Sample SP Environmental Variables Showing U-Boot Test Status

A -Failed or -Passed status of the last U-Boot test performed on the server is stored in the SP environmental variables. To view this status from the diagnostic mode, use the U-Boot showenv command. A sample output of the environmental variables showing the status of U-Boot tests is provided in the following example.
