Selftest Controller - Compaq StorageWorks HSZ80 Configuration And Cli Reference Manual

SELFTEST controller

Flushes the data from the specified controller's write-back cache (if present) and shuts
down the controller. It then restarts the controller in self-test mode. Press the
controller reset (//) button to take the controller out of self-test mode.
Syntax
SELFTEST controller
Parameters
controller
The controller parameter indicates which controller is to perform the self-test
program. Specify OTHER_CONTROLLER or THIS_CONTROLLER.
Switches
IGNORE_ERRORS
NOIGNORE_ERRORS (Default)
Instruct the controller how to respond to write-back cache errors.
Specify IGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller to ignore any write-back cache
errors. Such errors can result from data contained within write-back cache unable to
be written to the devices or lost data errors.
Specify NOIGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller not to run the self-test
program if the write-back cache errors are detected.
CAUTION: The IGNORE_ERRORS switch might cause data to remain in
write-back cache. See "Fault-Tolerance for Write-Back Caching," page
1–22, for considerations when implementing write-back cache. Do not
perform any hardware changes until the controller flushes the cache.
