Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the hardware and the
firmware including tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and
cables in use.

Initiate diagnostic tests with the command line, using a Telnet session or a terminal setup with a serial
connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables to allow
diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. For information on
available diagnostic tests, enter diagHelp.

All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps.

CAUTION:

Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic
testing.

For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the latest version of the HP StorageWorks
Fabric OS administrator guide,
or enter help followed by the name of the diagnostic test.
