The chassis data plane test validates the chassis backplane by sending Ethernet frames from blade to blade across the backplane.

Before you can run this test on the chassis:

• At least two blades are required (the test scales up to 8 blades).
• All blades installed in the chassis must be booted into EUD and sitting idle at the EUD menu.

Start the test on only one of the blades running EUD; the duration of the test is approximately two minutes per blade. Once the test has started, do not attempt to initiate tests from any other blades installed in the chassis.

When you start the test, you see this message:

                  
Executing Chassis Data Plane Test (30 min) ..

Please make sure all the other blades running EUD
in the chassis are sitting idle.
Otherwise unexpected results may occur.

This option runs all EUD tests that are applicable to the blade and do not require user interaction.

This option runs all tests that are applicable to the system, excluding the interactive tests and the System RAM test.

This option runs all EUD tests that are applicable to the chassis and do not require user interaction. This process takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.

This option runs all interactive tests. This process takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

This option displays a test report. A report log is stored as the text file /shared/log/eud.log in the host file system.

This option displays a test summary report that contains the results of all tests run during a test session.

This option quits the EUD and reboot the system. Using other methods, such as the reboot command or the command menu option can destabilize the system.
