HP Array Controller HSG V8.7 Software - Manual (Page 372)

B–100 HSG80 User’s Guide
Caution The IMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN switch instructs the
controller to immediately shut down, without regard to any data
contained within write-back cache. See “Fault-Tolerance for Write-
Back Caching,” page 1–21 for considerations when implementing
write-back cache. Do not perform any hardware changes until the
controller flushes the cache.
Select IMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN to instruct the controller to run the
self-test program immediately without checking for online devices or
without flushing user data from write-back cache to devices.
Select NOIMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN to instruct the controller to
flush data from write-back cache before running the self-test program.
Examples
This example shows how to start the self-test program on “this
controller:”
SELFTEST THIS_CONTROLLER
This example shows how to run the self-test program on the “other
controller,” even if the “other controller” cannot flush all data from the
write-back cache:
SELFTEST OTHER_CONTROLLER IGNORE_ERRORS
