5.7 Performing a Diagnosis Test
This section describes the procedure for performing an initial diagnosis of hardware before system startup.
Remarks - In the case of the SPARC M12-2, a single SPARC M12-2 is treated as one physical system board (PSB). The physical system board (PSB) consists of physical components (CPU, memory, and I/O).
Note - The SPARC M12-2 is powered on and off during the diagnosis test.
A CPU Activation key does not need to have been registered for power-on during the diagnosis test at this point.
  1. Execute the testsb command.
    The testsb command performs an initial diagnosis of hardware.
    The command powers on and off the SPARC M12-2 during the diagnosis. By specifying options, you can check whether HDD/SSD/PCIe cards are mounted.

    The following example performs an initial diagnosis and connection I/O check of the SPARC M12-2.
    <‌Description of options specified>‌
    -v: Additionally displays detailed messages of the initial diagnosis

    -p: Executes the "probe-scsi-all" command of OpenBoot PROM and displays the results while a diagnosis is being processed. If the PCI expansion unit is connected, the execution results of ioxadm -v list, an XSCF command, are displayed.

    -s: Executes the "show-devs" command of OpenBoot PROM and displays the results while a diagnosis is being processed. If the PCI expansion unit is connected, the execution results of ioxadm -v list, an XSCF command, are displayed.

    -a: Diagnoses all the mounted hardware resources

    -y: Automatically responds with "y" to a query
XSCF> testsb -a -v -p -s
Initial diagnosis is about to start, Continue?[y|n] :y
PSB power on sequence started.

XSCF>
  1. Check the execution results of "probe-scsi-all" to confirm that all mounted internal storage (HDD/SSD) is identified.
  2. Check the execution results of "show-devs" to confirm that all mounted PCIe cards are identified.
  3. If a PCI expansion unit is connected, you can confirm the serial number and firmware version number of the PCI expansion unit from the execution results of "ioxadm -v list".
  4. Confirm that "Passed" and "Normal" appear for PSB 00-0 in the results from the initial diagnosis.
    If the results display anything other than the above, see "Appendix A Troubleshooting."
