SunVTS 5.0 Test Reference Manual

Chapter 23 Environmental Test (`env5test`)

env5test exercises and validates the environmental subsytems of the Sunfire 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

Table 23-1 env5test Subtests


Subtest	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	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.
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.
