SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Service Manual • June 2011

▼ Run POST in Maximum Mode

This procedure describes how to run POST when you want maximum testing, as in
the case when you are troubleshooting a server, or verifying a hardware upgrade or
repair.

1. Access the ILOM prompt.

See

“Connecting to the Service Processor” on page 25

.

2. Set the virtual keyswitch to diag so that POST will run in service mode.

3. Reset the system so that POST runs.

There are several ways to initiate a reset.

EXAMPLE: show Command Output on

page 33

shows a reset using a power cycle command sequence. For other methods,

refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5440 Server Administration Guide.

Note –

The server takes about one minute to power off. Use the show /HOST

command to determine when the host has been powered off. The console will display
status=Powered Off

4. Switch to the system console to view the POST output:

If no faults were detected, the system will boot.

EXAMPLE: show Command Output on page 33

depicts abridged POST output.

-> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=Diag

Set ‘keyswitch_state’ to ‘Diag’

-> start /SP/console
