Tests—provides the capability to test functionality of all the major pieces of
hardware in the server, including the following tests:
— Quick test—provides a predetermined script where each piece of hardware is
exercised and requires no user intervention. This test script is designed to run
quickly.
— Complete test—provides a predetermined script where each piece of
hardware is tested. You can select scripts with interactive or no interactive
tests.
— Custom test—allows you to decide which tests to run. Some of the tests
selected may require user intervention.
You can select from the following test modes:
— Interactive mode—provides maximum control over the testing process. You
determine whether the test was passed or failed and may be prompted to
insert or remove devices.
— Unattended mode—does not display prompts. If errors are found, they are
displayed when testing is complete.
•
Status—allows the user to monitor the progress of tests while they are being
performed.
•
Log—summarizes any errors that are detected. If the Enterprise Diagnostics
LX32 utility detects an error during a test, it displays the type of error, error code,
and a recommended repair action if one exists. The following logs are available:
—
Log
tab—lists tests run on the system, the numbers of times each test has
run, the number of errors found on each test, and the total run time of each
test.
—
Error
tab—lists all errors found on the server with their error codes.
— Integrated Management Log—lists all server management events logged into
the server’s NVRAM.
•
Online Help—provides information on using Enterprise Diagnostics LX32, such
as the Tab interface, overview categories, test mode descriptions, device test
descriptions, logging capabilities, and failure information.
Each of these items allows you to gather different types of information about the
system.
