Hard File Smart Test
Use the Hard File Smart Test when the system management tool has detected a
hard file SMART alert.
The Smart test performs the following tasks:
Interrogates IDE devices for support of the SMART instruction set.
Issues an
ENABLE SMART
command to make sure that SMART functionality is
active.
Checks the
SMART RETURN STATUS
command to determine if any thresholds have
been exceeded.
If thresholds have been exceeded, an error message is shown, and the test fails. If
no SMART is supported by the drive, the test returns with N/A.
IBM Fixed Disk Optimized Test
The IBM Fixed Disk Optimized Test provide the capability to identify particular
areas of a hard file which fails during testing. This test also provide a method of
correcting certain types of errors.
To select the Fixed Disk Optimized Test:
1. Select the diagnostic option on the toolbar and press
Enter
.
2. Select
Fixed Disk Optimized Test.
3. Select
Hard Drives - NORMAL TEST
to run a complete hard file test.
4. Select
Hard Drives - PRESENCE TEST
to run a test to check the drive
controller and report any SMART information that the drive has detected.
