The post command enables you to override NVRAM settings and execute POST on
demand with different diagnostic levels and output verbosity. For example:
where:

■ verbosity is min, normal,ormax
If no diagnostic level or output verbosity is provided, the post command uses the
NVRAM settings for diag-level and verbosity. See “Changing NVRAM
Configuration Parameter Values” on page 10-3 for more information about these
parameters.
