Console Reported Problems
test
The
test
command runs firmware diagnostics for the entire core
system. The tests are run sequentially, and the status of each
subsystem test is displayed to the console terminal as the tests
progress. If a particular device is not available to test, a message
is displayed.
The test script tests devices in the following order:
1. Memory tests (one pass)
2. Read-only tests: DK* disks, DR* disks, MK* tapes, DV*
diskettes
3. Console loopback tests if
lb
argument is specified: COM2
serial port and parallel port
4. VGA console tests—These tests are run only if the console
environment variable is set to ‘‘serial.’’ The VGA console test
displays rows of the letter ‘‘H’’.
5. Network external loopback tests for EW*—This test is run
if a Digital Ethernet controller (EW*) is present. The test
requires that the Ethernet port be terminated or connected
to a live network or the test will fail.
Note
By default, no write tests are performed on disk and tape
drives. Media must be installed to test the diskette drive
and tape drives.
