Oracle^® ILOM User's Guide for System Monitoring and Diagnostics Firmware Release 4.0.x

Enable SP Diagnostics to Run on Newer SPARC Systems (Web)

Before You Begin

• The Reset and Host control (r) role is required to modify the SPARC diagnostic properties in Oracle ILOM on SPARC systems.

• The Steps in this procedure apply to newer SPARC servers such as T7, M7, and later SPARC series servers.

• Oracle ILOM firmware version 3.2.5.5 or later.

To enable SPARC diagnostics tests to run, do the following:

1. Navigate to the SP Diagnostic properties:
   • Web:

     In the Oracle ILOM web interface, click System Management > Diagnostics.

     The Diagnostics page appears.

   • CLI

     In the CLI, type: cd /SP/diag

2. Perform one of the following:
   • Web:

     In the Diagnostics page, configure the following properties and click Save.

     • Default Level [Off (default), Min, or Max] — Specify the appropriate diagnostic behavior in the event of a routine server power cycle (power off/on) or a server reset.

       ---

       Note -  The POST Default Level property does not apply to error-invoked resets or hardware change events.

       ---

     • HW Change [Off, Min, or Max (default)] — Specify the appropriate diagnostic behavior in the event of a server power-cord-cycle, server top cover removal, or FRU (field-replaceable unit) replacement.

       ---

       Note -  A server power-cord-cycle refers to when the power cords are removed, replaced, or when the power is first applied to server.

       ---

     where: [Off, Min, and Max]

     • Off — Prevent POST from running

     • Min — Run a basic suite of diagnostic tests

     • Max — Run a basic suite of diagnostic tests, plus extensive processor and memory tests.

   • CLI:

     In the CLI, issue the set command to configure the applicable host diagnostic properties:

     set default_level=[off, min, max] hw_change=[off, min, max]
