To use these diagnostic tests, you must have the SunVTS software installed on your
system. Refer to the Solaris on Sun Hardware Platform Guide for SunVTS installation
instructions.
Refer to the SunVTS documentation (listed in Table) for instructions on how to run
and monitor these diagnostic tests. These documents are available on the Solaris on
Sun Hardware Collection, which is provided on the Solaris Supplement CD for the
Solaris release on your system.
Using the OpenBoot PROM FCode
Self-Test
The SunATM adapter’s self-test verifies the correct operation of the adapter, and it
can be used to identify hardware problems with the adapter. The self-test is a suite
of tests that reside in the FCode PROM on the adapter.
You can only invoke the FCode self-test diagnostics using the OpenBoot PROM
test or test-all commands. In order to access the OpenBoot PROM, you must
shut down and halt your system.
The adapter’s self-test does not automatically run after you power on or reset the
system, but you can use the self-test any time you want to determine the status of
the hardware. If you encounter an error while running the diagnostic, appropriate
messages will be displayed.
Note – The self-test does not require connection to the network. The self-test will
test the internal loopback up to the adapter’s saturn user network interface (SUNI)
ASIC.
