This command runs the physical disk channel fault isolation diagnostics and stores the results.

Syntax

start physicalDiskChannel [(1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8)] RAID controller module [(a | b)] faultDiagnostics {testDevices=[all | RAID controller module=(a | b) | esms=[trayID1 (left | right), ... trayIDn (left | right)] | physical disks=[trayID1, slotID1, ... , trayIDn, slotIDn]] | dataPattern=(fixed | pseudoRandom) | patternNumber=[(0xhexadecimal | integerLiteral)] | maxErrorCount=integer | testIterations=integer | timeout=timeInterval}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
RAID controller module	The identifier letter of the RAID controller module that you want to test. Valid RAID controller module identifier values are a or b, where a is the RAID controller module in slot A, and b is the RAID controller module in slot B.
testDevices	The identifiers of the devices (RAID controller modules, EMMs, or physical disks) that you want to test. You can specify all or enter the specific identifiers for the devices that you want to diagnose.
dataPattern	The method of repeatability that you want to test.
patternNumber	The hexadecimal data pattern you want to use to run the test. This number can be any hexadecimal number between 0000 to FFFF.
maxErrorCount	The number of errors that you want to accept before terminating the test.
testIterations	The number of times that you want to repeat the test.
timeout	The length of time in minutes that you want to run the test.

Notes

Use the save physicalDiskChannel faultDiagnostics command and the stop physicalDiskChannel faultDiagnostics command in association with the start physicalDiskChannel faultDiagnostics command. These commands are needed to save the diagnostic test results to a file and to stop the diagnostic test.

You can also stop this command at any time by pressing Ctrl+C.
