Configure Surveillance Policy

This service aid monitors the system for hang conditions; that is, hardware or software
failures that cause operating system inactivity. When enabled, and surveillance detects
operating system inactivity, a call is placed to report the failure.
Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Surveillance
Policy.
Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings might not be
v Surveillance (on/off)
v Surveillance Time Interval
This is the maximum time between heartbeats from the operating system.
v Surveillance Time Delay
This is the time to delay between when the operating system is in control and when
to begin operating system surveillance.
v Changes are to Take Effect Immediately
Set this to Yes if the changes made to the settings in this menu are to take place
immediately. Otherwise, the changes take effect beginning with the next system boot.
You can access this service aid directly from the AIX command line, by typing:
/usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin/uspchrp -s

Create Customized Configuration Diskette

This selection invokes the Diagnostic Package Utility Service Aid, which allows the user
to create a standalone diagnostic package configuration diskette.
The Standalone Diagnostic Package Configuration Diskette allows the following to be
changed from the console:
v Default refresh rate for a low function terminal (LFT)
The refresh rate used by the standalone diagnostic package is 60 Hz. If the display's
refresh rate is 77 Hz, then set the refresh rate to 77.
v Different async terminal console
You can create a console configuration file that allows a terminal attached to any
RS232 or RS422 adapter to be selected as a console device. The default device is
an RS232 tty attached to the first standard serial port (S1).

Use this task to delete resources from the resource list.
Note: Only resources that were previously detected by the diagnostics and have not
displayed by this service aid:
been deleted from the Diagnostic Test List are listed. If no resources are
available to be deleted, then none are listed.
