Current The current enablement of each test.
on means the test is normally executed on
each boot.
off means the test is normally omitted on each boot.
partial
means some of the subtests are normally executed on each boot. On Itanium-based
platform any test modified using the
-T option will be reflected in Current.
Supported Whether the test is supported by the system firmware.
yes means the test is sup-
ported.
no means the test is not supported.
partial means some of the sub-
tests are supported. On Itanium-based Platform this Column is not supported.
Default The default values for each test.
on
, off, and partial are the same as for
Current.
NEXT BOOT The values for each test that will be used on the next boot. If they are different
from Current, the Current values will be reestablished after the next boot.
on,
off, and partial are the same as for Current. On Itanium-based Platform
this Column is same as that of Current and hence not displayed separately.
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 can-
not.
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 on PA-RISC Platform. Includes the
Platform and Full_memory tests on Itanium-based Platform. This is
equivalent to the FASTBOOT option in the boot console handler (BCH) service
menu. The difference is that setboot can control the subtests 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. Supported only on PA-RISC Platform.
Platform When on, enables general platform hardware tests. When off, do not. Supported
only on Itanium-based Platform.
Full_memory When on, Enables full destructive memory tests. When off, do not. Supported
only on Itanium-based Platform.
PDH Processor-dependent hardware. When on, test a checksum of read-only memory
(ROM). When off, do not. Supported only on PA-RISC Platform.
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. Supported only on PA-RISC
Platform.
Memory_init When on, Enables full destructive memory tests. When off, do not. Supported
only on Itanium-based Platform.
IO_HW IO Hardware. When on, Enables system firmware, or EFI drivers to perform all
the tests of IO hardware(boot devices only). When off, do not. Supported only on
Itanium-based Platform.
Chipset When on, Enables Chipset tests. When off, do not. Supported only on Itanium-
based Platform.
