When you have entered a valid password, wait for one of the other conditions to occur. The system stops with the Diagnostic Operating Instructions displayed.
Step 6 The diagnostics loaded correctly. Go to “Problem Determination Using the Standalone or Online Diagnostics” on page 8-1. Step 7 There is a problem with the keyboard. Find the type of keyboard you are using in the following table, then follow the instructions given in the Action column.
Chapter 9. Introduction to Tasks and Service Aids The AIX Diagnostic Package contains programs that are called Tasks. Tasks can be thought of as "performing a specific function on a resource"; for example, running diagnostics, or performing a service aid on a resource.
Tasks The following tasks are described in this chapter: Add Resource to Resource List AIX Shell Prompt Analyze Adapter Internal Log Backup and Restore Media Certify Media Chan.
Run Diagnostics Run Error Log Analysis Run Exercisers Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies Save or Restore Service Processor Configuration SCSI Bus Analyzer SCSI De.
Add Resource to Resource List Use this task to add resources back to the resource list. Note: Only resources that were previously detected by the diagnostics and deleted from the Diagnostic Test List are listed. If no resources are available to be added, then none are listed.
Certify Media This task allows the selection of diskette or hardfiles to be certified. Hardfiles can be connected either to a SCSI adapter (non-RAID) or a PCI SCSI RAID adapter. The usage and criteria for a hardfile connected to a non-RAID SCSI adapter are different from those for a hardfile connected to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter.
Change Hardware Vital Product Data Use this service aid to display the Display/Alter VPD Selection Menu. The menu lists all resources installed on the system. When a resource is selected a menu is displayed that lists all the VPD for that resource. Note: The user cannot alter the VPD for a specific resource unless it is not machine readable.
Configure Reboot Policy Note: Runs on CHRP systems units only. This service aid controls how the system tries to recover from a system crash. Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Reboot Policy. Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings may not be displayed by this service aid.
When enabled, Call-Out Before Restart allows the system to call out (on a serial port that is enabled for call out) when an operating system restart is initiated. Such calls can be valuable if the number of these events becomes excessive, thus signalling bigger problems.
Call In allows the Service Processor to receive a call from a remote terminal. Call Out Authorized on S1 (on/off) Call Out Authorized on S2 (on/off) Call Out allows the Service Processor to place calls for maintenance. S1 Line Speed S2 Line Speed A list of line speeds is available by using 'List' on the screen.
This is set to either 'first' or 'all'. If the call out policy is set to 'first', call out stops at the first successful call to one of the following numbers in the order listed: 1. Service Center 2. Customer Admin Center 3.
Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Ring Indicate Power On Policy. Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings may not be displayed by this service aid.
Enable/disable surveillance Set the surveillance time interval, in minutes Set the surveillance delay, in minutes The current settings are read from NVRAM and displayed on the screen. Any changes made to the data shown are written to NVRAM.
Set the system name The current settings are read from NVRAM and displayed on the screen. Any changes made to the data shown are written to NVRAM. Reboot/Restart Policy Setup This selection controls how the system will try to recover from a system crash.
If the system was powered-on when the AC loss occurred, the system reboots when power is restored. If the system was powered-off when the AC loss occurred, the system remains off when power is restored. Configure Surveillance Policy Note: Runs on CHRP systems units only.
The refresh rate used by the standalone diagnostic package is 60Hz. If the display's refresh rate is 77Hz, then set the refresh rate to 77. – Different async terminal console A console configuration file that allows a terminal attached to any RS232 or RS422 adapter to be selected as a console device can be created using this service aid.
that the new disk drive SCSI address must be set to an address that is not currently in use and the drive be installed in an empty location. If there are no empty locations, then one of the other drives must be removed. Once the copy is complete, only one drive may remain installed.
The Display Error Summary and Display Error Detail selection provide the same type of report as the errpt command. The Display Error Analysis Summary and Display Error Analysis Detail selection provide additional analysis. Display Hardware Vital Product Data This service aid displays all installed resources along with any VPD for those resources.
Display or Change Diagnostic Run Time Options The Display or Change Diagnostic Run Time Options task allows the diagnostic run time options to be set. Note: The run time options are used only when selecting the Run Diagnostic task.
Display Previous Diagnostic Results Note: This service aid is only available when you load the diagnostics from a disk drive or a network. However, on a CHRP system, this service aid is available when you run the diagnostics in standalone mode because the results are stored in the NVRAM.
Show Fix (APAR) Installation Status List Fileset Requisites List Fileset Dependents List Files Included in a Fileset List File Owner by Fileset Display System Environmental Sensors Note: Runs on CHRP systems units only. This service aid displays the environmental sensors implemented on a CHRP system.

Return the value of sensor 9004, index 1: /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uesensor -t 9ðð4 -i 1 -v 2 Display Test Patterns This service aid provides a means of adjusting system display units by providing displayable test patterns. Through a series of menus the user selects the display type and test pattern.
Flag Description -A All disk drives. -D Microcode is on diskette (default to /etc/microcode directory). -l RAID disk drive–physical disk channel/ID (example 27).
Usage: diag -T "certify" Certify Spare Physical Disk This selection allows the user to certify (check integrity of the data) on drives designated as spares.
Format Media This task allows the selection of diskettes, hardfiles, or optical media to be formatted. Each selection is described below. Hardfile Attached to SCSI Adapter (non-RAID) Hardfile Format Writes all of the disk. The pattern put on the disk is device dependent, i.
The following steps should be followed if the data on the drive is to be overwritten: 1. Use the "Erase Disk" selection to overwrite the data on the drive.
Note: Erase option in command line mode uses default values. To selectively read or write, use diag in console mode. Hardfile Attached to PCI SCSI RAID Adapter This function formats the physical disks attached to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter. This task may be run directly from the AIX command line.
Generic Microcode Download This service aid provides a means of executing a "generic" script from a diskette. The intended purpose for this "generic" script is to load microcode to a supported resource.
The service aid provides the following functions: Add or delete a resource to the periodic test list Modify the time to test a resource Display the periodic test list Modify the error .
The procedures for running the diagnostics depends on the state of the diagnostics run time options. See “Display or Change Diagnostic Run Time Options” on page 9-18. Run Error Log Analysis The Run Error Log Analysis task invokes the Resource Selection List menu.

This selection writes all of the settings for the hardware management policies to the file: /etc/lpp/diagnostics/data/hmpolicies Restore Hardware Management Policies This selection restores all of.
The SCSI Bus Service Aid transmits a SCSI Inquiry command to a selectable SCSI Address. The service aid then waits for a response. If no response is received within a defined amount of time, the service aid displays a timeout message.
SCSI Device Identification and Removal This service aid allows the user to choose a SCSI device or location from a menu and to identify a device located in a system unit that uses a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) backplane. The service aid also does the following: Generates a menu displaying all SCSI devices.
This service aid may be run directly from the AIX command line. The following usage statement describes the syntax of the command (path is /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/utape): Usage: utape [ -h | -? ] [ -.
diag -c -d < deviceName > -T chkspares SSA Service Aids This service aid provides tools for diagnosing and resolving problems on SSA attached devices.
When running from standalone diagnostics, the flash update image file is copied to the file system from diskette. The user needs to provide the image on a diskette since the user does not have access to remote file systems or any other files that are on the system.
This selection is used to format a selected disk drive. Array Controller Microcode Download This selection allows the microcode on the 7135 controller to be updated when required. Physical Disk Microcode Download This selection is used to update the microcode on any of the disk drives in the array.
