8.1.2 Using the simulation function
Run the simulation mode start command at the command prompt to set the RAS software to
the "simulation mode". When the RAS software transitions to the "simulation mode", the
Simulation Tool window appears on the screen.
You can use this window to simulate the condition of hardware devices. Note that in order
to exit the simulation mode, you need to restart this equipment.
This subsection explains the procedure of using the simulation mode.
(1) Overview of the procedure of using the simulation function
The figure below shows a rough flow chart of using this function. From when the
simulation mode start command is executed until when OS shutdown completes, the
RAS software runs in "simulation mode".
Running in
simulation mode
START
Start the equipment.
Log on to the OS.
Execute the simulation mode
start command.
Perform hardware failure tests in the
Simulation Tool window.
Close the Simulation Tool window
or start shutdown.
Shutdown process
The equipment is turned off
or restarted.
