Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) collects and analyzes system information to aid
in diagnosing server problems. DSA collects the following information about the
server:
– Drive health information
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
– Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
– Installed applications and hot fixes (available in DSA Portable only)
– Kernel modules (available in DSA Portable only)
– Light path diagnostics status
– Network interfaces and settings
– Performance data and details about processes that are running
– RAID and controller configuration
– Service processor (Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) status and
configuration
– System configuration
– Vital product data and firmware information
– IMM2 configuration information
– IMM2 enviromentals information
– Option card driver and firmware information
DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the
system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management module II
(IMM2) event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs.
You can send the DSA log as a file to a support representative or view the
information as a text file or HTML file.
v VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor
An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software
is available for purchase. Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables
multiple operating systems to run on a host system at the same time. Install the
USB flash device in the USB embedded hypervisor flash device connectors on
the system board (see "System-board internal connectors" on page 30). See
"Using the embedded hypervisor" on page 109 for additional information.
v Features on Demand
If a Features on Demand feature is integrated in the server or in an optional
device that is installed in the server, you can purchase an activation key to
activate the feature. For information about Features on Demand, see
/http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/fod/.
v High-performance graphics controller
The server comes with an onboard high-performance graphics controller that
supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features
for the operating-system environment..
v Mobile access to IBM Service Information website
The server provides a QR code on the system service label, which is on the
cover of the server, that you can scan using a QR code reader and scanner with
a mobile device to get quick access to the IBM Service Information website. The
IBM Service Information website provides additional information for parts
installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support. For the
QR code, see QR code information on page Chapter 1, "The IBM System x3100
M5 Type 5457 server," on page 1.
