Setting Diagnostic Tests to Run
Oracle ILOM provides a set of server-specific diagnostic properties that enable system administrators to control whether system diagnostic tests are run at startup. These diagnostic properties are configurable from either the Oracle ILOM CLI or web interface. For further information about these properties, see the following tables:
- Table 8-3 x86 Server SP Diagnostics Properties
- Table 8-4 Legacy SPARC Systems Host Diagnostic Properties (M6, M5, T5 and earlier)
- Table 8-5 Newer SPARC Systems Host Diagnostic Properties (M7, T7 and later)
- Table 8-6 Newer SPARC Systems SP Diagnostic Properties (M7, T7 and later)

Generate NMI button ( |
No value |
This option, when enabled, sends a non-maskable interrupt to the host operating system. Note. Depending on the host operating system configuration this action might cause the operating system to either: crash, stop responding, or wait for external debugger input. CLI Syntax to Generate NMI: set /HOST/generate_host_nmi=true |

---|---|---|
Property | Default | Description |
Default Level ( |
Level = Off |
Level: Off | Min | Max Specify the appropriate diagnostic behavior in the event of a routine server power cycle (power off/on) or a server reset. By default, the Default Level for POST is set to Off. The POST Default Level property does not apply to error-invoked resets or hardware change events.
CLI Syntax: set /SP/diag default_level= off|min|max |
HW Change ( |
Level = Max |
Level: Max | Min|Off Specify the appropriate diagnostic behavior in the event of a server power-cord-cycle, server top cover removal, or FRU (field-replaceable unit) replacement. By default, the HW Change Level for POST is set to Max. A server power-cord-cycle refers to when the power cords are removed, replaced, or when the power is first applied to server.
