After the system passes self-test, you must verify proper system operation.
First verify the presence of SCSI devices, then verify the boot device load
path. After the path is verified, you can boot the operating system and use
operating system-based test programs (such as VET) to complete system
verification.
The system is tested automatically during power-up; no off-line loadable
diagnostics are required or provided. The Loadable Firmware Update
(LFU) Utility is currently the only supported off-line loadable program. It
is used to update firmware on any module residing on the system that has
updatable firmware.
