5.7 Performing a Diagnosis Test
This section describes the procedure for performing an initial diagnosis on the hardware before starting the system.
Note - The SPARC M12-1 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 on the hardware.
    The command powers on and off the SPARC M12-1 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 M12-1.
    <‌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 results from the following XSCF command are displayed: ioxadm -v list.

    -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 results from the following XSCF command are displayed: ioxadm -v list.

    -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.

00-0 Passed Normal
XSCF>
  1. Check the execution results of "probe-scsi-all" to confirm that all mounted internal storage is recognized.
  2. Check the execution results of "show-devs" to confirm that all mounted PCIe cards are recognized.
  3. Confirm that "Passed" and "Normal" appear for PSB00-0 in the results from the initial diagnosis.
    If the results display anything other than the above, see "Appendix A Troubleshooting."
