About OpenBoot Diagnostics Tests

This section describes the OpenBoot Diagnostics tests you can run and explains what
each test does. For instructions on running OpenBoot Diagnostics tests, see “How to
Isolate Failures Using OpenBoot Diagnostics” on page 181.

When you use the

obdiag

command at the

ok

prompt, OpenBoot Diagnostics

displays a menu of available tests. The menu is dynamic, and test numbers are not
fixed. Following is an example of the menu.

The

test

Command

You can run a specific self-test at the

obdiag>

prompt by entering

test

n, where n

is the number of the test in the menu. (Enter

help

at the

obdiag>

prompt for

information about other OpenBoot Diagnostics commands.) An Ethernet cable must
be attached to the system and to an Ethernet tap or hub, or the external loopback test
will fail if invoked. To quit OpenBoot Diagnostics, use the

exit

command, which

returns you to the

ok

prompt.

You can also run OpenBoot Diagnostics commands from the

ok

prompt for any

device by invoking its self-test method. If a device has no self-test method, the
message

No selftest method for device name

is displayed. To run the

self-test method for a device, type the OpenBoot PROM

test

command at the

ok

prompt, followed by the device alias or device path name. For example:

ok test net
