Platform Diagnostics platform_check tests
You can run platform_check commands on an active system using one of these methods:
- By typing platform_check <test-name>.
- By typing tmsh run util platform_check <test-name>
Run all platform_check tests
You use the platform_check test without any options to run all
tests.
If the output is Overall Platform Health: PASS, the platform passed all
tests. If the output is FAIL, you should consider taking the system out
of production to run the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
Check sensors
You can use the platform_check sensors test to check the system,
power supply units, and fan tray sensor values while the system is in production.
Note: Supported only on
i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms.
If the output is PASS, the sensor values are within
acceptable limits. If the output is FAIL, you should consider
taking the system out of production to run the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
Check devices on the PCI bus
You can use the platform_check pci test to check that expected
devices on the PCI bus are present, and whether the width or speed is not what is
expected, while the system is in production.
If the output is PASS, the PCI devices passed the test. If the output
is FAIL, you should consider taking the system out of production to run
the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
Check Always-On Management (AOM)
You can use the platform_check aom test to check for Always-On
Management (AOM) errors while the system is in production.
Note: Supported only on
i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms.
If the output is PASS, the AOM passed the test. If the output is
FAIL, you should consider taking the system out of production to run
the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
Check the System Event Log
You use the platform_check sel test to check the System Event Log
(SEL) for entries with a problematic security level while the system is in production.
Note: Supported only on
i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms.
If the output is PASS, the SEL passed the test. If the output is
FAIL, you should consider taking the system out of production to run
the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests. You can review the SEL logs in
/var/log.
Check the storage drive
You can use the platform_check drive test to verify the SMART status
of all SMART-capable storage drives installed in the system while the system is in
production.
If the output is PASS, the storage drive passed the test. If the
output is FAIL, you should consider taking the system out of production
to run the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
Check memory
You can use the platform_check memory test to check the memory while
the system is in production.
Note: Supported only on
i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms.
If the output is PASS, the memory passed the test. If the output is
FAIL, you should consider taking the system out of production to run
the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
