2. Do you have any field-replaceable units (FRUs) (for example cards, adapters, cables, or devices) that
were removed during problem analysis that you want to put back into the system?
Note: If the system backplane or battery has been replaced and you are loading diagnostics from a
server over a network, it might be necessary for the customer to set the network boot information
for this system before diagnostics can be loaded. Also, set the system time and date information after
the repair is completed.
v Yes: Reinstall all of the FRUs that were removed during problem analysis. Go to step 3
v No: Continue with the next step.
3. Is the system or logical partition that you are performing a repair action on running the AIX
operating system?
v Yes: Continue with the next step.
v No: Go to step 5.
4. Does the system or logical partition you are performing a repair action on have the AIX operating
system installed?
Note: If you have just replaced a hard disk in the root volume group, answer no to this question.
v Yes:
Go to step 7 on page 175.
v No:
Continue with the next step.
5. Run stand-alone diagnostics in problem determination mode from either a CD-ROM or from a
Network Installation Management (NIM) server.
Note: For instructions about running stand-alone diagnostics from a CD and not by using an HMC,
go to Running the stand-alone diagnostics from CD on a server without an HMC attached.
For instructions about running stand-alone diagnostics from a NIM server, go to Running the
stand-alone diagnostics from a Network Installation Management server.
Did you encounter any problems?
v Yes: Go to Problem analysis.
v No: Continue with the next step.
6. The system hardware is functioning correctly.
If the system attention LED is still on, turn off the LED as described
in “Activating and deactivating LEDs” on page 183.
This completes the repair.
Note:
If, during the processing of the list of open service action
events, some service action events remained open, further service
actions might be required to complete the repair.
Return the server to the state that the customer normally uses, such
as IPL type, IPL mode, and the way the system is configured or
partitioned. This might require you to reboot the operating system.
Attention: Before returning the system to the customer, remove the
system from service mode. If the system is left in service mode, it
automatically places a call for service every two hours.
