„Run these tests when no other activities are required of the HBA.

„Disruption of some diagnostic tests may require a complete update of the HBA's critical memory areas.

Although SANsurfer FC CLI protects against normal operation interruption and testing disruption, it is your responsibility to ensure that the diagnostics are run without causing interruptions to other processes and disruptions to the actual testing process.
