DSA Portable create a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of
the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management
module (IMM) chassis-event log (as the ASM event log), and the
operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to IBM
service (when requested by service) or view the information as a text file or
HTML file.
Note: Use the latest available version of DSA to make sure you are using the
most recent configuration data. For documentation and download information
for DSA, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/.
For additional information, see "IBM Dynamic System Analysis" on page 127
and Appendix C, "DSA diagnostic test results," on page 611.
– DSA Preboot
DSA Preboot diagnostic program is stored in the integrated USB memory on
the server. DSA Preboot collects and analyzes system information to aid in
diagnosing server problems, as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of
the major components of the server. DSA Preboot collects the following
information about the server:
- Drive health information
- Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
- IMM2 configuration information
- IMM2 environmental information
- Installed hardware, including PCI and USB information
- Light path diagnostics status
- Microprocessor, input/out hub, and UEFI error logs
- Network interfaces and settings
- Option card driver and firmware information
- RAID controller configuration
- Service processor (integrated management module) status and
configuration
- System configuration
- Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI configuration
DSA Preboot also provides diagnostics for the following system components
(when they are installed):
1. Network adapter
2. IMM 12C bus
3. Lightpath diagnostics panel
4. Memory modules
5. Microprocessors
6. Optical devices (CD or DVD)
7. SAS or SATA drives
8. Tape drives (SCSI)
9. LSI controller
