Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks Configure boot-time system tests Configure boot-time system tests (self tests) for an nPartition by using the following procedure: Configuring boot-time system tests [EFI shell] From the EFI Shell environment use the boottest command to manage the self test configuration for the local nPartition. Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to configure. Login to the management processor and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. Step 2. At the EFI Shell environment use the boottest command to list, enable, or disable boot-time system tests for the local nPartition.

nPartition-level tasks

Configure boot-time system tests
Configure boot-time system tests (self tests) for an nPartition by using the following
procedure:
Configuring boot-time system tests [EFI shell]
From the EFI Shell environment use the
boottest
command to manage the self test
configuration for the local nPartition.
Step 1.
Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose boot-time tests you want to
configure.
Login to the management processor and enter
CO
to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the
main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the
Exit
option from the sub-menus until
you return to the screen with the
EFI Boot Manager
heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the
EFI Shell
menu option to access the EFI
Shell environment.
Step 2.
At the EFI Shell environment use the
boottest
command to list, enable, or disable
boot-time system tests for the local nPartition.
To display the list of supported boot-time system tests, enter the
boottest -h
command
at the EFI Shell prompt.
Shell> boottest -h
Usage: BOOTTEST [on|off] | [[test] [on|off]]
test : early_cpu, late_cpu, platform, chipset
io_hw, mem_init, mem_test
Shell>
You can enable or disable any of the boot-time tests by specifying the name of the test to
boottest
. The test names include:
early_cpu
,
late_cpu
,
platform
,
chipset
,
io_hw
,
mem_init
, and
mem_test
.
System tests: Configuring and deconfiguring tests from the EFI Shell
•
boottest
— Display the current boot-time system test configuration.
•
boottest testname
— Display the current setting for the specified test (
testname
).
For example:
boottest mem_test
displays the memory selftest settings.
•
boottest on
— Enable all boot-time system tests.
Enabling all tests is recommended.
•
boottest off
— Disable all boot-time system tests.
Disabling all selftests is usually not recommended; ordinarily all tests are enabled.
