v
Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays a number of the boot progress indicators, which may include service processor checkpoints,
IPL checkpoints, or AIX configuration codes, from the previous system boot. This information can be
useful in diagnosing system faults.
Note: If you are running one or more logical partitions, enter the partition ID (0-15) to display progress
indicators for that partition since the last system boot. If your system is running in Full System
Partition mode, this option automatically displays details from partition 0.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest).
This information is not stored in nonvolatile storage. If the system is powered off using the power-on
button on the operator panel, this information is retained. If the ac power is disconnected from the
system, this information will be lost. For an example, refer to “LCD Progress Indicator Log” on page 403.
v Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays the service processor error logs. For an example, refer to “Service Processor Error Logs” on
page 402.

The system name given to your system during setup
You need the firmware version for reference when you either update or repair the functions of your service
processor.
The system name, an optional field, is the name that your system reports in problem messages. This
name helps your support team (for example, your system administrator, network administrator, or service
representative) to more quickly identify the location, configuration, and history of your system. Set the
system name, from the main menu, using option 6.
