netsc_tpelinktest

Use this variable to enable 10BASE-T Ethernet link integrity tests. If you are using ALOM in a hub that does not support Ethernet link integrity tests or that has them disabled, set this variable to false. Changes to this variable take effect after the next ALOM reset. Users on the Ethernet network will not be able to log in to ALOM while the tests are running.

From the ALOM command shell:

• To specify a value for this variable, use the setupsc command.
• To view the current value, use the showsc command.
• To change the value, use the setsc command.

Using the scadm utility:

• To view the current value for this variable, use the show command.
• To change the value, use the set command.

Note: ALOM and the local hub need Ethernet link integrity tests enabled or disabled consistently. If this setting is not consistent, communication might not be possible.

This variable works like the OpenBoot PROM environment variable "tpe-link-test?", which is available on some Sun platforms.
