Verifying the installed part in a Linux system or logical partition
If you have installed a new part, learn how to verify that the system recognizes the part.
To verify the newly installed or replaced part, continue with “Verifying an installed part by using
stand-alone diagnostics.”
Verifying an installed part by using stand-alone diagnostics
If you have installed or replaced a part, verify that the system recognizes the new part. You can use
stand-alone diagnostics to verify an installed part in a Linux system, expansion unit, or logical partition.
v If this server is directly attached to another server or attached to a network, ensure communications
with the other servers have stopped.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require use of all of the logical partition resources. No other activity can be
running on the logical partition.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require access to the system console.
You access these diagnostics from a CD-ROM or from the Network Installation Management (NIM)
server. This procedure describes how to use the diagnostics from a CD-ROM. For information on running
diagnostics from the Network Installation Management (NIM) server, see Running stand-alone
diagnostics from a Network Installation Management server.
To use stand-alone diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Stop all jobs and applications and then stop the operating system on the system or logical partition.
2. Remove all tapes, diskettes, and CD-ROM.
3. Turn off the system unit power. The next step boots the server or logical partition from the
stand-alone diagnostics CD-ROM. If the optical drive is not available as the boot device on the
server or logical partition on which you are working, follow these steps:
a. Access the ASMI. See Accessing the ASMI for information on using the ASMI.
b. On the ASMI main menu, click on Power/Restart Control.
c. Click Power On/Off System.
d. Select the Service mode boot from default boot list option in the AIX or Linux logical partition
mode boot drop-down menu.
e. Click Save settings and power on. As soon as the optical drive has power, insert the standalone
diagnostic CD-ROM.
f. Go to step 5.
4. Turn on the system unit power and immediately insert the diagnostics CD-ROM into the optical
drive.
5. After the keyboard POST indicator displays on the system console and before the last POST
indicator (speaker) displays, press the numeric 5 key on the system console to indicate that a service
mode boot should be initiated using the default-service mode boot list.
6. Enter any requested password.
7. At the Diagnostic Operating Instructions display, press Enter.
