Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays the boot progress indicators (check points), up to a maximum of 100,
from the system boot prior to the one in progress now. This historical
information may be useful to help diagnose system faults.
The progress indicators are displayed in two sections. Above the dashed line
are the progress indicators from the boot that produced the current sessions.
Below the dashed line are progress indicators from the boot preceding the one
that produced the current sessions.
The progress indication codes are chronological from bottom to top. The dashed
line merely represents the point where the latest boot started.
Ÿ
Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays the Service Processor error logs.
The time stamp in this error log is Coordinated Universal Time (CUT), a.k.a.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). AIX error logs have more information available
and are able to time stamp with local time. See B-35 for an example of the error
log.
Ÿ
Read System POST Errors
Selecting this item lets you review the results of the POST (Power-On Self Test).
Your server may be able to start in the presence of POST errors if there is
sufficient working system resources. If POST errors occur during start-up, this
error log when used with the diagnostics helps to isolate faults. See B-36 for an
example of the POST error screen.
Ÿ
View System Environmental Conditions
On selection of this menu, the Service Processor reads all environmental
sensors and reports the results to the user. This option maybe useful when
surveillance fails, as it allows the user to determine the environmental conditions
that may be related to the failure. See B-14 for an example of the System
Environmental Conditions screen.
