The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) group of diagnostics tests the functioning of the SCSI adapters that are in your system. The tests range from checking firmware versions and disk access through Static Read Random Access Memory (SSRAM) and data transfer integrity. The SCSI diagnostic tests can generate error messages associated with the adapter.
The following table describes the tests in the SCSI Controller diagnostic test.
| Test no | Test | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 |
Comprehensive SCSI test |
Runs all tests in this menu in current mode. |
2 |
PCI-PCI bridge test |
Verifies the PCI configuration registers. |
3 |
PLX 9060 test |
Tests the configuration, self-test, and error status of the PLX9060 bridge. |
4 |
ISP chip test |
Verifies the onboard ISP SCSI chip configuration, firmware commands, mailboxes, and status and error information. |
5 |
EEPROM data check |
Reads and verifies the serial EEPROM data. |
6 |
SSRAM pattern test (Qlogic) |
Tests the on-chip SSRAM with fixed data patterns. |
7 |
SSRAM random test (Qlogic) |
Tests the on-chip RAM with random data patterns. |
8 |
SSRAM/DMA pattern test (Qlogic) |
Tests the DMA of fixed data patterns between SSRAM and most locations of main memory. |
9 |
SSRAM/DMA random test (Qlogic) |
Tests the DMA of random data patterns between SSRAM and most locations of main memory. |
10 |
ISP firmware test (Qlogic) |
Tests the ISP firmware (reads and verifies ISP firmware in SSRAM). |
11 |
SCSI interrupt test |
Tests the ISP SCSI adapter interrupt. |
12 |
Read-only bus test [Xtnd] |
Extended test mode: Tests SCSI adapter loop integrity by reading from each disk attached to the SCSI adapter. |
13 |
Read/write bus test [Mfg] |
Option not available. |
14 |
Disk read test |
Tests the SCSI adapter connection by reading from each disk attached to the SCSI interface. |
15 |
Disk read/write test |
Option not available. |
71 |
Show ISP chip info |
Displays information about the ISP chip. |
72 |
Show attached SCSI devices |
Displays the SCSI devices attached to the system. |
74 |
Reset SCSI adapter |
Resets the SCSI adapter. |
75 |
Show serial EEPROM data |
Displays the serial EEPROM data. |
76 |
Program serial EEPROM data [Factory] |
Option not available. |
78 |
Set serial # and revision [Factory] |
Option not available. |
90 |
SCSI card selection |
Enables you to select a specific SCSI card for testing. |
91 |
Enable/disable looping |
Enables or disables continuous running of a diagnostic test. The test is stopped when Ctrl-C is pressed or when an error is encountered if option 92 is active. |
92 |
Stop/continue looping on error |
Starts or stops running a diagnostic test on an error. If looping is enabled, as set by option 91, looping continues after an error is encountered. |
93 |
Extended/normal test mode |
Enables or disables extended mode on tests where extended mode is an available option. |
99 |
Exit |
Exits this diagnostics menu. |
