The testID parameter takes the following options, which you can use to verify that a RAID controller
module is functioning correctly:
• 1 — Reads the test
• 2 — Performs a data loop-back test
• 3 — Writes the test
The diagnostic tests consist of loop-back tests in which data is written to physical disks and read from the
physical disks.

Parameters
Parameter Description
controller
RAID controller module on which to run the
diagnostic tests. Valid RAID controller module
identifier values are 0 and 1. The identifier value is
0 for the RAID controller module on the top and 1
for the RAID controller module on the bottom
when viewed from the rear of the enclosure. You
must put brackets ([ ]) around the RAID controller
module identifier. If you do not specify a RAID
controller module, the storage management
software returns a syntax error.
loopbackPhysicalDiskChannel
Physical disk channel on which to run the
diagnostic tests. You can choose to run the
diagnostics on all channels or select a specific
channel on which to run diagnostics. Valid physical
disk channel values are 1 or 2.
NOTE: When you run a data loopback test,
you can optionally specify a file that contains
a data pattern. If you do not specify a file, the
firmware provides a default pattern.
testID
Identifier for the diagnostic test to run. The
identifier and corresponding tests are:
• 1 — Reads the test
• 2 — Write test
• 3 — Data loop-back test
