Sun Microsystems X1150A manual Using the OpenBoot Prom FCode Self- Test, Shut down the system

Using the OpenBoot PROM FCode Self- Test

The following tests are available to help identify problems with the adapter if the system does not boot.

You can invoke the FCode self-test diagnostics by using the OpenBoot user interface test or test-allcommands. If you encounter an error while running diagnostics, appropriate messages will be displayed. Refer to the appropriate OpenBoot Command Reference Manual for more information on the test and test-allcommands.

The FCode self-test exercises most functionality sub-section by sub-section and ensures the following:

■Connectivity during adapter card installation

■Verification that all components required for a system boot are functional

▼Running the Ethernet FCode Self-Test Diagnostic

To run the Ethernet diagnostics, you must first bring the system to a stop at the OpenBoot prompt after issuing a reset. If you do not reset the system, the diagnostic tests might cause the system to hang.

For more information about the OpenBoot commands in this section, refer to the appropriate OpenBoot Command Reference Manual.

1.Shut down the system.

Use the standard shutdown procedures described in the Solaris Handbook for Sun Peripherals.

2.At the ok prompt, set the auto-boot?configuration variable to false.

ok setenv auto-boot? false

3.Reset the system.

ok reset-all
