pSeries Information
Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select AIX documentation . The
AIX Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating system, including
system-management and end-user documentation.
To verify that the client system is registered on the NIM server and the diagnostic boot is enabled, run the
lsnim -a Cstate -Z ClientName command from the command line on the NIM server. Refer to the
following table for system responses.
Note: The ClientName is the name of the system on which you want to run standalone diagnostics.
System Response Client Status
#name:Cstate:
ClientName:diagnostic boot has been
enabled:
The client system is registered on the NIM server and
enabled to run diagnostics from the NIM server.
#name:Cstate:
ClientName:ready for a NIM operation:
or
#name:Cstate:
ClientName:BOS installation has been
enabled:
The client is registered on the NIM server but not enabled
to run diagnostics from the NIM server.
Note: If the client system is registered on the NIM server
but Cstate has not been set, no data will be returned.

Client Configuration and Booting Standalone Diagnostics from the NIM
Server
To run standalone diagnostics on a client from the NIM server, do the following:
1. Remove any removable media (tape or CD-ROM disc).
2. Stop all programs including the operating system (get help if needed).
3. If you are running standalone diagnostics in a full system partition, verify with the system administrator
and system users that the system unit can shut down. Stop all programs, including the operating
system. Refer to the operating system documentation for
shutdown command information.
In a partitioned system, make the CD-ROM drive available to the partition used to run standalone
diagnostics (refer to the
IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations
Guide for more information). Verify with the system administrator and system users using that partition
that all applications on that partition must be stopped, and that the partition will be rebooted. Stop all
programs on that partition, including the operating system.
4. If you are in a full system partition, power on the system unit to run standalone diagnostics. In a
partitioned system, reboot the partition to run standalone diagnostics.
5. When the keyboard indicator is displayed (the word keyboard ), press the number 1 key on the
keyboard to display the SMS menu.
6. Enter any requested passwords.
7. Select Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load) .
