vRead Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays a number of the boot progress indicators, which may include service
processor checkpoints, IPL checkpoints, or AIX configuration codes, from the
previous system boot. This information can be useful in diagnosing system faults.
Note: If you are running one or more logical partitions, enter the partition ID (0-15)
to display progress indicators for that partition since the last system boot. If
your system is running in full system partition mode, this option automatically
displays details from partition 0.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest).
This information is not stored in nonvolatile storage. If the system is powered off
using the power-on button on the operator panel, this information is retained. If the
ac power is disconnected from the system, this information will be lost. For an
example, refer to “LCD Progress Indicator Log” on page 61.
vRead Service Processor Error Logs
Displays the service processor error logs. For an example, refer to “Service
Processor Error Logs” on page 60.
vRead System POST Errors
Displays additional error log information (this option is only for service personnel).
vExit from Menus
Selecting this option will exit the service processor menus. You can re-enter the
menus by pressing any key on the console.
