Using the OpenBoot PROM FCode Self-Test

The SunATM adapter’s self-test verifies the correct operation of the adapter, and it can be used to identify hardware problems with the adapter. The self-test is a suite of tests that reside in the FCode PROM on the adapter.

You can only invoke the FCode self-test diagnostics using the OpenBoot PROM test or test-allcommands. In order to access the OpenBoot PROM, you must shut down and halt your system.

The adapter’s self-test does not automatically run after you power on or reset the system, but you can use the self-test any time you want to determine the status of the hardware. If you encounter an error while running the diagnostic, appropriate messages will be displayed.

Note –The self-test does not require connection to the network. The self-test will test the internal loopback up to the adapter’s saturn user network interface (SUNI) ASIC.
