Table 4. HSS Diagnostic Commands
Command
Description
xtbte_ata
Perform system stress test to ensure that all logical endpoints go to
all other end points using BTE put and/or get transactions.
xtbte_ato
Runs a number of applications individually or collectively as a suite
to ensure that a system is ready for executing jobs after hardware
or software upgrades or after power cycles.
xtfma_ata
Ensures that all logical endpoints go to all other end points using
FMA put and/or get transactions.
xtfma_ato
Ensures that all logical endpoints target one end point using FMA
Put and/or Get transactions. A round robin approach is used to step
through each end point in the configuration.
xtfma_amo
Checks all AMO operations using an All-to-All algorithm. It tests
AMOs with PUT (non-fetching) and GET (fetching) attributes.
xtfbc
Ensures that both the FMA and BTE logic blocks are tested. The
test relies on the Generic Network Interface (GNI) API to directly
communicate with the Cray network application-specific integrated
circuit (ASIC).
xtbte_perf
Determines the one hop connections between nodes. It then
performs BTE transfers over these one hop connections and
determines the time taken to do so. The time duration is checked
against an expected value for the link type. The actual data
transferred is also verified.

Hardware Supervisory System (HSS) Environments
The HSS infrastructure environment is composed of a number of daemons, processes, and commands that help
control and monitor physical system components.
HSS daemons supported on Urika-GX are listed in the following tables:
