• Dynamic System Analysis
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) are available for diagnosing problems, DSA Portable and
DSA Preboot:
– DSA Portable
DSA Portable collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. DSA
Portable runs on the server operating system and 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
– Installed applications and hot fixes
– Kernel modules
– 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 Portable 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 Lenovo Support (when requested
by Lenovo Support) 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
