socaltest aids the validation and fault isolation of the SOC+ host adapter card. In the case of a faulty card, the test tries to isolate the fault to the card, the GBIC module, or the DMA between the host adapter card and the host memory.
In addition to the tests described above, socaltest also tests the basic functions of the SOC+ chip, the on-board XRAM, and the host control buffer by invoking the appropriate tests implemented in firmware.
socaltest can only be run in the Functional Test modes.
You cannot run the internal and external loopback tests if the port is connected to a disk array.

Table 32-2 socaltest Command Line Syntax
Argument |
Explanation |
---|---|
dev=device name |
The name of the socal port to be tested. |
elb=enabled|disabled |
Enables or disables the external loopback test. |
ilb=enabled|disabled |
Enables or disables the internal loopback test. |
lbf=enable|disable |
Enables or disables the loopback frame test. |
ptn=pattern |
Specify the pattern in hexadecimal, for example: ptn=0x7e7e7e7e |
64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory: /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to "32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests".
