Diagnose
Use this function to diagnose all selected devices for which a diagnostic exists. The purpose of the
diagnostic procedure is to test the target hardware as completely as possible, and if any errors are found,
to isolate to the FRU level. Isolation to the component level is also provided, when possible. Diagnostic
modules are not generally interactive.
To diagnose a selected device or devices, the target device(s) must not only support diagnostics, it must
also currently be idle.
When you first start to diagnose a device(s), the device(s) state on the device map will be changed to
"RUNNING".
If the operation requires you to interact with the interface, the device state will change to "Query Pending".
If the UI started the tool, the query will display automatically. If the UI did not start the tool, select the
Display Query function to display the query.
Once the diagnose operation has completed, this state will change to "Success", "WARNING", or
"FAILURE", as appropriate.
You should then consult the Fail Log for information on tool failures, and the Act Log for all other tool
activity information.

Exercise
Use this function to exercise all selected devices for which an exerciser exists. The purpose of the
exerciser procedure is to stress the target hardware in a way that meets or exceeds the stress typically
placed on that hardware in the customer environment. Exercisers are not generally interactive.
To exercise a selected device or devices, the target device(s) must not only support exercise operations, it
must also currently be idle.
When you first start to exercise a device(s), the device(s) state on the device map will be changed to
"RUNNING".
If the operation requires you to interact with the interface, the device state will change to "Query Pending".
If the UI started the tool, the query will display automatically. If the UI did not start the tool, you must
select the Display Query function to display the query.
Once the exercise operation has completed, this state will change to "Success", "WARNING", or
"FAILURE", as appropriate.
You should then consult the Fail Log for information on tool failures, and the Act Log for all other tool
activity information.
