Diagnostic utilities for the AIX operating system
An AIX operating-system diagnostic CD, also known as the stand-alone Diagnostics CD, is available
from IBM. You can start the CD from a CD drive or from NIM. To download the CD image, go to
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/diags/home.html.
See the
Problem Determination and Service Guide for instructions for using the diagnostic utilities.
v Diagnostic utilities for other operating systems
Other supported operating systems might have diagnostic tools that are available through the
operating system. See your operating-system documentation for more information.

Light path diagnostics
Use light path diagnostics LEDs on the system board to identify system errors. If the system-error LED
on the system LED panel on the front or rear of the BladeCenter unit is lit, one or more error LEDs on
the BladeCenter unit components also might be lit. These LEDs help identify the cause of the problem.

to the blade server. To do this, you must configure the SOL feature on the blade server and start an
SOL session as described in the
IBM BladeCenter Serial over LAN Setup Guide .

You can also configure the service processor IP address by using the management module, and set up
a SOL connection to the service processor.
