3. Click OK to run the test. The Quick Diagnostic Test window appears displaying the PCI Loopback and Internal Loopback test results. Running a Power On Self Test (POST) The POST is a firmware test normally performed on an adapter after a reset or restart. The POST does not require any configuration to run. (Not available in read-only mode.) To run the POST: 1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port on which you want to run the POST. 2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Power-on Self Test (POST). A warning dialog box appears. 3. Click OK. A POST window appears displaying POST information. Using Beaconing The beaconing feature enables you to force a specific adapter's LEDs to blink in a particular sequence. The blinking pattern acts as a beacon, making it easier to locate a specific adapter among racks of other adapters. (Not available in read-only mode.) When you enable beaconing, the two LEDs blink rapidly in unison for 24 seconds, after which the LEDs report the adapter health status for 8 seconds. When the 8 seconds are up, the adapter returns to beaconing mode. This cycle repeats indefinitely until you disable this feature or you reset the adapter. Note: The beaconing buttons are disabled if the selected adapter does not support beaconing. To enable or disable beaconing: 1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port whose LEDs you want to set. 2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Beacon On or Beacon Off. Creating Diagnostic Dumps The diagnostic dump feature enables you to create a "dump" file for a selected adapter. Dump files contain various information such as firmware version, driver version and so on, that is particularly useful when troubleshooting an adapter. (Not available in read-only mode.) Caution: Disruption of service can occur if a diagnostic dump is run during I/O activity. To start a diagnostic dump: 1. From the discovery-tree, select an adapter port whose diagnostic information you want to dump. 2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Diagnostic Dump. The Diagnostic Dump dialog box appears. You can specify how many files you want to save using the Files Retained counter. Click Delete Existing Dump Files if you want to remove existing dump files from your system.

Loopback and Internal Loopback test results.

Running a Power On Self Test (POST)

The POST is a firmware test normally performed on an adapter after a reset or restart. The POST does

not require any configuration to run. (Not available in read-only mode.)

To run the POST:

From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port on which you want to run the POST.

Select the

Diagnostics

tab and click

Power-on Self Test (POST)

. A warning dialog box

appears.

Click

Using Beaconing

The beaconing feature enables you to force a specific adapter’s LEDs to blink in a particular sequence.

The blinking pattern acts as a beacon, making it easier to locate a specific adapter among racks of other

adapters. (Not available in read-only mode.)

When you enable beaconing, the two LEDs blink rapidly in unison for 24 seconds, after which the LEDs

report the adapter health status for 8 seconds. When the 8 seconds are up, the adapter returns to

beaconing mode. This cycle repeats indefinitely until you disable this feature or you reset the adapter.

To enable or disable beaconing:

From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port whose LEDs you want to set.

Select the

Diagnostics

tab and click

Beacon On

Beacon Off

Creating Diagnostic Dumps

The diagnostic dump feature enables you to create a “dump” file for a selected adapter. Dump files

contain various information such as firmware version, driver version and so on, that is particularly useful

when troubleshooting an adapter. (Not available in read-only mode.)

To start a diagnostic dump:

From the discovery-tree, select an adapter port whose diagnostic information you want to dump.

Select the

Diagnostics

tab and click

Diagnostic Dump

. The Diagnostic Dump dialog box

appears. You can specify how many files you want to save using the Files Retained counter.

Click

Delete Existing Dump Files

if you want to remove existing dump files from your system.

Note:

The beaconing buttons are disabled if the selected adapter does not support

beaconing.

Caution:

Disruption of service can occur if a diagnostic dump is run during I/O activity.
