Installation of MPH Software
The DIGITAL Product Performance (DPP) Program monitors and verifies the in-field performance of
Compaq systems. This program provides engineering, manufacturing, and service organizations with
accurate information on the performance of products at customer and Compaq internal sites.
The DPP group has developed a system monitoring tool called Monitoring Performance History (MPH).
MPH is distributed free of charge. By running MPH, Compaq can provide an additional level of proactive
support to help customers manage their systems’ availability and reliability.
MPH collects error log entries, crash
dump footprints and configuration
information from the monitored systems.
The information is collected weekly and
is sent back to Compaq by either
Internet mail or the DIGITAL Services
Network Link (DSNLink) transport
mechanisms. The information is then
analyzed by the DPP group. After
analysis, various reports are generated
and distributed to engineering,
manufacturing, and service groups.
These groups use the information to
gauge and look for ways to improve
your system performance and
availability.
MPH will not impact or degrade the
monitored system’s performance. MPH
uses negligible CPU resources. Except
for installation, the process is automatic.
All MPH data collected is confidential
to Compaq.
MPH for
Tru64 UNIX
Systems
The latest Tru64 UNIX MPH tape archive file, which includes the MPH kit and installation guide, can be
requested by sending DSNLink mail to MPH-UNIX-KIT. After the DSNLink copy has completed, the tape
archive file should be copied to the /usr/field/mph directory and expanded using the command:
XEV\ZJQTLCYRM\XEV
The Tru64 UNIX MPH kit and installation guide is also included as part of the Tru64 UNIX operating
system (V3.2 and higher). MPH resides in the following directory:
