Run Post In Maximum Mode - Fujitsu SPARC ENTERPRISE T5140 Service Manual

▼ Run POST in Maximum Mode

POST can be helpful when used as a first-stage diagnostic tool. When a fault's
symptoms are unclear, you can run POST in maximum mode to generate extensive
status information on all the key system components.
1. From the ILOM prompt, set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run
in service mode:
-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag
Set 'keyswitch_state' to 'Diag'
2. Reset the system so that POST runs.
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example shows a reset
using a power cycle command sequence. For other methods, refer to the SPARC
Enterprise T5140 and T5240 Servers Administration Guide.
-> stop /SYS
Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
Stopping /SYS
-> start /SYS
Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
Starting /SYS
Note – The server takes about one minute to power off.
3. Switch to the system console to view the POST output.
The following is an partial example of POST output.
-> start /SP/console
