Format

SHOW UNWIND [address | /ALL | /IMAGE=name ]


Parameter

address

Address of the program counter (PC) (IIP) whose unwind data is to be displayed. The address can be in system space or process space.

Qualifier

/ALL

Displays the details of every system unwind descriptor.

/IMAGE

Displays the details of every unwind descriptor for the specified system images (wildcards allowed).

Description

Displays the master unwind table for system space. This is the default. If /ALL is given, the details of every system unwind descriptor are displayed. If an address is given, the unwind descriptor for the program counter (PC) (IIP) is located and displayed. The address can be in system space or process space.

SHOW VHPT (Integrity servers Only)

Displays data from the Virtual Hash Page Table.

Format

SHOW VHPT [ /CPU = {n|*} [/ALL] [range] ]


Parameters

range

The entry or range of entries to be displayed, expressed using the following syntax:
m Displays the VHPT entry m
m:n Displays the VHPT entries from m to n
m;n Displays n VHPT entries starting at m

A range can be provided only if a single CPU is specified with the /CPU qualifier.


Qualifiers

/CPU = {n|*}

Indicates that the detailed contents of the VHPT for one or all CPUs is to be displayed. The default action is for a summary of VHPT information to be displayed.

/ALL

Displays all VHPTs for the specified CPUs. Without /ALL, only entries that have a valid tag are displayed.

Description

Displays contents of the Virtual Hash Page Table on an OpenVMS Integrity server system. By default, a summary of the VHPT entries is displayed. If CPUs are specified, details of individual VHPT entries are displayed for the CPUs. If a single CPU is specified, specific VHPT entries for that CPU are displayed.

In the detailed display, the columns are as follows:

Table 4-33 VHPT Fields
Column Contents
Entry VHPT Entry Number
Bits One or more of the following flags:
P---Present
A---Accessed
D---Dirty

I---Tag invalid (only seen if /ALL is specified)
MA One of the following memory attributes:
WB---Write Back
UC---Uncacheable
UCE---Uncacheable Exported
WC---Write Coalescing
NaT---NaTPage
AR/PL The access rights and privilege level of the page. Consists of a number (0-7) and a letter (K, E, S, or U) that determines access to the page in each mode.
KESU The access allowed to the page in each mode. This is an interpretation of the AR/PL values in the previous column. For an explanation of the access codes, refer to Section 2.8.
Physical address The starting physical address for this VHPT entry.
Page size The size of the page represented by this VHPT entry. Page sizes for VHPT entries range from 4KB to 4GB. Not all possible pages sizes are used by OpenVMS for Integrity servers.
Tag The translation tag for the VHPT entry.
Quad4 Information recorded by OpenVMS for Integrity servers for debugging purposes. The contents of this quadword are subject to change.

SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST

Displays the system working set list without changing the current process context. You can specify SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST or SHOW WSL. The two commands are equivalent.

Format

SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST [/ALL (d) | /ENTRY=n | /GPT
| /LOCKED | /MODIFIED | /SYSTEM]

SHOW WSL [/ALL (d) | /ENTRY=n | /GPT
| /LOCKED | /MODIFIED | /SYSTEM]


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Displays all working set list entries. This is the default.

/ENTRY=n

Displays a specific working set entry, where n is the working set list index (WSLX) of the entry of interest.

/GPT

Displays working set list entries only for global page table pages.

/LOCKED

Displays working set list entries only for pageable system pages that are locked in the system working set.

/MODIFIED

Displays working set list entries only for pageable system pages that are marked modified.

/SYSTEM

Displays working set list entries only for pageable system pages.

Description

The SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST command displays the contents of requested entries in the system working set list. The SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST command is equivalent to the SHOW PROCESS/SYSTEM/WORKING_SET_LIST command, but the SDA current process context returns to the prior process upon completion. See the SHOW PROCESS command and Table 4-21 for more information.

SHOW WSL

See SHOW WORKING_SET_LIST.

SPAWN

Creates a subprocess of the process currently running SDA, copying the context of the current process to the subprocess and, optionally, executing a specified command within the subprocess.

Format

SPAWN [/qualifier[,...]] [command]


Parameter

command

Name of the command that you want the subprocess to execute.

Qualifiers

/INPUT=filespec

Specifies an input file containing one or more command strings to be executed by the spawned subprocess. If you specify a command string with an input file, the command string is processed before the commands in the input file. When processing is complete, the subprocess is terminated.

/NOLOGICAL_NAMES

Specifies that the logical names of the parent process are not to be copied to the subprocess. The default behavior is that the logical names of the parent process are copied to the subprocess.

/NOSYMBOLS

Specifies that the DCL global and local symbols of the parent process are not to be passed to the subprocess. The default behavior is that these symbols are passed to the subprocess.

/NOTIFY

Specifies that a message is to be broadcast to SYS$OUTPUT when the subprocess either completes processing or aborts. The default behavior is that such a message is not sent to SYS$OUTPUT.

/NOWAIT

Specifies that the system is not to wait until the subprocess is completed before allowing more commands to be entered. This qualifier allows you to input new SDA commands while the spawned subprocess is running. If you specify /NOWAIT, use /OUTPUT to direct the output of the subprocess to a file to prevent more than one process from simultaneously using your terminal.

The default behavior is that the system waits until the subprocess is completed before allowing more SDA commands to be entered.

/OUTPUT=filespec

Specifies an output file to which the results of the SPAWN operation are written. To prevent output from the spawned subprocess from being displayed while you are specifying new commands, specify an output other than SYS$OUTPUT whenever you specify /NOWAIT. If you omit the /OUTPUT qualifier, output is written to the current SYS$OUTPUT device.

/PROCESS=process-name

Specifies the name of the subprocess to be created. The default name of the subprocess is USERNAME_n, where USERNAME is the user name of the parent process. The variable n represents the subprocess number.

Example


SDA>  SPAWN
$  MAIL
   .
   .
   .
$  DIR
   .
   .
   .
$  LO
   Process SYSTEM_1 logged out at 5-JAN-1993 15:42:23.59
SDA> 
      

This example uses the SPAWN command to create a subprocess that issues DCL commands to invoke the Mail utility. The subprocess then lists the contents of a directory before logging out to return to the parent process executing SDA.


UNDEFINE

Removes the specified symbol from SDA's symbol table.

Format

UNDEFINE symbol


Parameter

symbol

The name of the symbol to be deleted from SDA's symbol table. A symbol name is required. Symbols that include lowercase letters must be enclosed in quotation marks.

Qualifiers

None.

VALIDATE PFN_LIST

Validates that the page counts on lists are correct.

Format

VALIDATE PFN_LIST {/ALL (d) | [/BAD | /FREE | /MODIFIED | /PRIVATE | /UNTESTED | /ZERO]}


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Validates all the PFN lists: bad, free, modified, untested, zeroed free pages, and private pages.

/BAD

Validates the bad page list.

/FREE

Validates the free page list.

/MODIFIED

Validates the modified page list.

/PRIVATE

Validates all private page lists.

/UNTESTED

Validates the untested page list that was set up for deferred memory testing.

/ZERO

Validates the zeroed free page list.

Description

The VALIDATE PFN_LIST command validates the specified PFN list by counting the number of entries in the list and comparing that to the running count of entries for each list maintained by the system.

Examples

#1

SDA> VALIDATE PFN_LIST
Free page list validated: 1433 pages 
        (excluding zeroed free page list with expected size 103 pages) 
Zeroed free page list validated: 103 pages 
Modified page list validated: 55 pages 
Bad page list validated: 0 pages 
Untested page list validated: 0 pages 
Private page list at 81486340 validated: 2 pages
      

This example shows the default behavior of VALIDATE PFN_LIST, checking all lists.

#2

SDA> VALIDATE PFN_LIST/FREE
Free page list validated: 1433 pages 
        (excluding zeroed free page list with expected size 103 pages)
 
      

This example shows the validation of only the free list.


VALIDATE POOL

Checks all free pool packets for POOLCHECK-style corruption, using the same algorithm as the system pool allocation routines when generating a POOLCHECK bugcheck and system dump.

Format

VALIDATE POOL { /ALL (d) | /BAP | /NONPAGED | /PAGED } [ /HEADER | /MAXIMUM_BYTES [=n] /SUMMARY ]


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Checks free packets for all pool types (nonpaged pool, paged pool, and bus addressable pool). This is the default.

/BAP

Checks free packets in bus addressable pool.

/HEADER

Displays only the first 16 bytes of any corrupted free packets found.

/MAXIMUM_BYTES[=n]

Displays only the first n bytes of any corrupted free packets found. If you specify /MAXIMUM_BYTES without a value, the default is 64 bytes.

/NONPAGED

Checks free packets in nonpaged pool.

/PAGED

Checks free packets in paged pool.

/SUMMARY

Displays only a summary of corrupted pool packets found.

Description

The VALIDATE POOL command displays information about corrupted free pool packets. It is useful only if pool checking has been enabled using either the POOLCHECK or the SYSTEM_CHECK system parameters. (For information on these system parameters, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual or to the Sys_Parameters online help topic.)

Examples

#1

SDA>  VALIDATE POOL
Non-Paged Dynamic Storage Pool: no free packet corruption detected 
Paged Dynamic Storage Pool: no free packet corruption detected 
      

This example shows the default behavior of VALIDATE POOL, checking all dynamic storage pools.

2.


This example shows the validation of nonpaged pool only, and displays the header of the corrupted block found.


VALIDATE PROCESS

Performs validation of process data structures. Currently, the only validation available is to check free process pool packets for POOLCHECK-style corruption, using the same algorithm as the system pool allocation routines when generating a POOLCHECK bugcheck and system dump.

Format

VALIDATE PROCESS/POOL [= {P0 | P1 | IMGACT | ALL (d)} ] [/ADDRESS=pcb-address | process-name | ALL | /ID=nn | /INDEX=nn | /NEXT | /SYSTEM]
[/HEADER | /MAXIMUM_BYTES[=n] | /SUMMARY]


Parameters

ALL

Indicates that all processes in the system are to be validated.

process name

Name of the process to be validated. The process name can contain up to 15 uppercase letters, numerals, underscore (_), dollar sign ($), colon (:), and some other printable characters. If it contains any other characters (including lowercase letters), you might need to enclose the process name in quotation marks (" ").

Qualifiers

/ADDRESS = pcb address

Specifies the process control block (PCB) address of the process to be validated.

/HEADER

Displays only the first 16 bytes of any corrupted free packets found.

/ID = nn/INDEX = nn

Specifies the process to be validated by its index into the system's list of software process control blocks (PCBs), or by its process identification. You can supply the following values for nn:
  • The process index itself.
  • A process identification (PID) or extended PID longword, from which SDA extracts the correct index. The PID or extended PID of any thread of a process with multiple kernel threads can be specified. Any thread-specific data displayed by further commands is for the given thread.

To obtain these values for any given process, issue the SDA command SHOW SUMMARY/THREADS. The /ID=nn and /INDEX=nn qualifiers can be used interchangeably.

/MAXIMUM_BYTES[=n]

Displays only the first n bytes of any corrupted free packets found. If you specify /MAXIMUM_BYTES without a value, the default is 64 bytes.

/NEXT

Causes SDA to locate the next process in the process list and validate that process. If there are no further processes in the process list, SDA returns an error.

/POOL [= {P0 | P1 | IMGACT | ALL (d)} ]

(Required) Causes process pool validation to be performed. Use of a keyword on the /POOL qualifier allows the user to specify which process pool is to be validated (P0, P1, Image Activator Pool, or ALL). Default: ALL

/SUMMARY

Displays only a summary of the corrupted pool packets found.

/SYSTEM

This qualifier is provided for compatibility with SET PROCESS/SYSTEM and SHOW PROCESS/SYSTEM. There is no pool associated with the system process that can be validated. SDA sets its current process context to the system process and outputs the text:

Options ignored for System process: POOL


Description

The VALIDATE PROCESS command validates the process indicated by one of the following: process-name, the process specified in the /ID or /INDEX qualifier, the next process in the system's process list, the system process, or all processes. The VALIDATE PROCESS command performs an implicit SET PROCESS command under certain uses of its qualifiers and parameters, as noted in Section 2.5. By default, the VALIDATE PROCESS command validates the SDA current process, as defined in Section 2.5.

Currently, the only validation available is to check free pool packets for POOLCHECK-style corruption. The command is useful only if pool checking has been enabled using either the POOLCHECK or the SYSTEM_CHECK system parameters. (For information on these system parameters, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual or to the Sys_Parameters online help topic.)

If a process is specified using process-name, /ADDRESS, /ID, /INDEX, /NEXT, or /SYSTEM, that process becomes the SDA current process for future commands.


Example


This example shows the default behavior of VALIDATE PROCESS/POOL, checking all process storage pools, and displaying only the header of the corrupted block found.


VALIDATE QUEUE

Validates the integrity of the specified queue by checking the pointers in the queue.

Format

VALIDATE QUEUE [address]
[/BACKLINK | /LIST | /PHYSICAL
| /QUADWORD | /SELF_RELATIVE | /SINGLY_LINKED]


Parameter

address

Address of an element in a queue.

If you specify the period (.) as the address, SDA uses the last evaluated expression as the queue element's address.

If you do not specify an address, the VALIDATE QUEUE command determines the address from the last issued VALIDATE QUEUE command in the current SDA session.

If you do not specify an address, and no queue has previously been specified, SDA displays the following error message:


%SDA-E-NOQUEUE, no queue has been specified for validation 

Qualifiers

/BACKLINK

Allows doubly linked lists to be validated from the tail of the queue. If the queue is found to be broken when validated from the head of the queue, you can use /BACKLINK to narrow the list of corrupted entries.

/LIST

Displays the address of each element in the queue.

/PHYSICAL

Allows validation of queues whose header and links are physical addresses.

/QUADWORD

Allows the validate operation to occur on queues with linked lists of quadword addresses.

/SELF_RELATIVE

Specifies that the selected queue is a self-relative queue.

/SINGLY_LINKED

Allows validation of queues that have no backward pointers.

Description

The VALIDATE QUEUE command uses the forward and, optionally, backward pointers in each element of the queue to make sure that all such pointers are valid and that the integrity of the queue is intact. If the queue is intact, SDA displays the following message:


Queue is complete, total of n elements in the queue 
In these messages, n represents the number of entries the VALIDATE QUEUE command has found in the queue.

If SDA discovers an error in the queue, it displays one of the following error messages:


Error in forward queue linkage at address nnnnnnnn after tracing x elements 
Error comparing backward link to previous structure address (nnnnnnnn) 
Error occurred in queue element at address oooooooo after tracing pppp elements 

These messages can appear frequently when you use the VALIDATE QUEUE command within an SDA session that is analyzing a running system. In a running system, the composition of a queue can change while the command is tracing its links, thus producing an error message.

If there are no entries in the queue, SDA displays this message:


The queue is empty 

Examples

#1

SDA>  VALIDATE QUEUE/SELF_RELATIVE IOC$GQ_POSTIQ
Queue is complete, total of 159 elements in the queue
      

This example validates the self-relative queue IOC$GQ_POSTIQ. The validation is successful and the system determines that there are 159 IRPs in the list.

#2

SDA> VALIDATE QUEUE/QUADWORD FFFFFFFF80D0E6CO/LIST
Entry      Address               Flink                   Blink
-----      -------               ------                  -----
Header     FFFFFFFF80D0E6CO      FFFFFFFF80D03780        FFFFFFFF80D0E800
    1.     FFFFFFFF80D0E790      FFFFFFFF80D0E7CO        FFFFFFFF80D0E6C0
    2.     FFFFFFFF80D0E800      FFFFFFFF80D0E6C0        FFFFFFFF80D0E7C0
Queue is complete, total of 3 elements in the queue
      

This example shows the validation of quadword elements in a list.

#3

SDA> VALIDATE QUEUE/SINGLY_LINKED EXE$GL_NONPAGED+4
Queue is zero-terminated, total of 95 elements in the queue
      

This example shows the validation of singly linked elements in the queue. The forward link of the final element is zero instead of being a pointer back to the queue header.


VALIDATE SHM_CPP

Validates all the shared memory common property partitions (CPPs) and the counts and ranges of attached PFNs; optionally, it can validate the contents of the database for each PFN.

Format

VALIDATE SHM_CPP [/qualifiers]


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ADDRESS=n

Validates the counts and ranges for a single shared memory CPP given the address of the SHM_CPP structure.

/ALL

Validates all the shared memory CPPs. This is the default.

/IDENT=n

Validates the counts and ranges for a single shared memory CPP.

/PFN

Validates the PFN database contents for each attached PFN. The default is all lists (free, bad, untested) plus the PFN database pages and the complete range of PFNs in the CPP.

You can limit which lists are validated by specifying one or more keywords from the following table. If you specify multiple keywords, enclose them in parentheses and separate keywords with a comma.

ALL_FRAGMENTS Validates the complete range of PFNs in the CPP.
BAD Validates only the bad page list.
FREE Validates only the free page list.
PFNDB Validates the PFNs containing the PFN database.
UNTESTED Validates only the untested page list.

If you specify the /PFN without /ALL, /IDENT, or /ADDRESS, the system validates the PFN lists from the last shared memory CPP.


Example


SDA> VALIDATE SHM_CPP
Not validating SHM_CPP 0000 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BA140, VALID flag clear 
 
Not validating SHM_CPP 0001 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BA380, VALID flag clear 
 
Not validating SHM_CPP 0002 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BA5C0, VALID flag clear 
 
Validating SHM_CPP 0003 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BA800 ... 
 
    Validating counts and ranges in the free page list ... 
    ... o.k. 
 
    Not validating the bad page list, list is empty 
 
    Not validating the untested page list, list is empty 
 
Not validating SHM_CPP 0004 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BAA40, VALID flag clear 
 
Not validating SHM_CPP 0005 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BAC80, VALID flag clear 
 
Not validating SHM_CPP 0006 at FFFFFFFF.7F2BAEC0, VALID flag clear
 
      

This example shows the default output for the VALIDATE SHM_CPP command.


VALIDATE TQEIDX

Validates all the data structures associated with timer queue entry index (TQEIDX) structures.

Format

VALIDATE TQEIDX


Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

Description

TQEs are linked together with index blocks that point to TQEs or to another level of index block. VALIDATE TQEIDX checks that all the index blocks are correctly linked together.

Example


SDA> VALIDATE TQEIDX
Validating time index buckets... 
    ... o.k. 
Validating ID index buckets... 
    ... o.k. 
Validating 1st time... 
    ... o.k. 
Validating counts... 
    ... o.k.
      

This example shows the output from a successful VALIDATE TQEIDX command.


WAIT

Causes SDA to wait for the specified length of time.

Format

WAIT [wait-time]


Parameters

wait-time

The wait time is given as a delta time: [[hh:]mm:]ss[.t[h]]. If omitted, the default wait time is one second.

Qualifiers

None.

Description

The WAIT command can be used in command procedures such as scripts collecting performance data. See Chapter 8 for a sample procedure.

Example


SDA> WAIT 00:00:15
      

SDA waits 15 seconds before accepting the next command.
