Verifying the installed part by using an IBM i system or logical partition
If you have installed a new feature or part, verify that the system recognizes the feature or part by using
the IBM i system service tools.
Procedure
1. Deactivate the failing item indicator light. For instructions, see "Deactivating the indicator light by
using the IBM i operating system" on page 94.
2. Sign on with at least service level authority.
3. On the command line of the IBM i session, type strsst and press Enter.
Note: If you cannot navigate to the System Service Tools display, use function 21 from the control
panel. Alternatively, if the system is managed by Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the
Service Focal Point Utilities to navigate to the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display.
4. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the System Service Tools (SST) Sign On
display and press Enter.
Note: The service tools password is case-sensitive.
5. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and press Enter.
6. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display and press Enter.
7. Select Logical hardware resources (buses, IOPs, controllers) from the Hardware Service Manager
display and press Enter.
This option allows you to display and work with logical resources. Logical hardware resources are the
functional resources of the system used by the operating system.
Results
With the Logical Hardware Resources display, you can view logical hardware resource status or
information, and associated packaging hardware resources. Use the online Help information for details
about specific functions, fields, or symbols.
Verifying an installed part by using a Linux system or logical partition
Learn how to verify that the system recognizes a new or replacement part.
About this task
To verify the newly installed or replaced part, continue with "Verifying an installed part by using stand-
alone diagnostics" on page 88.
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.
Before you begin
• If this server is directly attached to another server or attached to a network, ensure communications
with the other servers have stopped.
• The stand-alone diagnostics require use of all of the logical partition resources. No other activity can be
running on the logical partition.
