program then reads all of the ID and data fields on the diskette one time and
displays the total number of bad sectors found.
v Certify Hardfile Attached to a Non-RAID SCSI Adapter
This selection reads all of the ID and data fields. It checks for bad data and counts
all errors encountered. If the unrecovered data errors exceed the threshold value, the
hard file needs to be formatted and certified. If the recovered data errors, as well as
recovered and unrecovered equipment errors exceed the threshold values, the disk
needs to be replaced.
This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. See the following command
syntax: diag -c -d deviceName -T "certify"
v Certify Hardfile Attached to a PCI SCSI RAID Adapter
This selection is used to certify physical disks attached to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter.
Certify reads the entire disk and checks for recovered errors, unrecovered errors,
and reassigned errors. If these errors exceed the threshold values, the user is
prompted to replace the physical disk.
This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. See the following command
syntax: diag -c -d RAID adapterName -T "certify {-l chID | -A}"

Configure Dials and LPF Keys

Note: The Dials and LPF Keys service aid is not supported in standalone mode
This service aid provides a tool for configuring and moving dials and LPF Keys to the
asynchronous serial ports.
Since AIX 4.1.3, a TTY must be defined on the async port before the Dials and LPF
Keys can be configured on the port. Prior to AIX 4.2, the Dials and LPF Keys could only
be configured on the standard serial ports. In AIX 4.2 and later, the Dials and LPF Keys
can be configured on any async port.
This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPF Keys configuration. A TTY
must be in the available state on the async port before the Dials and LPF Keys can be
