Oracle^® ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics Firmware Release 3.2.x

Enable PC-Check to Run at Boot (CLI)

Before You Begin

• To diagnose hardware issues on Oracle x86 systems, you need the Reset and Host Control (r) role enabled.

• If you choose to run diagnostics in Manual mode, or if you want to monitor the progress of diagnostic tests in Enabled or Extended mode, do one of the following:

  • Start a host console redirection.

  • Set up a serial console.

  • Connect a keyboard, video, and mouse to your system.

    For details about launching a redirection session, see Using Remote KVMS Consoles for Host Server Redirection in Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 3.2.x.
