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]

      For further property details, type: help /sp/diag
