What to Do

1.At the system ok prompt, type:

ok .asr

In the .asr command output, any devices marked disabled have been manually deconfigured using the asr-disablecommand. The .asr command also lists devices that have failed firmware diagnostics and have been automatically deconfigured by the OpenBoot ASR feature.

2.Display components that have failed POST diagnostics. Type:

ok show-post-results

3.Display components that have failed OpenBoot diagnostics tests. Type:

ok show-obdiag-results
