v Read VPD Image from last system boot
Displays manufacture's vital product data (VPD), such as serial numbers, part
numbers, and so on, that were stored from the system the boot prior to the one in
progress now.
v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays the boot progress indicators (checkpoints), up to a maximum of 100, from
the system boot prior to the one in progress. This historical information can help to
diagnose system faults.
The progress indicators are displayed in two sections. Above the dashed line are the
progress indicators (latest) from the boot that produced the current sessions. Below
the dashed line are progress indicators (oldest) from the boot preceding the one that
produced the current sessions.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest). If the <---
arrow occurs, use the 4-digit checkpoint or 8-character error code being pointed to as
the beginning of your service actions.
v Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays error conditions detected by the service processor.
The time stamp in this error log is Coordinated Universal Time (CUT), also known as
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). AIX error logs have additional information available
and are able to time stamp the errors with the local time. See "Error Log" on
page 200 for an example of the error log.
