OpenBoot diagnostic tests

OpenBoot Diagnostics (OBDiag) is a menu-driven diagnostic tool that diagnoses system
hardware.

OBDiag performs root-cause failure analysis on the referenced devices by testing internal
registers, confirming subsystem integrity, and verifying device functionality.

To use the OpenBoot diagnostic tests:

1. From the root login, turn off CMS.

2. Enter:

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0

The system shuts down and the ok prompt is displayed.

3. Enter:

obdiag

This loads the test program and the test menu is displayed.

4. Enter:

obtest <command number>

See the following table for a summary of OpenBoot Diagnostic test commands.
