The system stores the test script in volatile memory. The test
script is lost when you turn off the system unit or press the halt
button. You can store only one script at a time.
If you use the ls command to list the test scripts for the base
system, the test script you created appears in the test script
list.
Interpreting Test Error Messages
For every error that a test detects, an error message appears on
the screen. Error messages appear in the following format:
?TFL
slot_number / test_name ( n : description ) [ module ].
?TFL indicates that a test reported an error.
slot_number represents the slot number of the module that
reported the error.
test_name represents the name of the individual test that
failed.
n represents a number that indicates which portion of the
test failed.
description represents an additional message that describes
the failure.
module represents the module identification number.
This is a sample error message:
?TFL 3/scsi/cntl (3: cnt xfr) [KN04-BA]
This error message states that the module in slot number 3, the
base system, failed the SCSI controller test. The explanation of
the SCSI controller test in Appendix D states that the message
(3: cnt xfr)
means that the read and write operation reported
a mismatch.
For an explanation of error messages generated by the system
module or memory modules, refer to Appendix D.
