Forth Toolkit; Sundiagnostic Executive - Sun Microsystems SPARCclassic Service Manual

Forth Toolkit

The Forth Toolkit is a basic diagnostic utility and system interface. If there is any
problem with your operating system, the Forth Toolkit automatically starts, as
indicated by the appearance of the ok prompt.
You can also choose to access the Forth Toolkit by halting the system. For
information on how to access the Forth Toolkit, see Appendix C.
For extensive information about tests you can run from the Forth Toolkit, see Open
Boot Command Reference.

SunDiagnostic Executive

The SunDiagnostic Executive is an independent operating system. It runs exhaustive
subsystem tests that are independent of the normal operating system. Run the
SunDiagnostic Executive if all POSTs pass, but your system still has a problem. For
information about POST, see "Power-On Self-Test (POST)" on page 21. The
SunDiagnostic Executive is described in the SunDiagnostic Executive User's Guide for
the SPARCstations.
Note - The SunDiagnostic Executive is not applicable to the SPARCclassic X terminal.
