Enable UEFI Diagnostics to Run at Boot (Web)

Before You Begin

  • To diagnose Oracle x86 system hardware issues, 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.

    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.

Note:

To determine whether your server is running PC-Check or UEFI Diagnostics, refer to your server administration guide or to the Host Management > Diagnostics page in the Oracle ILOM web interface.

  1. Power off the server:
    1. In the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Power Control.
    2. In the Select Action list box select a Power Off option, and then click save.
  2. From the Oracle ILOM web interface, click Host Management > Diagnostics.

    The Diagnostics page appears.

  3. If the host server is running Oracle ILOM 3.2.4, or a subsequent release, perform the following steps:
    1. In the Mode list box, select the level of diagnostics you want to run.

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

    2. Click Save.

      The Start Diagnostics button is enabled.

    3. Click Start Diagnostics.

      An informational message about controlling diagnostics through the remote console application appears.

    4. Click OK to clear the message and proceed with the diagnostic tests.

      If you chose to run the diagnostic tests in Manual mode, the UEFI Diagnostics test selection screen appears on the host console.

      The Diagnostics Status field indicates the progress of the diagnostic tests.

    5. To safely disrupt the diagnostic tests, click Stop Diagnostics.

      Caution:

      Do not disrupt the test progress by changing the server power state.

  4. If the server is running Oracle ILOM 3.2.1 or 3.2.2, perform the following steps:
    1. In the Run Diagnostics on Boot list box, select the level of diagnostics you want to run.

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

    2. Click Save.

      If you chose to run the diagnostic tests in Manual mode, the UEFI Diagnostics test selection screen appears on the host console.

    3. If you ran UEFI Diagnostics in Manual mode, return the diagnostic test level to Disabled after the tests have concluded.

      You must return the server to Disabled diagnostics mode before you can set the diagnostics mode to Enabled or Extended.
