Diagnostic Error Message Formats
If any port fails a diagnostic test, it is marked BAD in the display. To retest a
port that has been marked BAD, clear the port and set the port to OK using the
diagClearError (port#)
command. This command clears the port status only and
does not clear the logs or change the port’s condition. The
diagClearError (port#)
command should only be used during diagnostic procedures to reset a bad port
for retesting. Some messages contain the following abbreviations:
■
sb = should be
■
er = bits in error
NOTE:
If you run the portStatsShow or the diagShow command before you run a test,
errors can display as a result of the normal synchronization process. These errors should
be addressed if the number of errors found increases when running the portStatsShow
command again.
