Testing 7
1.3.1 System Exerciser Diagnostic Commands
Table 1–2 lists the system exerciser diagnostic commands. When running
TEST 0 or TEST 101, the exerciser automatically stops after about 5
minutes and the halt message (06 HLT INST) is displayed. This halt
message is normal for these two tests.
Table 1–2 System Exerciser Diagnostic Commands
Test Description of Commands
T 0 Runs customer mode system exerciser. No loopback connectors are
needed. Removable media must be loaded in the RX23 diskette
drive for the exerciser to recognize the drive. The TZ30 does not
require media to be loaded. The exerciser tests each device once
sequentially, then tests them simultaneously, and stops when the
slowest device finishes (about 5 minutes).
T 101 Runs field service mode system exerciser. Loopbacks and
removable media are required. It exercises each device once
sequentially, then exercises them simultaneously, and stops when
the slowest device finishes (about 5 to 8 minutes). Do not stop the
exerciser before it is finished.
T 102 Runs field service mode system exerciser. Loopbacks and
removable media are required. It exercises each device once
sequentially and then exercises them simultaneously until
you press
Ctrl C
to terminate the tests. Once the tests are
terminated, an extended summary for some of the tests can be
displayed by pressing
Return
. Continue pressing
Return
to
display more extended summaries. Press
Ctrl C
a second time
to terminate the extended summary which will bring you back to
the console prompt >>>. Note that the exerciser takes up to 30
seconds to stop after you press
Ctrl C
. Do not stop the exerciser
until every device is exercised twice (second pass). Also, do not
press the halt button to stop the exerciser.

Individual device testing. Loopbacks and removable media are
required. Runs system exerciser diagnostics on individual devices
(TEST 6 and TEST 7 are considered individual devices even
though they test several drives). This test allows you to test
individual devices by entering the test number of the device at a
second prompt. This individual testing saves time since you do
not have to wait for all of the other devices to finish testing.
