test hardware-group
This command allows a user to perform a set of hardware diagnostic tests on the
whole system, a carrier, cabi net, spe, or board. The tests vary ac cording to the
configuration of the system and the specified command options. Each te st
exercises diagnostic s on all the hardware in the spec ified hardware group and
reports results of the test along with any p ossible error codes. Concurrent testing
is done to enhance perfo rmance, therefore, test results display on th e SAT in the
order they are received. Conseq uently, test results of one maintenance object
may be intermixed with test results of other maintenance objects.
Because the tests for this command are not destructive, the tests performed on a
particular maintenance ob ject with either the

short

or the long

option

may not be
the same as the corresponding demand tests.
A hardware-group comman d executing in the foreg round may be cancelled by
either pressing the CANCEL key or by entering the cancel hardware-group
command at a different SAT. However, if the technician wants to c ancel a test
hardware-group command running in the b ackground, the cancel
hardware-group command can be ente red on any SAT. A canceled test
hardware-group command can be resumed at the point it left off by entering the
resume hardware-group command . Restarts are not allowed for test
hardware-group commands entered with either the
all-ports
option or the

spe-interchange

option.
