Platform Diagnostics platform_diag tests
You can run platform_diag commands on your system using one of these methods:
- Run all tests by typing platform_diag
- Run a specific test by typing platform_diag <test-name>
Warning: You should not run these tests on an active system, since these tests
stop system daemons from using bigstart stop. This stops traffic to
the system and might disable some network interfaces.
Run all platform_diag tests
You can use the platform_diag 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 SSL and compression
You use the platform_diag hwaccel test to check the hardware SSL
and compression accelerators installed in the system.
Warning: This test
stops system daemons using bigstart stop, stops traffic to the
system, and might disable some network interfaces.
If the output is PASS, the SSL and
compression hardware 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 packetpath
You can use the platform_diag packetpath test to check the internal
paths to test the Ethernet interfaces in the system, including between the front panel
switch, HSBs, processors, and more.
Warning: This test stops system daemons
using bigstart stop, stops traffic to the system, and might
disable some network interfaces.
If the output is PASS, the internal packet path works
as expected. If the output is FAIL, you should consider
taking the system out of production to run the End-User Diagnostic (EUD) tests.
