eccTest.sh

Configuring the Long POST Behavior
The names of the test scripts which are to be executed have to be defined in the IPMI system
boot parameter variable runLP as a comma-separated list, for example as follows:
runLP=cpuspeed,memSize.sh,rtctest,eccTest.sh
The scripts are expected to be located in the following directory:
/opt/bladeservices/tools/LP. So in order to add your own scripts, simply add an entry
to the IPMI boot variable runLP or add an appropriately defined kernel boot parameter runLP
and place the script(s) in /opt/bladeservices/tools/LP. Depending on your system
configuration, you may want to design your test scripts to generate console output, write to
the log module and store any results in the IPMI System firmware progress sensor as done by
the default test scripts.
The IPMI boot parameter can be set by using the hpm command bootparamset (hpm -c
bootparamset).
When Linux is booted, the Linux start-up script /etc/init.d/LPmain.sh is executed. It
reads and analyses the IPMI boot parameter variable runLP and invokes the listed test scripts
(if any) in the given order. For more advanced customizations, you may want to modify the
/etc/init.d/rd.d/LPmain.sh script.
