The Tests
These are keywords for the hardware tests that are executed by processor-dependent code (PDC) or
firmware upon a boot or reboot of the system.
all All the listed tests.
SELFTESTS
Includes the early_cpu and late_cpu tests. This is equivalent to the SELFTESTS option
in the boot console handler (BCH) service menu. The difference is that setboot can control
the subtests separately, while BCH cannot.
early_cpu
When on, run firmware, cache, and CPU-specific tests. Performed out of firmware. When off,
skip the tests.
late_cpu
When on, run firmware, cache, and CPU-specific tests. Performed out of memory and therefore
faster than the early_cpu tests. When off, skip the tests.
FASTBOOT
Includes the full_memory and PDH tests. This is equivalent to the
FASTBOOT option in the
boot console handler (BCH) service menu. The difference is that
setboot can control the sub-
tests separately, while BCH cannot.
Note: When
FASTBOOT is on, the tests are performed, and vice versa.
full_memory
When on, run write/read-write/read tests on all memory locations. When off, only initialize
memory.
PDH Processor-dependent hardware. When on, test a checksum of read-only memory (ROM). When
off, do not.
CEC Central electronic complex. When on, test low-level bus converters and I/O chips. When off, do
not. CEC is not available on all systems.
Options
The setboot command supports the following options:
(none)
Display the current values for the primary and alternate boot paths and the autoboot and
autosearch flags. See example 2 in the "EXAMPLES: General" section.
-p primary-path
Set the primary boot path variable to primary-path. See ioscan(1M) for the correct format.
-a alternate-path
Set the alternate boot path variable to alternate-path. See ioscan(1M) for the correct format.
-s onoff
Enable or disable the autosearch sequence.
-b onoff
Enable or disable the autoboot sequence.
-v Display the current values for the primary and alternate boot paths and the autoboot and
autosearch flags and a status table of the SpeedyBoot tests. See example 1 in the "EXAMPLES:
SpeedyBoot" section.
-t testname=value
Change the value for the test testname in stable storage to value for all following boots. The
changes are reflected in the Current and NEXT BOOT columns of the setboot -v display.
testname can be one of the following keywords, as described above in the "DESCRIPTION:
SpeedyBoot Tests" section.
