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 is
displayed 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 to the
asynchronous serial ports.
Since version 4.1.3 a tty must be defined on the async port before the Dials and
LPFKs can be configured on the port. Before version 4.2 the Dials and LPFKs could
only be configured on the standard serial ports. At version 4.2 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.
Configure ISA Adapter
This task invokes SMIT to allow the identification and configuration of ISA adapters
on systems that have an ISA bus and adapters.
Diagnostic support for ISA adapters not shown in the list may be supported from a
supplemental diskette. ISA adapter support can be added from a supplemental
diskette with the Process Supplemental Media task.
Whenever an ISA adapter is installed, this service aid must be run and the adapter
configured before the adapter can be tested. This service aid must also be run to
remove an ISA adapter from the system whenever an ISA adapter is physically
removed from the system.
If diagnostics are run on an ISA adapter that has been removed from the system, the
diagnostics fail because the ISA adapter cannot be detected by the system.
