Verifying the repair in AIX
You can use this procedure to verify that a repair is complete using the AIX operating system.
Use this maintenance analysis procedure (MAP) to check out the server after a repair is completed.
1.
Did you replace a disk drive in the root volume group?
NO
Go to step 3.
YES
Continue with the next step.
2.
Run stand-alone diagnostics either from a CD or from a Network Installation Management (NIM)
server.
Did you encounter any problems?
NO
Reinstall the operating system and continue with step 5.
YES
If the original problem still exists, replace the
field-replaceable unit (FRU) or perform the isolation
procedure that is next in the FRU list. If you have reached

Did you use an AIX diagnostics service aid hot-swap operation to change the FRU?
YES
Go to step 6.
NO
Go to step 7 on page 181.
Note:
The AIX diagnostic service aid was
used if a resource was removed using the

Wait until the AIX operating system login prompt displays or until system activity on the operator panel or
display apparently has stopped.

Did you encounter any problems?
NO
Continue at step 6.
YES
If the original problem still exists, replace the FRU or perform the isolation procedure that is next in the FRU
