You can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the
troubleshooting procedures that IBM provides in the DS Storage Manager online
help or in the documents that are provided with your system and software. The
information that comes with your system also describes the diagnostic tests that
you can perform. Most subsystems, operating systems, and programs come with
information that contains troubleshooting procedures and explanations of error
messages and error codes. If you suspect a software problem, see the information
for the operating system or program.

Using the documentation

Information about your IBM system and preinstalled software, if any, is available in
the documents that come with your system. This includes printed books, online
documents, readme files, and help files. See the troubleshooting information in your
system documentation for instructions for using the diagnostic programs. The
troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs might tell you that you need
additional or updated device drivers or other software.
