4-2 Sun Ultra 20 M2 Workstation Service Manual • January 2007
4.1 Understanding the Diagnostic Partition
A diagnostic partition is required for the test scripts to write their log files. Without
a diagnostic partition, the only output is the display on the diagnostic screens.
The diagnostic partition is preinstalled on the Sun Ultra 20 M2 Workstation. You do
not need to reinstall the diagnostic partition unless you removed it.
If you removed the diagnostic partition, you can re-create it using the Create
Diagnostic Partition option on the Tools and Drivers CD. See Section 4.7, “Create
Diagnostic Partition” on page 4-11 for instructions.
