2. Turn off the blade server and wait 45 seconds before proceeding.
3. Turn on the blade server and establish an SOL session.
4. Check for the following responses:
a. Progress codes are recorded in the management-module event log.

Can you load the stand-alone diagnostics?
Go to "Solving undetermined problems" on page 227.
No
Yes Select the resources to be tested and record any SRNs; then go to "Service request

Verifying the partition configuration

Perform this procedure if there is a configuration problem with the system or a logical partition.
1. Check the processor and memory allocations of the system or the partition. Processor or memory
resources that fail during system startup could cause the startup problem in the partition. Make sure
that there are enough functioning processor and memory resources in the system for all the partitions.
2. Check the bus and virtual adapter allocations for the partition. Make sure that the partition has load
source and console I/O resources.
3. Make sure that the Boot Mode partition properties are set to Normal.
4. If the problem remains, contact your software service provider for further assistance.

Running the diagnostics program

You can start or run the diagnostics program from the AIX operating system, from a CD, or from a
management server.

Starting AIX concurrent diagnostics

Perform this procedure to start AIX concurrent diagnostics from the AIX operating system.
1. Log in to the AIX operating system as root user, or use the CE login. See "Creating a CE login" on
page 265 for more information. If you need help, contact the system operator.
2. Type diag and press Enter at the operating system prompt to start the diagnostics program and
display its Function Selection menu. See "Using the diagnostics program" on page 189 for more
information about running the diagnostics program.
