RAID Hot Plug Devices

This selection starts the PCI SCSI-2 F/W RAID Adapter Service Aid.

Local Area Network Analyzer

This selection is used to exercise the LAN communications adapters (Token-Ring,

Ethernet, and (FDDI) Fiber Distributed Data Interface). The following services are

available:

 Connectivity testing between two network stations. Data is transferred between

the two stations, requiring the user to provide the Internet addresses of both

stations.

 Monitoring ring (Token-Ring only). The ring is monitored for a specified period of

time. Soft and hard errors are analyzed.

Log Repair Action

The Log Repair Action task logs a repair action in the AIX Error Log. A Repair

Action log indicates that a FRU has been replaced, and error log analysis should not

be done for any errors logged before the repair action. The Log Repair Action task

lists all resources. Replaced resources can be selected from the list, and when

commit (F7 key) is selected, a repair action is logged for each selected resource.

Periodic Diagnostics

This selection provides a tool for configuring periodic diagnostics and automatic error

log analysis. You can select a hardware resource to be tested once a day, at a

user-specified time. If the resource cannot be tested because it is busy, error log

analysis is performed.

Hardware errors logged against a resource can also be monitored by enabling

Automatic Error Log Analysis. This allows error log analysis to be performed every

time a hardware error is put into the error log. If a problem is detected, a message is

posted to the system console and a mail message sent to the users belonging to the

system group, containing information about the failure, such as the service request

number.
