Memory test
Use the BCU or the HCM to perform a memory test for the adapter.
Performing the memory test disables the adapter.
Performing a memory test through BCU
Use the diag --memtest command to test the adapter’s memory blocks.
diag --memtest <ad_id>
where:
ad_id ID of the adapter.
Performing a memory test through HCM
Use the Hardware Tests tab on the Diagnostics dialog box as follows to perform a memory test.
1. Launch the HCM.
2. Select Configure > Diagnostics.
3. Click the Hardware Tests tab.
4. Select Memory Test.
5. Specify the test cycle using a positive number.
6. Click Start.
Pinging Fibre Channel end points
Use the BCU and HCM to ping a Fibre Channel end point from an adapter port to determine the
basic connectivity to the remote port and monitor network latency.
Ping testing is not supported on Solaris systems.
Issuing a ping command to end points through BCU
Use the fcdiag --fcping BCU command to test the connection to a Fibre Channel end point.
fcdiag -–fcping <port_id> <rpwwn> [-l <lpwwn>]
where:
port_id ID of the adapter port from which you want to ping the remote port. This could
be the PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could
also be the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port
1, you would use 1/1 as the port identification.
rpwwn Remote PWWN that you want to ping.
lpwwn Logical PWWN. 0 indicates the base port.
