Customizing Server Diagnostics EFI Test Settings

You can customize Server Diagnostics test settings by choosing which tests are run, whether to loop tests, and whether to stop or continue testing when an error occurs.

To customize Server Diagnostics EFI test settings:

1In Server Diagnostics EFI, select the test settings you want.

To do this

Do this

Choose which tests are run

Do any of the following:

 

ÂÂ

To select a test, select the checkbox next to

 

 

the test.

 

ÂÂ

To select a specific test within a category of

 

 

tests, click the disclosure triangle next to the

 

 

category, and then select individual tests.

 

ÂÂ To select all tests, click Select All.

 

ÂÂ

To remove all tests, click Deselect All.

 

 

Loop all selected tests

Do one of the following:

 

ÂÂ

To loop selected tests a specific number of

 

 

times, select “Loop # times” and replace # with

 

 

the number of times to loop.

 

ÂÂ To run tests once, select “Loop # times” and

 

 

replace # with the number 1.

 

ÂÂ

To loop tests for a specific amount of time,

 

 

select “Loop for # hours and # minutes” and

 

 

replace # with number of hours and minutes

 

 

to loop. When the specified time is reached,

 

 

the current loop must complete before the

 

 

tests stop. For example, if one loop of your

 

 

test set takes 2 hours to complete and your

 

 

specified time is 3 hours, Server Diagnostics

 

 

stops testing in 4 hours. (Instead of stopping

 

 

at 3, it waits for the current test set loop to

 

 

complete before stopping.)

 

 

Change what to do when an error occurs

In the On Error pop-up menu, do one of the

 

following:

 

ÂÂ

To stop testing when the first error occurs,

 

 

choose Stop.

 

ÂÂ

To continue testing when errors occur, choose

 

 

Continue.

 

 

 

2To run the test, click Test.
