OpenBoot diagnostic tests
OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag) is a menu-driven diagnostic tool that diagnoses system
hardware.
OBDiag performs root-cause failure analysis on the referenced devices by testing internal
registers, confirming subsystem integrity, and verifying device functionality.
To use the OpenBoot diagnostic tests:
1. From the root login, turn off CMS.
2. Enter:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0
The system shuts down and the ok prompt is displayed.
3. Enter:
obdiag
This loads the test program and the test menu is displayed.
4. Enter:
obtest <command number>
See the following table for a summary of OpenBoot Diagnostic test commands.
