Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide 707
Runs a suite of diagnostic tests on all switches in a fabric.
Synopsis
systemverification [-parameters | -short] [[-fru type] -unit id]
Availability
admin
Description
Use this command to run a comprehensive, system-wide test of all switches in a system. The command
initiates a burn-in run on all switches within the current system. The optional -fru and -unit
parameters allow you to focus the testing to a single blade in a multiblade system.
The run can be terminated by issuing a Ctrl-C from the initiating terminal. All of the burn-in features are
operational during the systemVerification command. The burninErrShow displays the stored
burn-in errlogs; the logs by blade are saved in /var/log/verify.slot files. On fixed-port-count
products, the slot defaults to 0.
The command monitors the testing and terminates the burn-in activity if all the elements fail. Each failing
slot only outputs the first observed failure. Because this monitoring is a polling activity, the command
number output might not be the exact command number that failed.
After the testing terminates, the burninStatus command output displays, and the burninErrShow
messages for the failing slots displays. If all slots pass, then only the burninStatus command output
displays.
The burn-in tests are designed to operate with switches connected to a fabric and restrict the frame
loopback to inside the unit. If loopback plugs are installed in all ports, the burn-in parameter
min_lb_mode can be changed to 1 to test the Fibre Channel through the loopback plug.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
systemVerification
-parameters Invokes the diagSetCycle command before starting the
burn-in run. This allows users to modify the burn-in parameters
prior to the run. These diagSetCycle parameters are copied
to all switches in the system and override the original settings in
the database. If the diagSetCycle parameters are not
specified, the run uses the previously stored values. This option
does not perform a burninErrClear operation prior to
starting the testing operation.
-short Sets the burn-in parameters that control the number of frames
to 1. The primary use for this command is software regression
testing, or quick validation that all hardware is operational. The
shorter test cycle does not have enough test time to detect
intermittent errors. This option performs a burninErrClear
operation prior to starting the testing operation.
-fru type Use to focus testing on a single FRU in the system. The valid
options for type are BLADE, PS, FAN, and WWN; however,
only BLADE is supported at this time. Since only one FRU type is
supported, this parameter is optional, but -unit is required for
single FRU testing.
