Setting Up Diagnostic Test Options
Setting Up a Test Failure Error Action
There are two error action options in the event of a test failure:

Stop Test – Does not log the error and aborts the test. No further tests are run.

Ignore – Logs the error and proceeds with the next test cycle.
Setting Up Test Cycles
Specify one of the following test cycles:

Select an established cycle count by clicking on the corresponding radio button.

Enter a custom cycle count in the blank field in the Test Cycles area.

Set the test to run until you manually click Stop Test, by selecting the Infinite
radio button.
Setting Up a Test Pattern
Enter a custom test pattern to be used in tests that transfer data. The test pattern can be
up to eight hexadecimal bytes.
Test Status
The Test Status area shows how many completed cycles of each test ran, as well as the
number of errors. Periodic test feedback, consisting of the current loopback test/cycle
plus the completion status of each type of test, is displayed in the Test Status area. Click
Show Test Logs to view and save the log file (Figure 9-14).
Saving the Log File
You can save the test log to a log file for later viewing or printing. When data is written
to a saved file, the data is appended at the end of the file. Each entry has a two-line
header that contains the identifier of the adapter being tested and the date and time of
the test. Over time, the data accumulates to form a chronological history of the
diagnostics performed on the adapter.

The default location is the OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter install
directory on your local drive.

In the VMware Server: There is no default directory for ESXi.
After writing an entry into the log, you are prompted to clear the display.
Figure 9-14 shows the Diagnostic Test log entries that will be saved to the log file.
