Identify And System Attention Indicators; Local Area Network Analyzer - IBM p 655 series User Manual

v Set this Slot to Normal. This selection resets the identify and removal indications. This is the normal
operating state of the slot, when no identify, removal, nor insert operations are being performed.
v Set this Slot for Insert. This selection sets the slot for insertion of a device into the SES, and sets the
indicator associated with the slot to the state indicating that a device may be inserted into that slot.

Identify and System Attention Indicators

Note: Prior to Diagnostics version 5.1.0.35, this task may also have been known as the System Identify
Indicator or Identify Indicators task.
This task is used to display or set the Identify Indicators and the single system attention indicator on the
systems that support this function.
Some systems may support the Identify Indicators or the Attention Indicators. The Identify Indicator is used
to help physically identify the system in a large equipment room. The Attention Indicator is used to help
physically identify a system with a fault in a large equipment room.
When a fault has been detected on a system that supports the Attention Indicator, the Indicator is set to an
Attention condition. After the failing system has been identified and the problem fixed, the Attention
Indicator changes back to normal. This should be done by the Log Repair Action Task.
Note: It is important to run the Log Repair Action function. This action keeps the Fault Indicator from
going back to the Fault state due to a previous error in the error log that has already been serviced.
For additional information concerning the use of this indicator, refer to the service guide.
This task can also be run directly from the command line by typing
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/usysident [-s {normal | identify}] [-l location code]
Flag Description
-s {normal | identify}
Sets the state of the System Identify Indicator to either normal or identify.
-l location code
Identifies the resource by physical location code.
When this command is used without the -l flag, the Primary Enclosure resource is used.
Use the -l flag only in systems that have more than one Identify and System attention indicator.
When this command is used without -s flag, the current state of the identify indicator is displayed.
For more information on the tasks, see Chapter 7, "Introducing Tasks and Service Aids," on page 73.

Local Area Network Analyzer

This selection is used to exercise the LAN communications adapters (Token Ring, Ethernet, and (FDDI)
Fiber Distributed Data Interface). The following services are available:
v Connectivity testing between two network stations. Data is transferred between the two stations,
requiring the user to provide the Internet addresses of both stations.
v Monitoring ring (Token Ring only). The ring is monitored for a specified period of time. Soft and hard
errors are analyzed.
