Usage Information
Before you use this command to run diagnostic test, make sure that the port
extender (PE) stack-unit is offline (offline stack-unitunit number
command). You are prompted to reboot when the offline diagnostics is complete.
The PE unit goes offline and reboots automatically after the test is completed.
Once the test is finished, the diag report is generated, and it is stored in the PE
flash. To view the diag report, use the
show diag pe pe-id stack-unit
unit-number command from C9000 system. The show diag pe command
uploads the TestReport from the PE to the C9000.
The filename of the TestReport is:TestReport-SU-Stack-Unit-Number-PE-
pe-id-Year_Month_Day_Unique-Tag.txt, where SU identifies the PE stack-
unit on which the offline diag test was run, Year_Month_Day is a timestamp to
identify when the offline diag test was run for that unit, and the
Unique Tag is to
identify that specific diag test. Diag test reports on PE are not overwritten. Offline
diag test reports for PE are stored in the following directory: flash://
default_diag_report_dir
. To view the test report, use the show file
flash://filename command.
