To run the software self-test, complete the following steps:

Open an SSH session and log on to the appliance node as an administrator using the Access Appliance shell menu.
The Main_Menu view is displayed.
To run the self-test, enter the following command:
Main_Menu > Support > Test Software
The self-test validates the status of components such as the Access service, the S3 service, and the installed RPM packages. Ensure that the self -test completes with PASS status.
