Diagnostic programs and messages

The diagnostic programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server. The diagnostic tools provided with the program include a system information collection and analysis tool that you can use to provide information to Lenovo service and support to aid in the diagnosis of the system problems. The diagnostic programs are provided on the Diagnostics CD. If one did not come with your server, you can download the CD from the Lenovo Support site. As you run the diagnostic programs, text messages are displayed on the screen and are saved in the test log. A diagnostic text message indicates that a problem has been detected and indicates what action you should take as a result of the text message.

The diagnostic programs collect information about the following aspects of system:

vSystem configuration

vNetwork interfaces and settings

vHardware inventory, including PCI and USB information

vLenovo Easy LED Diagnostics status

vService processor status and configuration

vVital product data, firmware, and basic input/output system (BIOS)

vDrive health information

vServeRAID configuration

vLSI RAID and controller configuration

vEvent logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors

The diagnostic programs can also provide diagnostics for the following system components, if they are installed in the system:

vBroadCom NetXtreme II

vOptical (CD or DVD) drives

vHard disk drives

vLSI 1064e/1068e/1078e SAS RAID controller

vRemote Supervisor Adapter

vBaseboard management controller

vTrusted Platform Module chip

vMemory

vMicroprocessor

vCheckpoint panel test

The diagnostic programs create a merged log called the diagnostic error log, which includes events from all collected logs. You can output all of the collected information as a compressed XML file that you can send to Lenovo service and support, view the information locally through a generated text report file, or copy the log to a removable media and view the log from a Web browser. See “Running the diagnostic programs” on page 164 for more information.

Make sure that the latest version of the diagnostic programs is installed. To download the latest version of the diagnostic programs, go to the Lenovo Support Web site.
