SPARC T8-4 Server Service Manual

Configure POST

1. Log in to Oracle ILOM.

   See Log In to Oracle ILOM (Service).

2. Set /HOST/diag to the value that corresponds to the POST configuration you want to run.

   This example sets the /HOST/diag default_level to min, which configures POST to run according to other parameter values.

   -> set /HOST/diag default_level=min
   Set default_level to min
   

   For possible values for the default_level parameter, type:

   -> help /HOST/diag
   
   /HOST/diag : Manage Host Power On Self Test Diagnostics
   
   Targets:
   
   Properties:
   default_level : Diag level in the default cause (no error or hw change)
   default_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   default_level : User role required for set = r
   
   default_verbosity : Diag verbosity in the default cause (no error or hw change)
   default_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   default_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   error_level : Diag level when running after an error reset
   error_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   error_level : User role required for set = r
   
   error_verbosity : Diag verbosity when running after an error reset
   error_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   error_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   hw_change_level : Diag level when running after a hw change
   hw_change_level : Possible values = off, min, max
   hw_change_level : User role required for set = r
   
   hw_change_verbosity : Diag verbosity when running after a hw change
   hw_change_verbosity : Possible values = none, min, normal, max
   hw_change_verbosity : User role required for set = r
   
   ->
   

   ---

   Note -  When the verbosity value is set to none, the console may not display any POST test status for extended periods of time on certain configurations.

   ---

3. (Optional) Set /HOST/diag to determine the diagnostic level after an error reset and after a hardware change.

   To set error_level, to max, and to set hw_change_level to max, type:

   -> set /HOST/diag error_level=max
   -> set /HOST/diag hw_change_level=max
   

   Refer to the section on setting the SPARC host keyswitch state in the Oracle ILOM Administrator’s Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 4.0.x for a description of parameters and values.

4. View the current values for settings.

   Example:

   -> show /HOST/diag
   /HOST/diag
      Targets:
    
      Properties:
           error_reset_level = max
           error_reset_verbosity = normal
           hw_change_level = max
           hw_change_verbosity = normal
           level = min
           mode = normal
           power_on_level = max
           power_on_verbosity = normal
           trigger = hw_change error-reset
           verbosity = normal
    
      Commands:
           cd
           set
           show
   ->
