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 in Oracle ILOM 5.1 Administrator’s Guide.

    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:

    cd /HOST/diag

  2. From the Oracle ILOM CLI, type the following command to specify the level of diagnostics to run:

    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 are run when you power 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.
