Diagnostic Tools
The following diagnostic tools are available for your server.
|
|
|
U-Boot Diagnostics
|
U-Boot automatically tests basic hardware functions to ensure that
there is enough functionality to boot the SP.
|
|
Oracle ILOM Preboot Menu
|
The Oracle ILOM preboot menu can be used to fix problems with
Oracle ILOM that cannot be fixed while it is running. It allows you
to interrupt the Oracle ILOM boot process, configure settings, then
continue booting.
Among other things, it allows you to reset the Oracle ILOM root
password to factory defaults, restore Oracle ILOM access to the
serial port, and update the SP firmware.
|
|
BIOS POST
|
At system startup, the BIOS performs a power-on self-test (POST)
that checks the hardware on your server to ensure that all
components are present and functioning properly. It displays the
results of these tests on the system console.
|
|
Service processor (Oracle ILOM)
|
Oracle ILOM displays the status of system components. You can then
replace a failed component, which often clears the problem.

SunVTS provides a comprehensive diagnostic tool that verifies the
connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and
devices. SunVTS is the preferred test for diagnosing I/O and SBA
problems.
