sysdiag(1M) Series 700/800 Only

NAME

sysdiag − online diagnostic system interface

SYNOPSIS

/usr/diag/bin/sysdiag [filename]

DESCRIPTION

sysdiag is the command interpreter for the online diagnostic system. Its primary role is to provide a common user interface to all of the online diagnostic programs. The set of commands understood by sysdiag is listed below. For a complete description of each command see the Hardware Support Documentation Set . sysdiag accepts commands from either standard input or the specified filename.

The online diagnostic system enables the system administrator to diagnose the computer system hardware without placing the system into single-user mode. Certain restrictions apply to running diagnostics in an online environment. These restrictions are necessary to protect user data. Each diagnostic program defines which operations destroy data and which do not. Typically, those operations that destroy data cannot be run in a multi-user environment. For further information, see the reference manual for each of the diagnostic programs.
