The Configure Added/Replaced Devices function runs the configuration manager on
the parent adapters that had child devices added or removed. This function ensures
that the devices in the configuration database are configured correctly.
Standalone Diagnostics has restrictions on using the SCSI Hot Plug Manager. For
example:
v Devices being used as replacement devices must be exactly the same type of device
as the device being replaced.
v New devices may not be added unless a device of the same FRU part number
already exists in the system, because the configuration information for the new
device is not known after the Standalone Diagnostics are booted.
You can run this task directly from the command line. See the following command
syntax:
diag -d device-T"identifyRemove"
OR
diag [-c] -d device -T"identifyRemove -a [identify|remove]"
Flag Description
-a Specifies the option under the task.
-c Runs the task without displaying menus. Only command-line prompts are
used. This flag is only applicable when running an option such as identify or
remove.
-d Indicates the SCSI device.
-T Specifies the task to run.
RAID Hot Plug Devices
This selection starts the PCI SCSI-2 F/W RAID Adapter Service Aid.
Local Area Network Analyzer
This selection is used to exercise the LAN communications adapters (Token-Ring,
Ethernet, and (FDDI) Fiber Distributed Data Interface). The following services are
available:
v Connectivity testing between two network stations. Data is transferred between the
two stations, requiring the user to provide the Internet addresses of both stations.
v Monitoring ring (Token-Ring only). The ring is monitored for a specified period of
time. Soft and hard errors are analyzed.
Log Repair Action
The Log Repair Action task logs a repair action in the AIX Error Log. A Repair Action
log indicates that a FRU has been replaced, and error log analysis should not be done
for any errors logged before the repair action. The Log Repair Action task lists all
resources. Replaced resources can be selected from the list, and when commit (F7
key) is selected, a repair action is logged for each selected resource. For more
information see, “Repair Action” on page 15.
