power-on-reset, error-reset

Specifies the class of reset event that causes diagnostics to run automatically. Default setting is power-on-reset error-reset.

• none - Diagnostic tests are not executed.
• error-reset - Reset that is caused by certain hardware error events such as RED State Exception Reset, Watchdog Resets, Software-Instruction Reset, or Hardware Fatal Reset.
• power-on-reset - Reset that is caused by power cycling the system.
• user-reset - Reset that is initiated by an operating system panic or by user-initiated commands from OpenBoot (reset-all or boot) or from Solaris (reboot, shutdown, or init).
• all-resets - Any kind of system reset.
