Interpreting the show Command Displays
Interpreting the
show config
Display
If no errors are detected when you enter a
show config
command, you will see the message OK next to each device
name. If an error is detected, a question mark (?) error
indicator will be displayed in the DEVSTAT column next to the
corresponding device name.
If you see an error indicator next to any device name, as shown
in Figure 13–4, note the error number and the DEVNAM on the
Handling Problems worksheet at the end of Chapter 14. If you
wish, you can test the device that shows an error in the
show
config
display by following the instructions in Chapter 14.
The show
device Display
The
show device
command provides a list of all installed devices
on your system, including information about the type of device,
its write/read capabilities, its capacity, the device name, and
firmware revision.
Figure 13–5 shows an example of a
show device
command
display.

While the
show device
display does not indicate the status of
a device, it can be used for troubleshooting problems that may
occur due to duplicate SCSI device ID numbers. (See DEC 3000
Model 600/600S/700 AXP Options Guide and specific option
documentation for information on setting SCSI IDs.)
