Performing Pc-Check Diagnostic Tests
If you are having a problem with your system, you can use the Pc-Check diagnostic tests to diagnose and possibly solve the problem.
The Pc-Check diagnostics can test and detect problems on all motherboard components, drives, ports, and slots. You can access and execute this program from ILOM.
There are three options for running Pc-Check:
Manual – Runs Pc-Check in manual mode and brings you to a Pc-Check menu.
Enabled – Runs basic diagnostics and takes about 3 minutes.
Extended – Runs detailed diagnostics and takes about 30 minutes.
The default for Run Diagnostics on Boot is Disabled, which means that Pc-Check does not run when you boot the server. The other Pc-Check levels, Enabled, Extended, and Manual, will run Pc-Check automatically when the server boots.
The only way you can see the results of Pc-Check diagnosis is to run Pc-Check in Manual mode. The output is displayed on a monitor or serial console connected to the system. See Viewing the Pc-Check Results. The results of the automatic tests are also written to nonvolatile memory on the SP, where Oracle Services can access them.
