Use the following steps to test the read and write capabilities of a
specific disk drive:
1. From a host console, dismount the logical unit that contains the disk
drive you want to test.
2. Connect a terminal to the maintenance port of the controller that
accesses the disk drive you want to test.
3. Run DILX with the following command:
RUN DILX
4. Decline the auto-configure option so that you can specify the disk drive
to test.
Tip Use the auto-configure option if you want to test the read and
write capabilities of every disk drive in the subsystem.
5. Decline the default settings.
6. Enter the number of minutes you want the DILX Basic Function test to

summaries.
