DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event
log), the IMM event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA
log as a file to a support representative or view the information as a text file or HTML file.
In a multi-node environment, each node has a unique DSA interface. You can view node-specific information,
such as error logs, from these unique DSA interfaces.

DSA editions
This section describes DSA editions.
Two editions of DSA are available:
• DSA Portable DSA Portable Edition runs within the operating system; you do not have to restart the
compute node to run it. It is packaged as a self-extracting file that you download from the web. When you
run the file, it self-extracts to a temporary folder and performs comprehensive collection of hardware and
operating-system information. After it runs, it automatically deletes the temporary files and folder and
leaves the results of the data collection and diagnostics on the compute node.
If you are able to start the compute node, use DSA Portable.
• DSA Preboot DSA Preboot runs outside of the operating system; you must restart the compute node to
run it. It is packaged as an ISO image that you download from the web, or it is provided in flash memory
on the compute node. In addition to the capabilities of the other editions of DSA, DSA Preboot includes
diagnostic routines that would be disruptive to run within the operating-system environment (such as
resetting devices and causing loss of network connectivity). It has a graphical user interface that you can
use to specify which diagnostics to run and to view the diagnostic and data collection results.
If you are unable to restart the compute node or if you need comprehensive diagnostics, use DSA Preboot.
DSA Preboot performs the following tasks:
– Collects system information into a compressed XML file that you can send to Support
– Provides a bootable image that you can use to run extended hardware tests independent of the
operating system or applications
– Collects the version and license information from local VMware ESXi hypervisor software
Running DSA Preboot
Use this information to run DSA Preboot.
To run the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs, complete the following steps:
1. If the compute node is turned on, turn off the compute node (see “Turning off the compute node” on
page 16).
2. If necessary, connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the console breakout cable and connect the
console breakout cable to the compute node.
3. Turn on the compute node (see “Turning on the compute node” on page 15).
4. When the prompt
<F2> Diagnostics
is displayed, press F2.
