As you run the diagnostic programs, text messages are displayed on the screen
and are saved in the test log. A diagnostic text message indicates that a problem
has been detected and provides the action that you should take as a result of the
text message.
DSA collects information about the following aspects of a system:
v
Drive health information

v IBM light path diagnostics status
v
LSI RAID and controller configuration
v
Network interfaces and settings
v

v
LSI 1064e SAS RAID controller
v

Additionally, DSA creates a merged log that includes events from all collected logs.
You can output all the collected information as a compressed XML file that you
can send to IBM service and support, view the information locally through a
generated text report file, or copy the generated HTML pages to removable media
and view them in a Web browser. See “Running the diagnostic programs” for more
information.
If you cannot find a problem by using the diagnostic programs, see “Solving
undetermined problems” on page 164 for information about testing the blade
server.
Running the diagnostic programs
Important: The DSA diagnostic programs do not support USB CD drives. If you
run the DSA diagnostic programs while any USB CD drives are attached, ignore
any optical drive test results that are returned for USB CD drives. You can also
remove USB CD drives before you run the DSA diagnostic programs to get
accurate optical drive test results.
To run the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs, complete the following steps:
1. If the blade server is running, turn off the blade server and all attached devices
(see “Turning off the blade server” on page 6).
