The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest). If the <---
arrow occurs, use the 4-digit checkpoint or 8-character error code being pointed to as
the beginning of your service actions.
v
Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays error conditions detected by the service processor.
The time stamp in this error log is coordinated universal time (UTC), also known as
Greenwich mean time (GMT). AIX error logs have additional information available
and are able to time stamp the errors with the local time. See “Service Processor
Error Log” on page 212 for an example of the error log.
v
Read System POST Errors
This option should only be used by service personnel to display additional error log
information.
v
Read NVRAM
Displays 320 bytes of nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) contents.
v
Read Service Processor Configuration
Displays all service processor settings that can be changed by the user.
v
View System Environmental Conditions
The service processor reads all environmental sensors and reports the results to the
user. Use this option when surveillance fails, because it allows the user to determine
the environmental conditions that may be related to the failure.
v
Processor Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu
Use this option to view the processor configuration.
The following is an example of the Processor Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu:
Processor Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu
Processor number
0. Configured by system (0x0)
2. Configured by system (0x0)

To change the configuration, select the processor number

The processor can be in one of the following states:
– Configured by system: The system processor is present, and has not exceeded
the failure threshold.
– Deconfigured by system: The system processor has been taken offline by the
service processor due to an unrecoverable error, or recoverable errors exceeding
the failure threshold.
Note: A status of (0x0) indicates that the processor card has not had any errors
logged against it by the service processor.
Attention: If the system processor in slot 1 (P1-C1) has been deconfigured by the
system, the service processor will prevent the system from booting.
