ADIC SNC 5100 User Manual

This command is used only to transition an SNC 5100 from normal operations 
to the special diagnostic mode. 

All SCSI and FC cables must be disconnected before entering the 

diagBoot

 command.

• The 

diagBoot 

command first ensures that the

 /nvfs:mt 

directory 

exists. 

• It copies the existing bootline to a file in the 

/nvfs:mt 

directory on the 

SNC 5100.

• It installs a new bootline directing the SNC 5100 to boot using a special 

diagnostic startup 

script /ffs:mt/diagnstk.rc.

 

• It renames the persistent map file 

config/device.map

 as 

config/device.bak 

(a new file will be generated after rebooting).

• It issues a 

reboot

 command to put the changes into effect.

The 

normalBoot

 command is used only to transition the SNC 5100 from the 

special diagnostic mode to resume normal operation. 

• It restores the bootline that was copied by 

diagBoot

. 

• It erases the new persistent device map and renames the original map file 

config/device.map 

– restoring it for use when the SNC 5100 reboots.

• It reboots the SNC 5100.

This section is a reference for the commands that are available when the SNC 
5100 is booted in diagmode.

The command set is limited while in 

diagmode

. You will need to use the 

showBox

 command and three commands (with the suffix 

Test

) when testing 

the Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SCSI interfaces.
