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.

vIf this server is directly attached to another server or attached to a network, ensure communications with the other servers have stopped.

vThe stand-alone diagnostics require use of all of the logical partition resources. No other activity can be running on the logical partition.

vThe 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.
