This command runs a series of demand maintenance tests on all hardware in a
specified group: a carrier, cabinet, port network, PNC (A or B), SPE, circuit pack
or the entire system. When this command is executed, the tests that are run vary
depending on the options chosen and types of hardware in the group. Some tests
are run concurrently to speed execution, so test results for several maintenance
objects may be intermixed.
test hardware-group
This command allows a user to perform a set of hardware diagnostic tests on the
whole system, a carrier, cabinet, spe, or board. The tests vary according to the
configuration of the system and the specified command options.
This command runs a series of tests on all the hardware on the entire system, an
individual carrier, cabinet, spe, or board. The tests vary depending on options
chosen and board types. Each test exercises diagnostics on all the hardware in
the specified hardware group and reports results of the test along with any
possible error codes. Concurrent testing is done to enhance performance,
therefore, test results display on the SAT in the order they are received.
Consequently, test results of one maintenance object may be intermixed with test
results of other maintenance objects.
Because the tests for this command are not destructive, the tests performed on a
particular maintenance object with either the short or the long option may not be
the same as the corresponding demand tests.
A hardware-group command executing in the foreground may be cancelled by
either pressing the
CANCEL
key or by entering the cancel hardware-group
command at a different SAT. However, if the technician wants to cancel a test
hardware-group command running in the background, the cancel
hardware-group command can be entered on any SAT. A canceled test
hardware-group command can be resumed at the point it left off by entering the
resume hardware-group command. Restarts are not allowed for test
hardware-group commands entered with either the all-ports option or the
spe-interchange option.
