Verifying the installed part in a Linux system or logical partition

If you have installed a new part, learn how to verify that the system recognizes the part.
To verify the newly installed or replaced part, continue with "Verifying an installed part by using
stand-alone diagnostics."

Verifying an installed part by using stand-alone diagnostics

If you have installed or replaced a part, verify that the system recognizes the new part. You can use
stand-alone diagnostics to verify an installed part in an AIX or Linux system, expansion unit, or logical
partition.
v If this server is directly attached to another server or attached to a network, ensure communications
with the other servers have stopped.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require use of all of the logical partition resources. No other activity can be
running on the logical partition.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require access to the system console.
You access these diagnostics from a CD-ROM or from the Network Installation Management (NIM)
server. This procedure describes how to use the diagnostics from a CD-ROM. For information on running
diagnostics from the NIM server, see Running stand-alone diagnostics from a Network Installation
Management server.
To use stand-alone diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Stop all jobs and applications and then stop the operating system on the system or logical partition.
2. Remove all tapes, diskettes, and CD-ROM.
3. Turn off the system unit power. The next step boots the server or logical partition from the
stand-alone diagnostics CD-ROM. If the optical drive is not available as a boot device on the server
or logical partition on which you are working, follow these steps:
a. Access the ASMI. For information on using the ASMI, see Accessing the ASMI.
b. On the ASMI main menu, click Power/Restart Control.
