## Run POST With Maximum Testing

1. Access the Oracle ILOM prompt:

   See Access the SP (Oracle ILOM).

2. Set the virtual keyswitch to `diag` so that POST runs in service mode.

       -> set /SYS/keyswitch_state=diag
       Set ‘keyswitch_state' to ‘Diag'

3. Reset the system so that POST runs.

   There are several ways to initiate a reset. The following example shows a reset by using `commands` that power cycle the host.

       -> stop /SYS
       Are you sure you want to stop /SYS (y/n)? y
       Stopping /SYS
       -> start /SYS
       Are you sure you want to start /SYS (y/n)? y
       Starting /SYS

   Note - The server takes about one minute to power off. Use the `show` `/HOST` command to determine when the host has been powered off. The console displays `status=Powered Off`.

4. Switch to the system console to view the POST output.

       -> start /HOST/console

5. If you receive POST error messages, learn how to interpret them. See Interpret POST Fault Messages.
