Online Diagnostics test
Note Note: Certain hardware failures prevent alarms from being set. If this occurs, the log files and screen
display should be used to determine if a failure has occurred.
Log Files
Each time the diagnostics are run, the results are logged in a file on the PXM1 drive. If a standby PXM1
exists, a separate log file is written to that disk and must be viewed separately.
• The log files on the active PXM1 also indicate if a failure occurred on the standby PXM1.
• Only the three most recent log files are retained. If three files exist and a new test is run, the oldest
log file is overwritten by the new file.
• Log files are named onlinediag.MONTHDAY_hh:mm. The files are saved in C:DIAG.
• If a failure occurs, a message is also added to the shelf event log.
Commands to Operate the Online Diagnostics
The following commands are used to operate the Online Diagnostics:
oldiags <debug_level> <switch_enable>
This command runs the diagnostics on both the active PXM1 and the standby PXM1 (if available). Two
options are available for this command. If the command is entered without specifying any options, the
default values are automatically used. If options are used, they must be entered in the order shown:
• <debug_level> This option determines the amount of information to be displayed on the screen.
This detail is shown on the screen only. Log files contain a standard set of information and are not
affected by this option.
–
debug_level is a value between 0 and 3.
–
0 (the default) displays the least amount of detail.
–
3 displays the most detail.
• <switch_enable> enables or disables automatic switchover to the standby PXM1.
–
0 (the default) disables automatic switchover.
–
1 enables automatic switchover.
oldiags-help or oldiags help
These help commands display a description of the oldiags command and options.
oldclrlock
oldclrlock clears the lock of a previous oldiags process.
If an oldiags process is stopped while running (either from a keyboard command or unexpected process
shutdown), the command will be locked and cannot be run again until the lock is cleared. The oldclrlock
command clears this lock.
