Enable PC-Check to Run at Boot (CLI)

Before You Begin

• To diagnose hardware issues on Oracle x86 systems, you need the Reset and Host Control (r) role enabled.
• If you choose to run diagnostics in Manual mode, or if you want to monitor the progress of diagnostic tests in Enabled or Extended mode, do one of the following:
  • Start a host console redirection.
  • Set up a serial console.
  • Connect a keyboard, video, and mouse to your system.

    For details about launching a redirection session, see Using Remote KVMS Consoles for Host Server Redirection.

  Note:

  Alternatively, if you chose to run diagnostics in Enabled or Extended mode, the test output files are available for viewing by Oracle Service in Snapshot.

1. Navigate to the /HOST/diag target by typing:

   cd /HOST/diag

2. Specify the diagnostic test level to run by issuing the following command:

   set state=[disabled|enabled|extended|manual]

   For details about diagnostics levels, see Selecting a Diagnostic Test Level.

3. Power cycle the server.
   1. Type: stop /System
   2. Type: start /System

      The diagnostic tests run upon powering on the server.

4. If you chose to run diagnostics in Manual mode, select Show Results Summary in the PC-Check menu to view the output files.
5. Return the server to normal operation mode by typing set /HOST/diag state=disabled.
