Enable Host Diagnostics to Run on Legacy SPARC Servers (Web)

Before You Begin

• The Reset and Host control (r) role is required to modify the SPARC diagnostic properties in Oracle ILOM on SPARC systems.

• The Steps in this procedure are applicable to legacy SPARC servers such as M6, M5, T5 and some earlier T series servers.

To enable SPARC diagnostics tests to run when the system is powered on, do the following:

1. From the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Diagnostics.

   The Diagnostics page appears.

2. In the Trigger field, select one or more of the following triggers for running diagnostic tests:

   • Power On – Run diagnostics in the event of a routine power on, power cycle, or reset.

     ---

     Note -  This setting does not apply in the event of an AC power cycle, hardware change, or error-invoked reset.

     ---

   • HW Change – Run diagnostics in the event of an AC power cycle, server top cover removal, or FRU (field-replaceable unit) replacement.

   • Error Reset – Run diagnostics in the event of an error-invoked reset.

3. In the Level list box for each trigger you selected in Step 2, select one of the following test levels:
   • Min – Run a basic suite of diagnostic tests.
   • Max – Run a basic suite of diagnostic tests plus extensive processor and memory tests.
4. In the Verbosity list box for each trigger you selected in Step 2, select one of the following options for the verbosity of the diagnostic output:
   • None – Do not print output to the system console when diagnostics are run, unless a fault is detected.
   • Min – Print limited output to the system console when diagnostics are run.
   • Normal – Print a moderate amount of output to the system console when diagnostics are run, including the name and results for each test.
   • Max – Print output for each step in the diagnostic test process.
   • Debug – Print extensive debugging output to the system console when diagnostics are run, including the devices being tested and debugging output for each test.
5. In the Mode list box, select one of the following options:
   • Normal (default) – Run diagnostic tests based on the triggers specified in Step 2.
   • Off – Disable all triggers for running diagnostic tests at boot.
6. Click Save.
