storage mst

The storage mst command runs the Mechanical Stress Test (mst) for the time duration specified by the -time flag and for the -pc (count) iterations. The test reads the blocks sequentially from the device. The default is to run the test once, until all blocks have been tested.

If both -time and -pc flags are specified, the test runs until either the time interval has lapsed, or the count has been reached.

Command Syntax

udiag storage mst { all | <device_name> } [ -time <n> ] [ -pc <n> ]

-time <n>
Specifies the maximum test time in seconds in hexadecimal. The default is 0, which indicates no time limit. The test runs to completion.
-pc <n>
Specifies the maximum number of times to run the test. The default is 1.
