Using the FDDI Status Utility

Using the FDDI Status Utility

This appendix describes the FDDI status utility, which is the workgroup monitoring tool for the EISA PC adapter. This utility works in conjunction with the workgroup drivers on DOS and OS/2 systems.

Running fddistat

The File Status utilities (fddistat) for DOS and Windows NT are supplied on the workgroup EISA PC Driver disk.

For DOS systems running the ODI driver, use the following path:

A:\novell\client\tools\fddistat.exe

For Microsoft Windows NT systems running the Windows NT driver, use the following path:

A:\winnt\i386\fddistat.exe

Copy the appropriate utility to your hard disk.

NetWare servers can view the FDDI statistics through the console monitor (monitor.nlm). Make sure the monitor.nlm file version is 2-4-93 or later.

The format of the fddistat command follows, where -p perpetually displays the short form of information. The -p parameter provides continual updates to a basic set of data, which is useful for monitoring. This option will continue to display until you press any key. (For additional information see Figure B-2.)

fddistat [-p] [-h]


Note The -h option may slow down your system when displaying fddistat options.

Workgroup fddistat Statistics

The fddistat utility provides statistics for monitoring the workgroup EISA PC adapter.

Figure B-1 shows an example of fddistat output for a single attachment configuration.

The fddistat parameters are defined as follows:

Using the Perpetual Form

The perpetual data form displays the basic information and continually updates selected data at the bottom until you press any key. Figure B-2 is an example of a perpetual data form.
