vCertify Hardfile Attached to a
This selection reads all of the ID and data fields. It checks for bad data and counts all errors encountered. If the unrecovered data errors exceed the threshold value, the hardfile needs to be formatted and certified. If the recovered data errors, recovered (and unrecovered) equipment errors exceed the threshold values, the disk needs to be replaced.
This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. The syntax of the command is as follows:
diag
vCertify Hardfile attached to a PCI SCSI RAID Adapter
This selection is used to certify physical disks attached to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter. Certify reads the entire disk and checks for recovered errors, unrecovered errors, and reassigned errors. If these errors exceed the threshold values, the user is prompted to replace the physical disk.
This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. The syntax of the command is as follows:
diag

Change Hardware Vital Product Data
Use this service aid to display the Display/Alter VPD Selection Menu. The menu lists all resources installed on the system. When a resource is selected, a menu displays that lists all the VPD for that resource.
Note: The user cannot alter the VPD for a specific resource unless it is not machine readable.
Configure Dials and LPFKeys
This service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials/LPFKs (Lighted Program Function Keys) to the asynchronous serial ports.
A TTY must be defined on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can be configured on the port. Prior to AIX Version 4.2, the Dials and LPFKs could only be configured on the standard serial ports. For AIX Version 4.2 and later, the Dials and LPFKs can be configured on any async port.
This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPFKs configuration. A TTY must be in the available state on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can be configured on the port. The task allows an async adapter to be configured, then a TTY port defined on the adapter, and then Dials and LPFKs can be defined on the port.
