| > Is SWEAT available for V3.0Z?
Yup...I'm still adding bits to it (Host based Raid and new
controller support), but the latest saveset is available at:-
MAJERE::DISK$PUBLIC:[PUBLIC.STORAGEWORKS.TOOLS]SWEAT030.A
...this will be updated as and when I get time.

Hello all,
Sweat030 is ok with HSOF V3.0Z,you see the device locator failed in a
stripe,mirror or raid set.
The only error that I saw is for the version.Sweat see Cronic V8.00.
Best regards.

(Chris, how about some fan-mail..... ;-)
S W E A T = Storage Works Errorlog Analyzing Tool. Created by Chris
Loane. It is MUCH better in translating Storageworks (and other SCSI
related, or better tape/disk related) errorlog entries than ANA/ERR
or DECevent. I use it all the time. Go get it, you'll love it. No
sweat.

It's the StorageWorks Errorlog Analyser Tool; a tool written to
bust out Binary Errorlog details from O'VMS systems.

| 'fraid not; I haven't figured out the Unix errorlogging
peculiarities yet. Besides which, nowadays DECevent is probably the
best bet.

| Unfortunately the decevent folks don't seem to have plans for this
anytime soon...what info do you need about errorlog entries on unix?

| If all it does is "bust out Binary Errorlog details", then
DECevent already does it. So unless it really does "analysis"
then it's probably just another bit to text translator with
some new format of output.
For example, DECevent already tells you the device locator for
any HSZ40/50/... stripe/mirror/raid/jbod related errors.
Part of the problem on VMS is that it didn't report that stuff
completely. DECevent on UNIX did, so this tool may be a no-op
for UNIX systems.

| 787.10 | SWEAT is a BTT tool. | SSDEVO::MARTENS | Qualification Program Manager | Wed Apr 02 1997 16:01 | 16 |
| Fred,
You are correct. SWEAT provides for translation of Array Controller
error log entries to a readable text format. It was required for
support of HSD and HSJ controllers on VAX systems running VMS. Since
DECevent performs the BTT (bit to text) translation on Alpha systems,
it was only a VAX tool. With DECevent on D'UNIX, there is no real
need for SWEAT in that enviroment.
I am not aware of any analysis ability of SWEAT, I do not think that
analysis will be included. If analysis is required by the field
service engineer, they should request that from the DECevent tools
group.

| > I am not aware of any analysis ability of SWEAT
SWEAT is purely BTT; however it does have 3 useful features (from a
Field engineer's point of view):-
- The ability to merge and chronologically order multiple errorlog
files
- Single line per event output (as in Stu Fuller's FSTERR tool and
TOPS20's SYSERR/BRIEF!!).
- The ability to feed it a CONFIG file so that SWEAT reports real
controller names (instead of something meaningless like 0009DEADBEEF)

Agreed!!

Does it run on OpenVMS Alphs also???

It runs on VAXen and Alphas; it can merge ELE's from a mixed
cluster and then bust them out (you do NOT have to run an Alpha
image to bust Alpha ELE's).
