Alarm Card Test for Netra trademark

CT Systems (alarm2test)

The alarm2test exercises the Alarm Card and System Controller Board on the Sun Netra trademark CT 410 and CT 810 systems.

The Alarm Card is a hot-swappable add-on option for the Netra CT systems which provides secure remote access for system monitoring, failure recovery, and alarm notification. The Alarm Card can be used in both front and rear-access systems.

This test is not scalable.

Note - The Netra CT 410/810 system only runs the 64-bit OS (to take full advantage of UltraSPARCII). Although, alarm2test is available in 32-bit and 64-bit mode, only the 64-bit version of alarm2test can be performed on a Netra CT 410/810 system.

alarm2test Requirements

Solaris 9 4/03 operating environment or later is required to perform the alarm2test. Ethernet loopback and serial loopback connectors are also required to perform the alarm2test. In addition, you are required to select the Intervention mode due to the serial and Ethernet loopback connectors.

alarm2test Subtests

alarm2test consists of eight subtests which test and report on the following:

Ethernet Internal, External, PHY loopback and PING test
Internal/External loopback test on serial ports
Checksum test on FLASH
Alarm relay on/off test
System status panel LED test
Fan status test
Power supply test
FruID checksum test

alarm2test Options

To reach the dialog box below, right-click on the test name in the System Map and select Test Parameter Options. If you do not see this test in the System Map, you might need to expand the collapsed groups, or your system may not include the device appropriate to this test. Refer to the SunVTS User's Guide for more details.

Note - 64-bit tests are located in the sparcv9 subdirectory /opt/SUNWvts/bin/sparcv9/testname, or the relative path to which you installed SunVTS. If a test is not present in this directory, then it may only be available as a 32-bit test. For more information refer to the "32-Bit and 64-Bit Tests" section of the SunVTS 5.1 Test Reference Manual (816-5145-10).
