Display Hardware Error Report
This service aid uses the errpt command to view the hardware error log.
The Display Error Summary and Display Error Detail selection provide the same type of
report as the errpt command. The Display Error Analysis Summary and Display Error
Analysis Detail selection provide additional analysis.
Display Hardware Vital Product Data
This service aid displays all installed resources, along with any VPD (Vital Product
Data) for those resources. Use this service aid when you want to look at the VPD for a
specific resource.
Display Machine Check Error Log
Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
Diagnostics.
When a machine check occurs, information is collected and logged in an NVRAM error
log before the system unit shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX error log
and cleared from NVRAM when the system is rebooted from the hard disk, LAN, or
Standalone media. When booting from Standalone Diagnostics, this service aid can
convert the logged information into a readable format that can help to isolate the
problem. When booting from the hard disk or LAN, the information can be viewed from
the AIX error log, using the Hardware Error Report Service Aid. In either case, the
information is analyzed when running the sysplanar0 diagnostics in Problem
Determination Mode.
Display Microcode Level
This task is used to display the microcode or firmware levels of currently installed
resources. When the sys0 resource is selected, the task displays the levels of both the
system firmware and service processor firmware. sys0 may not be available in all
cases.
You can display the current level of the microcode on an adapter, the system, or a
device by using the AIX diag command. See the following command syntax:
diag -c
-d
device
-T "disp_mcode"
Flag Description
-c No console mode.
-d Used to specify a device.
-T Use the disp_mcode option to display microcode.
