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 an SSH session or a serial connection to the switch
via OneView. 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
or
portcfgdport
.
All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 4 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 16 Gbps, and 32Gbps.
CAUTION:
Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit/receive link speed during diagnostic
testing.
For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the latest version of the
Fabric OS Administrator
Guide
, or enter
help
followed by the name of the diagnostic test.
