• pediags <DEVICECLASS> --show [device|test|all]
[<Index Options>] [<Details Option>]
[fmt=lst|tbl|xml]
Displays the list of device classes, tests, or both device classes and tests.
The default option is
all. The option displays both device classes and tests.
You can specify index options and choose the format in which you want
the output to be displayed. The parameters should follow the particular
order in which they are listed above. Format options must always be the
last parameter.
For example, the command
pediags network --show test test-
index=1,2,3 fmt=tbl
, displays the tests whose index numbers are 1,
2, and 3 in a table format.
If you type the following command,
pediags network --show
device device-index=1,2,3 fmt=tbl
, it will display the device
classes whose index numbers are 1, 2, and 3 in a table format.
Use pediags <DEVICECLASS> --show device details=true to view
additional device information, if available.
The details=true option works only with "--show device". For example, to
see additional device information for the SCSI devices, enter
pediags Scsidevdiag --show device details=true .
• pediags <DEVICECLASS> --run [<Index Options>]
[<Test Settings>] [fmt=lst|tbl|xml]
Runs tests on the device class you select. You can specify index options,
test settings, and choose the format in which you want the results to be
displayed. The parameters should follow the particular order in which they
are listed above and format options must always be the last parameter.
In the
<Test Settings> parameter, you can specify quicktest as true or
false. You can also specify the number of iterations or passes for the
selected test. Passes specifies the number of passes to execute.
For example, the command
pediags network --run test-
index=1,2,3 quicktest=true passes=6 fmt=tbl
, runs six
iterations of the tests whose index numbers are 1, 2, and 3 on the network
device class. The results are then displayed in a tabular format.
