers on the system. For example:
P00>>> memtest –sa 2000000 –ea 3000000 –p 0 &
P00>>> show_status
ID
Program
Device
Pass
Hard/Soft Bytes Written
Bytes Read
------------------------- --------- ----------------------

This operator also is used to run a command on another CPU. The syntax is &Pn, where n is the
ID of the target CPU.

Comment (#)
A comment can be introduced using the # symbol. The entire text following the # and before Return is
ignored.

Example
P00>>>#this is a
comment
P00>>>

Nvram Script
The system comes with a script (set of commands) named “nvram” that is stored in EEROM.
Nvram is a power-up script that is always invoked during the power-up sequence. Use the SRM
edit command to create or alter the nvram script.

Description
You can create an nvram script with any commands you want the system to execute at power-up.
You create and edit the nvram script using the SRM edit command.
In the examples, an environment variable called mopv3_boot is created and set to 1 on each
power-up. By default, MOP boots send four MOP V4 requests before defaulting to MOP V3. This
user-created environment variable forces the SRM console to bypass MOP V4 requests. This
speeds up MOP booting on networks with MOP V3 software.
CAUTION: An inappropriate command can disable the system. For example, the init command
will cause the system to go into an endless loop. To correct this error, issue the server
management CLI halt in command, then power up or reset the system. When the P00>>>
prompt is displayed, edit the nvram script to remove the illegal command.

Example
P00>>>edit nvram
editing ‘nvram’
0 bytes read in
*10 set mopv3_boot 1
*^Z
17 bytes written out to
nvram
P00>>>cat nvram
set mopv3_boot 1
P00>>>

SRM Command Language Environment Variables
An environment variable is a name and value association maintained by the console program.
The value associated with an environment variable is an ASCII string (up to 127 characters in
length) or an integer. Some environment variables can be set to tailor the recovery behavior of
the system on power-up and after system failures.
Volatile environment variables are initialized to their default by a system reset. Nonvolatile
environment variables stay set across system power cycles.
Environment variables can be created, modified, displayed, and deleted using the SRM
commands create, set, show, and clear. A default value is associated with any variable that is
stored in the EEPROM area.

bash
Exercisor for the CPU interprocessor ports. It is designed to saturate the N,S,E, and W port
on each CPU in an AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Platform by simultaneously moving data
from one region of memory on a remote CPU to another. By default, the exerciser tests all
ports of each CPU.

Syntax
bash [-i <iterations>] [-s <memory block size>] [-n <neighbor_cpu:master_cpu>]

Options
-i <iterations
-s <memory_block_size>
-n <neighbor_cpu:master_cpu>

Number of times to copy memory block across a link, in
thousands. Defaults to 16 (16,000).
Size of memory block to be copied across a link, in
megabytes. Defaults to 1024 (1Gb).
To exercise a specific link. <master_cpu> specifies the
id of the CPU that copies the memory block targeting the
CPU whose id is specified by <neighbor_cpu>.

Arguments
None

Example
P00>>>bash
bash: Number of IP exerciser processes = 32
P00>>>

boot
Boots the supported operating systems and the Loadable Firmware Update (LFU)
utility.

Syntax
b[oot] [-file filename] [-flags [value]] [-halt] [-protocols enet_protocol] [boot_dev]

Options
-file filename

-flags [value]

-halt

protocols enet_protocol

Specifies the name of the file to load into the system. Use
the set boot_file command to set a default bootfile.
NOTE: For booting from Ethernet, the filename is limited
by the MOP V3 load protocol to 15 characters. The MOP
protocol is used with OpenVMS systems.
Provides additional operating system-specific boot
information. In Tru64 UNIX, specifies boot flags. In
OpenVMS, specifies the system root number and boot
flags. Preset default boot flag values are 0,0. Use the set
boot_osflags command to change the default boot flag
values.
Forces the bootstrap operation to halt and invoke the SRM
console program. The console is invoked after the
bootstrap image is loaded and page tables and other data
structures are set up. Console device drivers are not shut
down. Transfer control to the bootstrap image by entering
the continue command.
Specifies the Ethernet protocol to be used for the network
boot. Either mop (for OpenVMS) or bootp (for Tru64
UNIX) may be specified. Use the set_ew*0_protocols
command to set a default network boot protocol.

Arguments
boot_dev

A device path or list of devices from which the SRM console program attempts to
boot. Use the set bootdef_dev command to set a default boot device.

Entering values for boot flags, the boot device name, or Ethernet protocol with the boot
command overrides the current default value for the current boot request, but does not change
the corresponding environment variable. For example, if you have defined a value for
boot_osflags and you specify the –flags option on the boot command line, the –flags argument
takes precedence for that boot session.

Example
P00>>>b -fl a dka0

The data deposited is a byte (8 bits).
The data deposited is a word (16 bits).
The data deposited is a longword (32 bits).
The data deposited is a quadword (64 bits). This is the default.
The data deposited is an octaword (128 bits).
The data deposited is a hexword (256 bits).
The address space is general-purpose registers.
The address space is internal processor registers.
The address space is floating-point registers.
The address space is physical memory.
The address space is virtual memory.
The address will be incremented count (hex) times.
The increment size (hex). Normally this defaults to the data size, but is
overriden by the presence of this qualifier. This option must be specified each
time; it does not apply to following deposit or examine commands.

Arguments
device:

The optional device name (or address space) selects the device to access.
Possible values are:
pmem:
Physical memory
vmem:
Virtual memory. All access and protection checking occur. If
the access would not be allowed to a program with the current
PS, the SRM console issues an error message. If memory
mapping is not enabled, virtual adressses are equal to
physical addresses.

or examine command. For physical and virtual memory, the referenced
location is the last location plus the size of the reference (1 for byte, 2 for
word, etc.) For other address spaces, the address is the last referenced
address plus 1.
The location immediately preceding the last location referenced in a deposit
or examine command. Memory and other address spaces are handled as
above.
The last location referenced in a deposit or examine command.
The location address by the last location referenced in a deposit or
examine command.

Example
The deposit command deposits four quadwords (the original deposit plus three
increments) with the value a5a5a5a5 in physical memory beginning at location 0.
The examine command requests the display of 11 (hexadecimal) quadwords of
physical memory beginning at location 0 and incrementing this address 10
(hexadecimal) times. The value a5a5a5a5 has been stored in the first four memory
locations, as the display shows.

edit
The system comes with a nonvolatile file named “nvram” that is stored in EEROM on the
standard I/O module. The nvram file is a user-created power-up script (set of commands) that is
always invoked during the power-up sequence. Use the edit command to create or alter the
nvram script.

Syntax
edit file

Options
None

Argument
file

The name of the file to be edited. Most commonly used to
create and edit the file named nvram.

Description
You can create an nvram script to include any commands you want the system to execute at
power-up. You create and edit the nvram script using the SRM edit command. With edit, lines
may be added, overwritten, or deleted. To clear the script, enter the existing line numbers without
any text. This deletes the lines.
Once you issue the edit command, the editor displays informative messages and displays an
asterisk prompt (*). You can then use the following commands:
help
Displays the brief help file.
list
Displays the current file prefixed with line numbers.
renumbe Renumbers the lines of the file in increments of 10.
r
exit
Leaves the editor and closes the file, saving all
changes.
quit
Leaves the editor and closes the file without saving
changes.
nn
Deletes line number nn.
nn text
Adds or overwrites line number nn with the specified
text.

Example
P00>>>edit foo
editing ‘foo’
16 bytes read in
*10 echo hello world
*^Z
17 bytes written out to foo
P00>>>cat foo
echo hello world
P00>>>
CAUTION: An inappropriate command in the nvram script can disable the system. For example,
the init command will cause the system to go into an endless loop.
To correct this error, press the Halt button during power-up. When the Pnn>>>
prompt is displayed, edit the script to remove the improper command.

exer
Exercises one or more devices by performing specified read, write, and compare
operations. Advanced users may want to use the specific options described here.
CAUTION: Running exer on disks can destroy data on the disks.

Syntax
exer

[-sb start_block] [-eb end_block] [-p pass_count] [-l blocks]
[-bs block_size] [-bc blocks_per_io][-d1 buf1_string]
[-d2 buf2_string][-a action_string] [-sec seconds] [-m] [-v]
[-delay millisecs] device_name

Options
-sb start_block

Specifies the starting block number (hex) within the filestream.
The default is 0.
-eb end_block
Specifies the ending block number (hex) within the filestream. The
default is 0.
-p pass_count
Specifies the number of passes to run the exerciser. If 0, then run
forever or until Ctrl/C. The default is 1.
-l blocks
Specifies the number of blocks (hex) to exercise. The option l has
precedence over eb. If only reading, then not using either –l nor –
eb defaults to read until end-of-file. If writing, and neither –l or –eb
are specified, then exer will write for the size of device. The
default for blocks is 1.
-bs block_size
Specifies the block size (hex) in bytes. The default is 200 (hex).
-bc blocks_per_io Specifies the number of blocks (hex) for each I/O operation. On
devices without length (tape), use the specified pack size or
default to 2048. The maximum block size allowed with variablelength block reads is 2048 bytes. Default = 1.
-d1 buf1_string
String argument for eval to generate buffer 1 data pattern from.
Buffer 1 is initialized only once before any I/O occurs. Default = all
bytes set to hex 5As.
-d2 buf2_string
String argument for eval to generate buffer 2 data pattern from.
Buffer 2 is initialized only once before any I/O occurs. Default = all
bytes set to hex 5As.
-a action_string
Specifies an exerciser action string that determines the sequence
of reads, writes, and compares to various buffers. The default
action string is ?r. The action string characters are:
r
Read into buffer 1
w
Write from buffer 1
R
Read into buffer 2
W
Write from buffer 2
n
Write without lock from buffer 1
N
Write without lock from buffer 2
c
Compare buffer1 with buffer 2
Seek to file offset prior to last read or write

-sec seconds

-m
-v

-delay millisecs

Seek to a random block offset within the specified range of
blocks. exer calls the program, random, to “deal” each one
of a set of numbers once. exer chooses a set that is a
power of two and is greater than or equal to the block range.
Each call to random results in a number that is then mapped
to the set of numbers that are in the block range and exer
seeks to that location in the filestream. Since exer starts
with the same random number seed, the set of random
numbers generated will always be over the same set of
block range numbers.
Sleep for a number of milliseconds specified by the delay
s
qualifier. If no delay qualifier is present, sleep for 1
millisecond. Note: Times as reported in verbose mode will
not necessarily be accurate when this action character is
used.
z
Zero buffer 1
Z
Zero buffer 2
b
Add constant to buffer 1
B
Add constant to buffer 2
Specifies termination of the exercise after the number of seconds
have elapsed. By default, the exerciser continues until the
specified number of blocks of passes are processed.
Specifies metric mode. At the end of the exercise, a total
throughput line is displayed.
Specifies verbose mode. Data read is also written to the standard
output. This is not applicable on writes or compares. The default
is verbose mode off.
Specifies the number of milliseconds to delay when “s” appears as
a character in the action string.

Description
The exer command reports performance statistics:
• A read operation reads from a specified device into a buffer.
• A write operation writes from a buffer to a specified device.
• A compare operation compares the contents of the two buffers.
• The exer command uses two buffers, buffer 1 and buffer 2, to carry out the operations. A
read or write operation can be performed using either buffer. A compare operation uses
both buffers.

Examples
Example descriptions (in sequence):
1. Reads all SCSI type disks for the entire length of each disk. Repeat this until 36000
seconds (10 hours) have elapsed. All disks will be read concurrently. Each block
read will occur at a random block number on each disk
2. Read block number 0 and 1 from device dkb0.
3. Write hex 5As to every byte of blocks 1, 2, and 3 of dka100. The packet size is bc
times bs, or 4 times 512, or 2048 for all writes.
4. A destructive write test over block numbers 0 through 100 on disk dkb0. The packet
size is 2048 bytes. The action string specifies the following sequence of operations:
• Set the current block address to a random block number on the disk
between 0 and 97. A four-block packet, starting at block numbers 98, 99,
or 100 would access blocks beyond the end of the length to be processed,
so 97 is the largest possible starting block address of a packet.
• Write a packet of hex 5As from buffer1 to the current block address.

•

Set the current block address to what it was just prior to the previous write
operation.
• From the current block address, read a packet into buffer2.
• Compare buffer1 with buffer2 and report any discrepancies.
• Repeats steps 1 through 5 until enough packets have been written to
satisfy the length requirement of 101 blocks.
6. A nondestructive write test with packet size of 512 bytes. The action string specifies
the following sequence of operations:
• Set the current block address to a random block number on the disk.
• From the current block address on the disk, read a packet into buffer1.
• Set the current block address to the device address where it was just
before the previous read operation occurred.
• Write a packet of hex 5As from buffer1 to the current block address.
• Set the current block address to what it was just prior to the previous write
operation.
• From the current block address on the disk, read a packet into buffer2.
• Compare buffer1 with buffer2 and report any discrepancies.
• Repeat the above steps until each block on the disk has been written once
and read twice.

grep
The grep command is very similar to the UNIX grep command. It searches the
named files for the expression and prints any lines that match. Grep works only on
ASCII files.

Syntax
grep [ - {c | i | n | v |}], [-f file] [expression] [file..]

Options
-c
Prints only the number of lines matched.
-i
Ignores case in the search. By default, grep is case sensitive.
-n
Prints the line numbers of the matching lines.
-v
Prints all the lines that do not contain the expression.
-f file Takes the regular expressions from the named file, instead of the command.

Arguments
expression

file…

Specifies the target regular expression. If any metacharacters are
present, the expression should be enclosed with quotes so the
metacharacters will not be confused with characters to be searched for.
The metacharacters are:
^
Matches the beginning of line
$
Matches the end of line
.
Matches any single character
[]
Set of characters; [ABC] matches either ‘A’ or ‘B’ or ‘C’. A dash
(other than first or last of the set) denotes a range of characters.
For example [A-Z] matches any uppercase letter. If the first
character of the set is ‘^’, then the sense of the match is reversed.
For example, [^0-9] matches any non-digit. Several characters
need to be quoted with backslash (\) if they occur in a set: ‘\’, ‘]’ ‘-‘,
and ‘^.
*
Repeated matching. When placed after a pattern, indicates that
the pattern should match any number of times. For example, ‘a[az][0-9]*’ matches a lowercase letter followed by zero or more
digits.
+
Repeated matching. When placed after a pattern, indicates that
the pattern should mach one or more times. For example, ‘[0-9]+’
matches any non-empty sequence of digits.
?
Optional matching. Indicates that the patern can match zero or
one times. For example, ‘[a-z][0-9]?’ matches lowercase letter
alone or followed by a single digit.
\
Quote character. Prevents the character that follows from having
special meaning.
Specifies the file(s) to be searched. If none are present, then the
standard input is searched.

kill
Kills a process that is running on the system. This is useful for stopping exercisers that may be
running. First, use the show_status or ps command to get the process ID. Then use the kill
command specifying that process ID.

Syntax
kill process_id

Options
None

Arguments
None

Example
1. The user types the show_status command to show the status of any background
processes. Process 123 is shown as a memory exerciser.
2. The user issues the kill 123 command to terminate the execution of the memory
exerciser.
3. The show_status command confirms that the memory exerciser is no longer running.

memexer
Tests the memory on thesystem, using a Gray code memory exerciser. The program randomly
allocates and tests blocks of memory two times the size of the B-cache using all available
memory. The memexer command automatically does testing in background mode without
using the &.

Syntax
memexer [n]

Options
None

Argument
n

Specifies the number of memory test processes to start. The default is l.

Example
P00>>>memexer
memtest -bs 1c0000 -rb -p 0 &
memtest -sa 400074000 -ea 440000000 -z -p 0 &

P00>>>

memexer_mp
Invokes pairs of Gray code memory exercisers on a multiprocessor system. The exercisers are
run in the background. This command exercises the ability of CPUs to share data and remain
coherent.

Syntax
memexer_mp

Options
None

Arguments
None

Description
The memexer_mp command starts a copy of memexer on each CPU, testing a different
longword in a cache block. Since there are 16 longwords in a cache block, at most 16 memexers
are started. The first memexer runs on CPUs 0 and 16 (if they exist), the second, on CPUs 1 and
17 (if they exist), the third, on CPUs 2 and 18 (if they exist), and so on.
NOTE: Do not call memexer_mp multiple times, as you will get a stream of data compare errors.
Two copies of each exerciser will be touching the same areas in memory, but they are not
synchronized.

Example
P00>>>memexer_mp
memtest -t 1 -sa B64020 -i 8 -l 1C0000 -p 0 -z &p0 &
memtest -t 1 -sa B64024 -i 8 -l 1C0000 -p 0 -z &p1 &
memtest -t 1 -sa B64028 -i 8 -l 1C0000 -p 0 -z &p2 &
memtest -t 1 -sa B6402C -i 8 -l 1C0000 -p 0 -z &p3 &

Specifies the number of passes for the diagnostic. If 0, then run forever.
The default is 1. Each pass will send the number of loop messages as
set by the environment variable ewa*_loop_count (Tulip driver) or
ela*_loop_count (Intel Ethernet controller driver). Note that this is the
number of passes for the diagnostic. Each pass will send the number of
loop messages as set by the environment variable ew*n_loop_count or
ei*n_loop_count.
Specifies the MOP (maintenance operations protocol) version to use. If
3, then MOP V3 (DECnet Phase IV) packet format is used. If 4, then
MOP V4 (DECnet Phase V IEEE 802.3) format is used.
Specifies the time, in seconds, allowed for the loop messages to be
returned. The default is 2 seconds.
Specifies the time, in seconds, to wait between passes of the test. The
default is 0 (no delay). The network device can be very CPU intensive.
This option will allow other processes to run.

and VGA.

Syntax
sys_exer [ -t runtime ]

Options
None

Arguments
-t n

Specifies the time, in seconds, that the exerciser is to run. A prompt will not be displayed
until the time has expired and the kill_diags script has completed. The default is 0, run
forever.

Description
All tests run concurrently for the run time specified (default is forever). The sys_exer command
can be run as either a background or foreground process.
Use the set command to establish parameters, such as whether to halt, loop, or continue on
error, as described in the AlphaServer GS80/160/320 Service Manual. The passcount
environment variable, d_passes, is ignored by sys_exer.
