Environmental Test (env5test)


env5test Description

env5test exercises and validates the environmental subsytems of the Sun Fire 280R product line. This test contains subtests to exercise a system's fans, keyswitch, LEDs, power supplies and temperature sensors.

This test is not scalable.



Note - Only the 64-bit version of this test is supported.




env5test Test Requirements

You must install the SUNWpiclh, SUNWpiclr, SUNWpiclu, and SUNWpiclx picl packages correctly before running env5test.

Verify that the picld daemon is running by typing the following:


# ps -ef |grep picld
root 100077      1  0   Sep 11 ?       23:40 /usr/lib/picl/picld

If the daemon is not running, run the script to restart it by typing the following:


# /etc/init.d/picld start


env5test Options

To reach the following dialog box, right-click on the test name in the System Map and select Test Parameter Options. If you do not see this test in the System Map, you might need to expand the collapsed groups, or your system might not include the device appropriate to this test. Refer to the SunVTS User's Guide for more details.

TABLE 18-1 env5test Options

Options

Description

Fan Test

Cycles each fan bank in the system and identifies its current speed and state. Displays fault information if the state is not correct. Provides different test coverage for various types of fans based on their properties. Only enabled in Functional test mode.

Keyswitch Status

Displays the current keyswitch position. Enabled in all modes.

Leds Test

Enables or disables the LEDS subtest. Default is Disable. Flashes each individual green or amber LED in the system on, then off, then back to its original state. You can select to test all LEDs (by default) or test by categories. Also specifies how long the LEDs stay on during the exercise. Only enabled in Functional test mode.

Led Type

Sets the type of LED category to be tested. Default is All.

Led Hold Time

Sets the number of seconds that LEDs are turned on during the LED subtest. Values are 0 to 10. Default is 0.

Power Supply Status

Identifies the number of power supplies in the system, the state of each one, and current (I) draw information if applicable. Displays fault information if the state of the power supply is incorrect. Enabled in all modes.

Temperature Status

Identifies the current temperature of temperature sensors in the system and verifies that all temperatures are within normal operating parameters. Enabled in all modes.
