Table 2–4 and Table 2–5 show the number of tests available. Column 1

contains the numbers used to invoke the test in RBD mode.

RBD2> ST1 !Starts the CPU memory interaction test

The second column gives the total number of tests in the RBD. The third

column indicates that there may be some tests not run during power up,

and the fourth column indicates the number of test run when the RBD is

invoked by the START command with no qualiﬁers. All tests may be run.

Some, like a number of the memory diagnostics, modify data or take a long

time and are not run by default. These tests require the operator to invoke

them speciﬁcally.

For the <REFERENCE>(xyp) each RBD has a default number of tests

that run when the test is invoked. The CPU and CPU/memory tests (RBD

0 and 1) run all their tests when invoked. RBD 4, the secondary cache

tests, are not run by default and must be speciﬁcally requested to run.

The <REFERENCE>(XRP) does not have a separate RBD for its secondary

cache.

For the <REFERENCE>(XRP) each RBD has a default number of tests

that run at power-up, and another default number of tests that run when

the program is called from the RBD monitor (see Table 2–4 and Table 2–5).

The CPU diagnostic (RBD 0) runs all its tests in both modes. The power-

up default for the CPU/memory interaction diagnostic (RBD 1) is 12 (scalar

only—16 with the vector tests), and the callable default is all tests.

The DWMBB diagnostic (RBD 2) runs 20 or 21 of the 26 tests as the default

in both modes; tests 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, and 26 must be invoked by qualiﬁer in

callable mode.

To run tests other than the default suite from the RBD monitor, issue a

command such as the following, which invokes all DWMBB tests:

RBDn> ST2/T=1:26 D

See Section 7.4 for more details.

RBD 3, the Memory diagnostic, does not run on power-up. In callable

mode, 7 of 12 tests run when invoked; tests 2 through 8 are defaults. See

Section 6.11 for information on calling additional tests.

It is helpful to use the trace qualiﬁer, /TR, with the RBD START command.

(See Section 2.3.3.) This qualiﬁer shows each individual test as it is

run. If a test fails, the program displays error messages. By default, the

RBDs continue testing after an error is encountered. Adding the halt-on-

error qualiﬁer, /HE, causes the program to halt when the ﬁrst error is

encountered. Testing can be aborted at any time by typing CTRL/C.
