3.4.3.2
Diagnosing the System Hardware
You can use POST as an initial diagnostic tool for the system hardware. In this case,
configure POST to run in maximum mode (
diag_mode=service
,
setkeyswitch=
diag
,
diag_level=max
) for thorough test coverage and verbose output.
3.4.4
Running POST in Maximum Mode
This procedure describes how to run POST when you want maximum testing, as in
the case when you are troubleshooting a server or verifying a hardware upgrade or
repair.
1. Switch from the system console prompt to the
sc>
prompt by issuing the #. escape
sequence.
2. Set the virtual keyswitch to
diag
so that POST will run in Service mode.
3. Reset the system so that POST runs.
There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example uses the
powercycle
command. For other methods, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T1000
Server Administration Guide.
