Running verification tests to determine issue resolution

An event is always generated against a particular FRU when the library detects an issue. Therefore,
the library provides FRU tests that you can run to determine whether the conditions that caused the
event have been resolved. Running the FRU tests is an important part of ensuring that the system
is working properly.

The library can detect issues under the following contexts:

When the library polls at regular intervals.

When a host or user commands the library to perform an operation (such as occurs with GUI
commands, host inventory, and host move media).

FRU tests are designed to help resolve issues under the second context.

During FRU testing, the library creates operational scenarios to evaluate the functionality of a FRU.
FRU tests attempt to evaluate as many aspects of the FRU as possible, but they might not fully
recreate the conditions that caused the original event. The library cannot recreate all conditions
and, therefore, the library does not provide tests for some FRUs.

The instructions on the event repair page direct you to run a FRU test if an applicable one exists.
If you run the test and the results are all good, the library automatically transitions the event to the
Verified state.

NOTE:

If you cannot run a test, ensure that you complete the repair page instructions and, if

needed, physically examine the FRU. After you determine that the issue is resolved, manually
transition the event to the Closed state. See

“Closing events” (page 206)

. After you close the event,

the library transitions the event to the Verified state if it is able to do so.

You can access the tests in two ways:

On the main LMC display, select Tools

→Verification Tests. From Verification Tests, you can

choose from a variety of verification tests, including the FRU tests.

On Event Details, click FRU Test. The FRU Test button is available only if the event FRU has an
applicable verification test that you can run.

The Verification Tests window appears with the appropriate test selected and ready to start.
