Command Reference

This section provides detailed information on the diagnostic commands and related
commands.

test

The test command runs one pass of diagnostics for the system. To run tests concurrently
and indefinitely, use the sys_exer command. Fatal errors are reported to the console
terminal.
The more el command should be used with the test command to examine test/error
information reported to the console event log.
By default, no write tests are performed on disk and tape drives. Media must be installed
to test the floppy drive and tape drives. A loopback connector is required for the COM2
(9-pin loopback connector, 12-27351-01) port and parallel port (25-pin loopback
connector) when the -lb argument is used.
The test command does not test the DNSES, M
options.
When using the test command after shutting down an operating system, you must initialize
the system to a quiescent state. Enter the following command at the SRM console:
>>> init
