Figure 4-8 Diagnostic utility
In the utility, only data non-destructive tests are available by default. To enable all
the tests (including destructive SCSI Disk Write/Format Tests), choose
Options → Toggle Hidden Test Display .
Note: Multiprocessor tests were not available in the Diagnostic utility at the
time of writing this book. They should be made available by a diagnostics
update.
The processor test only tests the bootstrap processor and does not verify the
whole processor system in a multi-processor setup. You can use the
Processor Tests option to test a single processor but, if more than one
processor is fitted, you will need to remove all the processors and fit each one
in turn to correctly test it. Because there is no way to identify what processor is
the system bootstrap processor from the EFI environment, this test has limited
use.
4.1.5 Boot maintenance menu
The boot maintenance menu allows you to modify the EFI boot menu records,
including the entries (add, delete, modify), and to change the order. The order is
important because that is the order that the system will try to boot from (similar to
the boot sequence option in Setup in IA-32 based xSeries systems).
