Service
Agent
for
the
Eserver
pSeries
690
Service
support
for
the
Eserver
pSeries
690
can
be
enhanced
through
the
use
of
the
application
program
known
as
service
agent
for
the
Eserver
pSeries
690.
This
application
provides
a
number
of
advantages
for
the
Eserver
pSeries
690
customer,
including
automatic
error
reporting
and
analysis
without
customer
intervention.
Everything
needed
to
use
the
service
agent
on
the
Eserver
pSeries
690
is
shipped
with
the
system
or
with
the
Hardware
Management
Console
for
pSeries.
Using
the
Service
Processor
and
Service
Agent
Features
The
service
processor
and
service
agent
features
protect
users
against
unnecessary
system
downtime
by
advising
support
personnel
(both
internal
and
external)
of
any
unexpected
changes
in
the
system
environment.
In
combination,
the
two
features
provide
a
flexible
solution
to
automated
system
maintenance.

Running
Diagnostics
on
the
Native
Serial
Port
on
a
Full
Machine
Partition
with
an
HMC
Attached
For
a
full
system
partition,
the
output
of
the
S1
serial
port
is
redirected,
or
wrapped
to
the
virtual
console
window.
When
the
S1
serial
port
is
wrapped,
the
output
of
any
command
is
directed
from
the
S1
serial
port
to
the
virtual
console
terminal.
If
you
close
the
virtual
console
window
on
the
managed
system,
normal
function
is
restored
to
the
S1
serial
port.
The
implication
of
this
is
that
the
serial
port
wrap
diagnostics
may
fail
with
a
false
SRN
if
the
virtual
console
window
on
the
managed
system
is
not
closed.
Another
method
to
prevent
the
false
SRN
is
to
unplug
the
HMC
from
its
port
before
running
the
wrap
tests.
After
running
diagnostics
on
the
serial
port,
make
sure
that
the
S1
serial
port
is
enabled
for
login;
use
the
AIX
command
chdev
-l
’ttyx’
-a
login=’enable’
where
x
is
the
tty
number
corresponding
to
the
S1
serial
port.
