This line shows the results of individual processor and memory module tests.
Possible values are pass (+) or fail (–). The "o" at nodes 7 and 8 (I/O modules)
indicate adapter testing has not been done yet.
BPD lines indicate “boot processor determination.” After testing individual
processors (ST1 tests), the “+” processor with the lowest TLSB node number
is selected as boot processor. This process occurs again after ST2 and ST3
testing. “B” indicates boot processor, “E” indicates a processor that is enabled
to become the boot processor, and “D” indicates that a console command has
been issued disabling the processor from the possibility of becoming the boot
processor.
During the second round of tests (ST2), all tests are run to make sure that each
CPU can send and receive data to and from memory (sometimes called
CPU/MEM tests). Results are reported for each processor and memory; a plus
sign (+) indicates that ST2 testing passed; a minus sign (–), ST2 testing failed.
If the boot processor selected after ST1 testing fails these tests, another (with
the next-highest TLSB node number) is selected as boot processor. The boot
processor is again reported on the second BPD line.
During the third round of tests (ST3), all processors run multiprocessor tests,
and then the KFTHA and KFTIA adapters are tested. Notice that this line
displays the results of the adapter testing. (Both passed in this case.)
If the boot processor had failed multiprocessor testing, the new boot processor
selected would be displayed on this line.
A minus sign (–) at the right of the C0 FBUS+ line means that the DWLLA
adapter on I/O channel 0 failed self-test. Self-test results for adapters on this
I/O channel are thus not reported. The “+” on the XMI line shows that the
DWLMA adapter passed self-test; however, an adapter at node 3 failed on the
XMI bus.
This line shows results for a KFTIA module, which shows as a PCI bus,
because there is an internal PCI bus on the module. All "nodes" on the KFTIA
passed their internal self-test. See Section 3.1.4 to see which nodes are which,
including the FDDI and NVRAM field-replaceable options.
