8 Introduction

•Number of Passes

This feature enables you to run the selected tests for a specified number of

iterations. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum is 20.

NOTE: In the CLI mode, Online Diagnostics allows for a maximum number

of 999 passes.

•Run Time

This feature allows you to specify the duration (in minutes) for which a

diagnostic test should run. This feature is available only in the CLI version

of Online Diagnostics.

NOTE: Tests stop executing after they complete 72 hours or 999 passes,

whichever occurs first.

Auto Logging

Online Diagnostics saves the diagnostic test results, in XML format, in an

auto-generated file (

result.xml

). The file is available in the

x:\

<install_directory>

\dell\diagnostics\log

directory (where

is the

system drive) for Microsoft Windows operating systems and in

/var/log/

dell/diagnostics/log

for Linux operating systems. The maximum size of

the log file is 512 KB. Online Diagnostics removes the log entries in a first-

in-first-out (FIFO) fashion when the size of the log file reaches the upper

limit. Online Diagnostics also saves the hardware configuration in an auto-

generated file (

config.xml

), which is available in the same location as

result.xml
