Display Hardware Error Report
This service aid uses the errpt command to view the hardware error log.
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. Use this service aid when you want to look at the VPD for a specific
resource.
Display Machine Check Error Log
Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
Diagnostics.
When a machine check occurs, information is collected and logged in an NVRAM
error log before the system unit shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX
error log and cleared from NVRAM when the system is rebooted from the hard disk,
LAN, or standalone media. When booting from Standalone Diagnostics, this service
aid converts the logged information into a readable format that can be used to isolate
the problem. When booting from the hard disk or LAN, the information can be
viewed from the AIX error log using the Hardware Error Report Service Aid. In either
case, the information is analyzed when the sysplanar0 diagnostics are running in
Problem Determination Mode.
Display Microcode Level
This service aid enables you to display the current level of microcode on an adapter
or device. See the following command syntax:
diag -c -d
device_name
-T "disp_mcode"
Display or Change Bootlist
This service aid allows the bootlist to be displayed, altered, or erased.
The system attempts to perform an IPL from the first device in the list. If the device
is not a valid IPL device or if the IPL fails, the system proceeds in turn to the other
devices in the list to attempt an IPL.
