Sundiag System Exerciser

Use the Sundiag System Exerciser to determine real-time use of system resources and
peripheral equipment such as Desktop Storage Modules and External Storage
Modules. The Sundiag System Exerciser verifies that the system is functioning
properly. For information about how to use the Sundiag System Exerciser, see the
Sundiag User's Guide.
If Sundiag passes, the system is operating properly. If Sundiag fails, the error
messages should indicate the part of the system that has failed. If the error messages
are not descriptive enough, you may need to run POST or the SunDiagnostic
Executive.
Note -
The Sundiag System Exerciser is not applicable to the SPARCclassic X
terminal.
