This service aid displays all installed resources, along with any VPD for those
resources. Use this service aid when you want to look at the VPD for a specific
resource.
Display Machine Check Error Log
Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
When a machine check occurs, information is collected and logged in an NVRAM error
log before the system unit shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX error log
and cleared from NVRAM when the system is rebooted from the hard disk, LAN, or
standalone media. When booting from Standalone Diagnostics, this service aid converts
the logged information into a readable format that can be used to isolate the problem.
When booting from the hard disk or LAN, the information can be viewed from the AIX
error log using the Hardware Error Report Service Aid. In either case, the information is
analyzed when the sysplanar0 diagnostics are running in Problem Determination
Mode.
