A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results:
Passed:
The test was completed without any errors.
Failed:
The test detected an error.
User Aborted:
You stopped the test before it was completed.
Not Applicable:
You attempted to test a device that is not present in the blade
server.
Aborted:
The test could not proceed because of the blade server configuration.
Warning:
The test could not be run. There was no failure of the hardware that was
being tested, but there might be a hardware failure elsewhere, or another problem
prevented the test from running; for example, there might be a configuration
problem, or the hardware might be missing or is not being recognized.
The result is followed by an error code or other additional information about the
