• Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
The server comes with the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic program. DSA 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 creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically
ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI event log), the integrated management module (IMM)
event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file
to the Support website or view the information as a text file or HTML file.
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSA Preboot. For more
information about both editions, see "DSA editions" on page 68.
