6.7 Performing a Diagnosis Test


6.7 Performing a Diagnosis Test
This section describes the procedure for performing an initial diagnosis of the specified physical system board (PSB) while the power is off.
Note - The PSB is powered on and off during the diagnosis test.
For power-on during the diagnosis test, CPU Activation keys do not need to have been registered.
  1. Execute the testsb command.
    The testsb command performs an initial diagnosis of the specified physical system board (PSB).
    The command powers on and off the PSB during the diagnosis. By specifying options, you can check whether HDD/SSD/PCIe cards are mounted. You can also check the crossbar cable connections in a building block configuration.

    The following example performs an initial diagnosis of all mounted PSBs and checks the connection I/O.
    <‌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

    -s: Executes the "show-devs" command of OpenBoot PROM and displays the results while a diagnosis is being processed

    -a: Diagnoses all the mounted PSBs

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

  1. Check the execution results of "probe-scsi-all" to confirm that all mounted internal disks are identified.
  2. Check the execution results of "show-devs" to confirm that all mounted PCIe cards are identified.
  3. Confirm that "Passed" and "Normal" appear for all PSBs in the results from the initial diagnosis.
    If the results display anything other than the above, see "Appendix A Troubleshooting."
