• System configuration
• Vital product data and firmware information
For system-specific information about the action that you should take as a result of a message that DSA
generates, see Appendix C “DSA diagnostic test results” on page 549.
If you cannot find a problem by using DSA, see “Solving undetermined problems” on page 141 for
information about testing the server.
Note: DSA Preboot might appear to be unresponsive when you start the program. This is normal operation
while the program loads.
Make sure that the server has the latest version of the DSA code. To obtain
DSA code and the
Dynamic System Analysis Installation and User's Guide , go to

DSA editions
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available.
• DSA Portable
DSA Portable Edition runs within the operating system; you do not have to restart the server 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 server.
If you are unable to restart the server, use DSA Portable.
• DSA Preboot
DSA Preboot runs outside of the operating system; you must restart the server to run it. It is provided
in the flash memory on the server, or you can create a bootable media such as a CD, DVD, ISO, USB,
or PXE using the ToolsCenter Bootable Media Creator (BoMC). For more details, see the BoMC
User
Guide at http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=LNVO-BOMC. 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.
DSA Preboot provides diagnostics for the following system components, if they are installed:
– Emulex network adapter
– Optical devices (CD or DVD)
– Tape drives (SCSI, SAS, or SATA)
– Memory
– Microprocessor
– Checkpoint panel
– I2C bus
– SAS and SATA drives
