HP NC-Series Broadcom 10 GbE adapter diagnostics
The eDiag utility operates in an MS-DOS environment. It includes a DOS extender (PMODE/W) that is
embedded into the executable and provides access to memory above 1MB.
Please note that diagnostics are not available for adapters that have FlexNIC enabled.
To execute the user diagnostic utility in DOS, complete the following steps:
1.
Change to the apps\diags\ediag folder where the softpaq was extracted.
2.
From your DOS prompt, enter the following executable file to run the eDiag tool:
uediag.exe
Command lines are performed by default on all devices installed on the machine. If the devices are
selected by –dev or –c options, the command line performs on the selected devices only.
For command line options –fnvm, -fbc, -fl2b, -fipmi, and -fump, the command line is performed on the
primary devices only because these are shared options between ports.
For example, on a two-port adapter, the –fnvm option is performed on port 0 only because there is
no need to repeat the non-volatile memory (NVM) programming on port 1.
The following table provides command line options that are the available in the eDiag diagnostic tool.
For example, enter the following command line options:
eDiag –log results.log –rc regress.tcl
The diagnostic utility logs the test execution results in a file called results.log and specifies the
regress.tcl script after startup.
Options
Description
-rc <script>
Specify a script to source right after startup.
-I <iteration#>
Specify how many iterations tests need to run (Default is 1).
-ver
Display information on eDiag version and exits.
-log <logfile>
Log the tests' execution results into the specified file.
-b10eng
Enter eDiag engineering mode, a prompt will be shown. The default mode is
manufacture mode, in which nictest tests will start automatically.
-no_pci
Do not use the PCI. In this mode, the user can enable the Debug UART for GRC
access instead of PCI.
-noinit
Start eDiag without pre-selecting any device. (Default selected device is 1)
-dev <device#>
Select device number that the tests will be running on. In manufacture mode, tests
will run on both devices. In engineering mode, enables to select a device.
-pwd <password>
Specify password to update MAC address and NVM. Otherwise, user is not
authorized to use –m, -mac, -iscsimac, -rdma and –nvm options.
-mac <mac>
Specify the primary MAC address (in format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
-iscsimac <mac>
Specify the iSCSI MAC address (in format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
-rdmamac <mac>
Specify the RDMA MAC address (in format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
-m
Interactive add the MAC addresses (primary and iSCSI MAC addresses for both
devices).
-autom
Automatically generate iSCSI and secondary MAC address.
