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

example, refer to “LCD Progress Indicator Log” on page 61.
