This section covers the following information for user diagnostics for Linux NIC driver management applications:

Running Linux User Diagnostics

Linux Diagnostic Test Descriptions

Linux Diagnostic Test Messages

NOTE:

The current release does not support external and internal loopback tests. Support is expected in a future release.

Running Linux User Diagnostics

Linux user diagnostics include QConvergeConsole diagnostics and ethtool diagnostics.

QConvergeConsole Diagnostics

NOTE:

Information on installing and starting the GUI version of QLogic's

QConvergeConsole utility is provided in the QConvergeConsole User's

Guide. All procedural information for that utility is covered in the

QConvergeConsole Help System.

QConvergeConsole CLI-based diagnostics include the following commands:

To enable or disable the port beacon, issue the following command: qaucli -pr nic -beacon [cna_port_inst] <onoff>

To run an internal loopback test, issue the following command:

qaucli -pr nic -intloopback <cna_port_inst> <tests_num> <on_error>

where tests_num is the number of tests (1–65535) and on_error is either

0=Ignore or 1=Abort
