Synopsis diagpost [mode | -show]

Description Use this command to enable or disable Power-On-Self-Test) POST. The mode is saved in flash

memory (and stays in that mode) until the next execution of diagPost. The mode becomes active as

soon as this command is executed; it does not require a reboot to take effect.

POST mode modifies the behavior of the diagnostics daemon program to inhibit testing of switch

blades when the system is first powered on or a new blade is added.

To enable or disable diagnostic POST, the recommended method is to use diagEnablePost and

diagDisablePost.
