OpenVMS Alpha System Dump Analyzer Utility Manual

Previous | Contents

The CLUE MEMORY/STATISTIC command displays systemwide performance data such as page fault, I/O, pool, lock manager, MSCP, and file system cache.

CLUE PROCESS

Displays process-related information from the current process context.

Format

CLUE PROCESS [/qualifier[,...]]

PARAMETERS

None.

QUALIFIERS

/BUFFER [/ALL]

Displays the buffer objects for the current process. If the /ALL qualifier is specified, then the buffer objects for all processes (that is, all existing buffer objects) are displayed.

/LAYOUT

Displays the process P1 virtual address space layout.

/LOGICAL

Displays the process logical names and equivalence names, if they can be accessed.

/RECALL

Displays the DCL recall buffer, if it can be accessed.

DESCRIPTION

The CLUE PROCESS command displays process-related information from the current process context. Much of this information is in pageable address space and thus may not be present in a dump file.

Examples

#1 
SDA> CLUE PROCESS/LOGICAL 
Process Logical Names:
----------------------
   "SYS$OUTPUT" = "_CLAWS$LTA5004:"
   "SYS$OUTPUT" = "_CLAWS$LTA5004:"
   "SYS$DISK" = "WORK1:"
   "BACKUP_FILE" = "_$65$DUA6"
   "SYS$PUTMSG" = "...À...À.."
   "SYS$COMMAND" = "_CLAWS$LTA5004:"
   "TAPE_LOGICAL_NAME" = "_$1$MUA3:"
   "TT" = "LTA5004:"
   "SYS$INPUT" = "_$65$DUA6:"
   "SYS$INPUT" = "_CLAWS$LTA5004:"
   "SYS$ERROR" = "21C00303.LOG"
   "SYS$ERROR" = "_CLAWS$LTA5004:"
   "ERROR_FILE" = "_$65$DUA6"

The CLUE PROCESS/LOGICAL command displays logical names for each running process.

  9    mc ess$ladcp show serv 
 10    tpu clue_cmd.cld 
 11    ana/sys

The CLUE PROCESS/RECALL command displays a listing of the DCL commands that have been executed most recently.

CLUE STACK

Identifies and displays the current stack. Use the SDA command SHOW STACK to display and decode the whole stack for the more common bugcheck types.

Format

CLUE STACK

PARAMETERS

None.

QUALIFIERS

None.

DESCRIPTION

The CLUE STACK command identifies and displays the current stack together with the upper and lower stack limits. In case of a FATALEXCPT, INVEXCEPTN, SSRVEXCEPT, UNXSIGNAL, or PGFIPLHI bugcheck, CLUE STACK tries to decode the whole stack.

Examples

CLUE STACK displays and decodes the current stack if it is one of the more popular and known bugcheck types. In this case, CLUE STACK trys to decode the whole INVEXCEPTN stack.

CLUE VCC

Displays virtual I/O cache-related information.

Format

CLUE VCC [/qualifier[,...]]

PARAMETERS

None.

QUALIFIERS

/CACHE

Decodes and displays the cache lines that are used to correlate the file virtual block numbers (VBNs) with the memory used for caching. Note that the cache itself is not dumped in a selective dump. Use of this qualifier with a selective dump produces the following message: 
%CLUE-I-VCCNOCAC, Cache space not dumped because DUMPSTYLE is selective

/LIMBO

Walks through the limbo queue (LRU order) and displays information for the cached file header control blocks (FCBs).

/STATISTIC

Displays statistical and performance information related to the virtual I/O cache.

/VOLUME

Decodes and displays the cache volume control blocks (CVCB).

CLUE XQP

Displays XQP-related information.

Format

CLUE XQP [/qualifier[,...]]

PARAMETERS

None.

QUALIFIERS

/ACTIVE [/FULL]

Displays all active XQP processes.

/AQB

Displays any current I/O request packets (IRPs) waiting at the interlocked queue.

/BFRD=index

Displays the buffer descriptor (BFRD) referenced by the index specified. The index is identical to the hash value.

/BFRL=index

Displays the buffer lock block descriptor (BFRL) referenced by the index specified. The index is identical to the hash value.

/BUFFER=(n,m) [/FULL]

Displays the BFRDs for a given pool. Specify either 0, 1, 2 or 3, or a combination of these in the parameter list.

/CACHE_HEADER

Displays the block buffer cache header.

/FCB=address [/FULL]

Displays all file header control blocks (FCBs) with a nonzero DIRINDX for a given volume. If no address is specified, the current volume of the current process is used.

The address specified can also be either a valid volume control block (VCB), unit control block (UCB), or window control block (WCB) address.

/FILE=address

Decodes and displays file header (FCB), window (WCB), and cache information for a given file. The file can be identified by either its FCB or WCB address.

/GLOBAL

Displays the global XQP area for a given process.

/LBN_HASH=lbn

Calculates and displays the hash value for a given logical block number (LBN).

/LIMBO

Searches through the limbo queue and displays FCB information from available, but unused file headers.

/LOCK=lockbasis

Displays all file system serialization, arbitration, and cache locks found for the specified lockbasis.

/THREAD=n

Displays the XQP thread area for a given process. The specified thread number is checked for validity. If no thread number is specified, the current thread is displayed. If no current thread, but only one single thread is in use, then that thread is displayed. If more than one thread exists or an invalid thread number is specified, then a list of currently used threads is displayed.

/VALIDATE=(n,m)

Performs certain validation checks on the block buffer cache to detect corruption. Specify 1, 2, 3, 4, or a combination of these in the parameter list. If an inconsistency is found, a minimal error message is displayed. If you add the /FULL qualifier, additional information is displayed.

DESCRIPTION

The CLUE XQP command displays XQP information. XQP is part of the I/O subsystem.

The SDA command CLUE XQP/CACHE_HEADER displays the block buffer cache header.

#2 
SDA> CLUE XQP/VALIDATE=(1,4)
Searching BFRD Array for possible Corruption... 
Searching Lock Basis Hashtable for possible Corruption...

In this example, executing the CLUE XQP/VALIDATE=1,4 command indicated that no corruption was detected in either the BFRD Array or the Lock Basis Hashtable.
