Diagnostics using the BCU
The purpose of diagnostic commands is to evaluate the integrity of the system hardware. Be sure to
disable the port before running any type of port diagnostics. In addition, it is advisable that you do
not perform other operations on the adapter while running HCM or BCU diagnostics.
NOTE
You must disable the port prior to executing the loopback test. You must disable the adapter prior to
executing the memtest.
