Error log analyis tool for AlphaServer ES40

[Jess Goodman]

What is the best tool available to analyze the ERRLOG from an ES40 running VMS 7.2-2.

I'm having a hardware issue and the system won't stay up. There were a couple of machine checks, but not it just hangs. No hardware support unfortunately.

Neither DIAGNOSE (DECevent V3.4) or ANALYZE/EVENT/ELV (run from a different system with VMS 7.3-2) seem to be able to translate the error log events properly. I seem to remember another free analysis tool available but I'm not sure what it was.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Jess,

As you are using an ES40 you can only interrogate the error log with the System Event Analyzer (SEA). This is part of the WEBES tool suite which is free to users with an appropriate HP support contract. I am not sure what you can do without this contract. What is your other system?

The other system is an ES45 running VMS 7.3-2 and it is under maintenance.

SEA is available from

Hello Jess,

You are in luck as all ES series AlphaServers are capable of running the WEBES tools. Install WEBES on your ES45 (you may want to log a call with HP Support for guidance), copy the log file from the ES40 to the ES45 and, finally, perform a manual analysis. Don't worry, the SEA User Guide is quite comprehensive.


Regards,

Maybe you can find some time to do some assigning?

Mind, I do NOT say you necessarily need to give lots of points. It is fully up to _YOU_ to decide how many. If you consider an answer is not deserving any points, you can also assign 0 ( = zero ) points, and then that answer will no longer be counted as unassigned.
Consider, that every poster took at least the trouble of posting for you!

To easily find your streams with unassigned points, click your own name somewhere.
This will bring up your profile.
Near the bottom of that page, under the caption â My Question(s)â you will find â questions or topics with unassigned points â Clicking that will give all, and only, your questions that still have unassigned postings.

Thanks on behalf of your Forum colleagues.

PS. â nothing personal in this. I try to post it to everyone with this kind of assignment ratio in this forum. If you have received a posting like this before â please do not take offence â none is intended!

Proost.

Have one on me.
