Configuring OpenBoot Diagnostics

OpenBoot Diagnostics is configurable, and for the simplest testing, follow this
procedure.
1. At the obdiag prompt, set the diagnostic passes to 1. Type:
obdiag> setenv diag-passes 1
2. Set the diagnostic level to maximum. Type:
obdiag> setenv diag-level max
3. Set the diagnostics to be verbose and display subtest names during test execution.
Type:
obdiag> setenv test-args verbose,subtests
These settings are stored in the NVRAM test-args parameter and survive power
cycling.
Note – The help command provides additional information for configuring
OpenBoot Diagnostics.
