Running the Ethernet FCode Selftest Diagnostic

To run the ethernet diagnostics, you must first bring the system to a stop at the
OpenBoot prompt after issuing a reset. If you do not reset the system, the diagnostic
tests may cause the system to hang.

For more information about the OpenBoot commands in this section, refer to the
OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference manual.

1. Shut down the system.

Use the standard shut down procedures described in Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC
Peripherals
.

2. At the

ok

prompt, set the

auto-boot?

configuration variable to false.

3. Reset the system.

4. Type

show-devs

to display the list of devices.

You should see lines in the list of devices, similar to the example below, specific to
the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter:

In this example, the

SUNW,qfe@

x

,1

entries identify the device paths to the four

Ethernet channels.

5. Type the following to put the OpenBoot PROM into diagnostic mode:

ok setenv auto-boot? false

ok reset-all

ok show-devs

. . .

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1

/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1
