3-46 Console Commands
The test command syntax is:
t[est][-write][-nowrite "list"][-omit "list"][-t time][-q][dev_arg]
where dev_arg specifies the target device, group of devices, or subsystem
to test. A list of available devices and subsystem mnemonics in the sys-
tem can be obtained by issuing a show configuration, show device, or
show network command. You would then issue the test dev_arg com-
mand to test the desired device. Table 3-6 lists the command options.
If no parameter is specified, the entire system is tested. Note that system
testing performed by the test command is very different from that per-
formed during power-on or reset. To execute systemwide self-test, use the
initialize command.
