A single problem might cause more than one error message. When this happens, correct the cause of the
first error message. The other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the diagnostic
programs.
If the server is hung during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the DSA
Preboot diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested
when the server is hung.
Diagnostic text messages
Diagnostic text messages are displayed while the tests are running.
A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results:
Passed:
The test was completed without any errors.
Failed:
The test detected an error.
Aborted:
The test could not proceed because of the server configuration.
Additional information concerning test failures is available in the extended diagnostic results for each test.
Viewing the test log results and transferring the DSA collection
To view the test log for the results when the tests are completed, do one of the following:
• Click the
Success
link in the Status column, if you are running the DSA graphical user interface.
• Type
:x
to exit the
Execute Tests
menu, if you are running the DSA interactive menu. Then, select
completed tests
to view the results.
• Select
Diagnostic Event Log
in the graphical user interface.
To transfer DSA Preboot collections to an external USB device, type the
copy
command in the DSA
interactive menu.
You can also send the DSA error log to Lenovo service and support to aid in diagnosing the server problems.
Automated service request (call home)
Lenovo provides a tool that can automatically collect and send data or call Lenovo Support when an error
is detected.
This tool can help Lenovo Support speed up the process of diagnosing problems.
Electronic Service Agent
Electronic Service Agent
™
monitors, tracks, and captures system hardware errors as well as hardware and
software inventory information. It also reports serviceable problems directly to Lenovo Support.
Although you can collect these system data manually, Electronic Service Agent could also be a
good alternative because it uses minimal system resources and can be easily downloaded from
http://www.ibm.com/support/esa/.
Error messages
Lenovo provide error messages on the Web site and PDF file. If you are viewing the Web site, the list of
error codes and messages for UEFI/POST, IMM2, and DSA that are generated when a problem is detected
will display.
