Parameter

Description

physicalDiskChannel

The identifier number of the physical disk channel
that you want to locate. Valid values for the
identifier number are 1 or 2. Enclose the identifier
number in square brackets ([ ]).

raidControllerModule

The identifier letter of the RAID controller module

for the RAID controller module on the bottom
when viewed from the rear of the enclosure.

testDevices

The identifiers of the devices (RAID controller
modules, EMMs, or physical disks) that you want to
test. You can specify all or enter the specific
identifiers for the devices that you want to
diagnose.

dataPattern

The method of repeatability that you want to test.

patternNumber

The hexadecimal data pattern you want to use to
run the test.
This number can be any hexadecimal number

between 0000 to FFFF.

maxErrorCount

The number of errors that you want to accept
before terminating the test.

testIterations

The number of times that you want to repeat the
test.

timeout

The length of time in minutes that you want to run
the test.

NOTE: Use the save physicalDiskChannel faultDiagnostics command and the stop
physicalDiskChannel faultDiagnostics command in association with the start
