Activating Or Deactivating An Identify Led By Using The Sdmc; Viewing Serviceable Events By Using The Sdmc; Verifying An Installed Part Or Replaced Part On A System Or Logical Partition By Using Virtual I/O Server Tools; Verifying The Installed Part By Using Vios - IBM 8202-E4B Manual

Activating or deactivating an identify LED by using the SDMC:

The system provides several LEDs that help identify various components, such as enclosures or field
replaceable units (FRUs). For this reason, they are called identify LEDs.
You can activate or deactivate the following types of identify LEDs:
v Identify LED for an enclosure If you want to add an adapter to a specific drawer (enclosure), you
need to know the machine type, model, and serial number (MTMS) of the drawer. To determine
whether you have the correct MTMS for the drawer that needs the new adapter, you can activate the
LED for a drawer and verify that the MTMS corresponds to the drawer that requires the new adapter.
v Identify LED for a FRU associated with a specified enclosure If you want to hook up a cable to a
specific I/O adapter, you can activate the LED for the adapter which is a field replaceable unit (FRU),
and then physically check to see where you should hook up the cable. This is especially useful when
you have several adapters with open ports.
To activate or deactivate an identify LED for an enclosure or FRU, follow these steps:
1. On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2. Select Actions > Service and Support > Hardware > Identify LED.
3. In the Identify LED, Select Enclosure window, select the system unit or enclosure.
4. To activate or deactivate an identify LED, click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The
associated LED is either turned on or off.
5. To activate or deactivate an identify LED for a FRU, select a system or enclosure from the table, and
then click List FRUs.
6. Select one or more FRUs from the table, and click either Activate LED or Deactivate LED. The
associated LED is either turned on or off.

Viewing serviceable events by using the SDMC

Use this procedure to view a serviceable event, including details, comments, and service history.
To view serviceable events, follow these steps:
1. On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2. Select Actions > System Status and Health > Event Log.
3. Optional: You can narrow the event criteria by using the Event filter menu.
4. Select a line in the Events window, and select Actions > Properties. The Properties window opens,
showing detailed information about the serviceable event. The table shows information, such as
problem number, reference code, and the field replaceable units (FRUs) associated with this event.
Verifying an installed part or replaced part on a system or logical
partition by using Virtual I/O Server tools
If you installed or replaced a part, you might want to use the tools in Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) to verify
that the part is recognized by the system or logical partition.

Verifying the installed part by using VIOS

You can verify the operation of a newly installed part or a replacement part.
Perform the following steps to verify an installed or replaced part:
1. Log in as root user.
2. At the command line, type diagmenu and press Enter.
3. Select Advanced Diagnostics Routines and press Enter.
4. From the Diagnostic Mode Selection menu, select System Verification and press Enter.
5. When the Advanced Diagnostic Selection menu appears, do one of the following steps:
