OVERVIEW

========

Intel's diagnostic software lets you test the adapter to see if there are any

problems with the adapter hardware, the cabling, or the network connection. You

can also use diagnostics to isolate problems during troubleshooting. DIAGS is a

single program that operates identically

under multiple operating systems.



These utilities are designed to test hardware operation and confirm the

adapter's ability to communicate with another adapter in the same network,

primarily confirming cabling. They should not be used to judge performance.



They can test the adapter whether or not there is a responder on the network.

In order to do a thorough test, however, you should set-up a second system on

the network as a responder prior to starting a test.



Note: On the Intel(R) Ethernet Switch FM10000 Host Interface, loopback

diagnostic tests, and other tests that rely on the loopback test, will fail if

the Switch Manager is not running.





COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

=======================

- VERSION Print Diags version information.

- ? Print command line usage instructions.





NOTES

=====

- In general for any OS this utility may unload (or set to idle) the drivers

  for the adapters selected through this utility, if they were loaded.





Installation

=============





INSTALLING THE TOOL ON MICROSOFT* WINDOWS*

===========================================



To install the tools' drivers on Windows, run install.bat from the appropriate

directory of the install package.



Although the tool are not installed with install.bat, the driver that the tool

requires is copied into the local machine Windows driver directory. To run the

tool, launch a Command Prompt window from the Windows Start Menu. Go to the

media and directory where the tool is located and run the utility. The readme

files for each tool are found in the same directory as the tool. These tools

can be manually installed on the local hard drive in any directory.



The tool uses its own driver file (not the same as the system network driver).

If the driver sys file already exists in the drivers directory, install.bat may

fail to copy. Using the /y switch with install.bat will override and copy the

driver file regardless. However, this can be dangerous if an older version of

the driver is being used by another application such as Intel(R) PROSet for

Windows Device Manager. If a driver is already present in the drivers

directory, try running the tool from the command prompt. If it runs, then the

driver is fine. The tool will not run if the driver version present does not

match the driver version expected.



Note that you must have access to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers directory.

Only the administrator account has these privileges. You must be logged in as

administrator or the tools must be run as administrator.



Note that on Windows, any device that is disabled in device manager will not be

accessible by tools due to no memory resources. You would get an error code

0xC86A800E. To solve this problem, you can do one of the following:

1) Re-enable the device in device manager. Never disable this device when

   using tools.

2) Install an NDIS device driver for the device and make sure that it does

   not have a yellow or red bang by it in device manager.

3) Delete the device from device manager and restart the system. The install

   new hardware wizard should appear on next reboot. Do not cancel this. Just

   move the window aside and run the tool(s). Generally, you can click "cancel"

   on the wizard but there are some cases where Windows will disable the memory

   resources causing you to get back into the same state.





INSTALLING THE TOOLS ON EFI

===========================



The EFI 1.x tools are not supported in this release.



There is no installation required for EFI tools. The tools can simply be copied

from the appropriate directory to the drive that they will run from. The EFI2

binaries are for use with the UEFI Shell 2.X with the UEFI 2.3 HII protocol.

EFI2 tools will not run on the EFI Shell 1.X or if the UEFI 2.3 HII protocol is

not present.



Note that while EFI supports USB drives, there may be issues running tools from

the USB drive. Whether or not there are issues are BIOS specific. If you

experience issues, run the tool from hard disk instead.





INSTALLING THE TOOLS ON DOS

===========================



The tools support various DOS versions. There is no installation required for

DOS tools. The tools can simply be copied from the DOS directory on the CD to

the drive that they will run from. It is expected that the tools have a clean

boot environment. The tools will not run with memory managers and/or DOS

networking drivers loaded. The tools expect that they have full, unlimited

control of the hardware. The tools *WILL NOT* run properly if EMM386 is

present. The tools run in protected mode, 32-bit DOS. Therefore, they will not

be compatible with any TSR programs.





INSTALLING THE TOOLS ON LINUX*

==============================



In order to run tools on Linux*, a driver stub must be built and installed on

the system. This driver is not related to the network device driver that is

used to run the network during live traffic. It is a separate driver used

explicitly for tools. Due to the nature of Linux with the number of kernels

that can exist, we provide source for the driver module and an install script

to build/install it.



The tools support Linux distributions based on kernels 2.6.x. Validation is

done randomly on popular distributions such as Red Hat* or Suse*. Configured

kernel source that matches the currently installed kernel is required. A

working GCC is also required. There are some versions of GCC that had a bug

which did not support unnamed structures. These versions of GCC are not

supported. If you have compilation errors, try updating your version of GCC. If

you have linker errors when installing the driver, you should update your

kernel - download the latest stable off www.kernel.org and build/install it.



Note that some distributions such as recent Fedora core versions do not ship

with Kernel source. You must download, install, and configure the source in

order to get the tools' driver built on this OS. Installing the kernel source

RPM does not solve the problem.



This is the installation procedure:

  1. Log in as root and create a temporary directory to build the Intel(R)

     Network Connection Tools driver.

  2. Copy 'install' and 'iqvlinux.tar.gz' to the temporary directory.

     There are 3 versions of Linux supported: Linux32 (x86), Linux_x64 (x64),

     and Linux64 (Itanium). Copies of the above files exist in the appropriate

     directory for your platform.

  3. CD to the temporary directory and run './install.' The driver has been

     installed now, so the files in the temporary directory can be removed.

  4. Copy the tools that you want to use from the appropriate directory of

     the CD.





INSTALLING THE TOOLS ON FreeBSD*

================================



In order to run tools on FreeBSD*, a driver stub must be built and installed on

the system. This driver is not related to the network device driver that is

used to run the network during live traffic. It is a separate driver used

explicitly for tools. Due to the nature of FreeBSD with the number of kernels

that can exist, we provide source for the driver module and an install script

to build/install it.



The tools support FreeBSD distributions version 10.1 and later.



This is the installation procedure:

  1. Log in as root and create a temporary directory to build the Intel(R)

     Network Connection Tools driver.

  2. Copy 'install' and 'iqvfreebsd.tar' to the temporary directory.

     There are 2 versions of FreeBSD supported: FreeBSD32 (x86) and

     FreeBSD64e (x64). Copies of the above files exist in the appropriate

     directory for your platform.

  3. CD to the temporary directory and run './install' The driver has

     been installed now, so the files in the temporary directory can be

     removed.

  4. Copy the tools that you want to use from the appropriate directory of

     the CD.

How To Update Drivers Manually

After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

  • Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).

  • If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.

  • Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  • From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.

  • Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.

Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
