SELFTEST
Flushes the data from the specified controller write-back cache (if present) and shuts
down the controller. It then restarts the controller in looping self-test mode. Press the
controller reset (//) button to take the controller out of self-test mode.
Syntax
SELFTEST controller
Parameters
controller
Identifies which controller is to perform the SELFTEST controller command. You
must specify THIS_CONTROLLER (the one connected to the CLI maintenance
terminal) or OTHER_CONTROLLER.
Switches
The following switches are available to the SELFTEST controller command:
•
IGNORE_ERRORS and NOIGNORE_ERRORS
•
IMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN and NOIMMEDIATE_SHUTDOWN
These switches are described in the following paragraphs:
IGNORE_ERRORS
NOIGNORE_ERRORS (default)
Instruct the controller how to respond to write-back cache errors.
CAUTION: The IGNORE_ERRORS switch might cause data to remain in write-back
cache. Do not perform any hardware changes until the controller flushes the cache.
•
Specify IGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller to ignore any write-back
cache errors. Such errors can result from data contained within write-back
cache unable to be written to the devices or lost data errors.
•
Specify NOIGNORE_ERRORS to instruct the controller not to run the
self-test program if the write-back cache errors are detected.
