SELFTEST controller

Flushes the data from the specified controller’s write-back cache (if present) and shuts down the controller. It then restarts the controller in self-test mode. Press the controller reset (//) button to take the controller out of self-test mode.

Syntax

SELFTEST controller

Parameters

controller

The controller parameter indicates which controller is to perform the self-test program. Specify OTHER_CONTROLLER or THIS_CONTROLLER.

Switches

IGNORE_ERRORS

NOIGNORE_ERRORS (Default)

Instruct the controller how to respond to write-back cache errors.

CAUTION: The IGNORE_ERRORS switch might cause data to remain in write-back cache. See “Fault-Tolerance for Write-Back Caching,” page 1–22,for considerations when implementing write-back cache. Do not perform any hardware changes until the controller flushes the cache.

Specify IGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller to ignore any write-back cache errors. Such errors can result from data contained within write-back cache unable to be written to the devices or lost data errors.

Specify NOIGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller not to run the self-test program if the write-back cache errors are detected.
