Verifying the installed part by using an IBM i system or logical partition
If you have installed a new feature or part, verify that the system recognizes the feature or part by using
the IBM i system service tools.
To verify the installed part, complete the following steps:
1. Deactivate the failing item indicator light. For instructions, see "Deactivating the indicator light by
using the IBM i operating system" on page 95.
2. Sign on with at least service level authority.
3. On the command line of the IBM i session, type strsst and press Enter.
Note: If you cannot get to the System Service Tools display, use function 21 from the control panel.
Alternatively, if the system is managed by Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the Service
Focal Point Utilities to get to the Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display.
4. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the System Service Tools (SST) Sign On
display and press Enter.
Note: The service tools password is case-sensitive.
5. Select Start a service tool from the System Service Tools (SST) display and press Enter.
6. Select Hardware service manager from the Start a Service Tool display and press Enter.
7. Select Logical hardware resources (buses, IOPs, controllers) from the Hardware Service Manager
display and press Enter. This option allows you to display and work with logical resources. Logical
hardware resources are the functional resources of the system used by the operating system.
With the Logical Hardware Resources display, you can show logical hardware resource status or
information, and associated packaging hardware resources. Use the online Help information to better
understand specific functions, fields, or symbols.
Verifying an installed part by using a Linux system or logical partition
Learn how to verify that the system recognizes a new or replacement part.
To verify the newly installed or replaced part, continue with "Verifying an installed part by using
stand-alone diagnostics."
Verifying an installed part by using stand-alone diagnostics
If you have installed or replaced a part, verify that the system recognizes the new part. You can use
stand-alone diagnostics to verify an installed part in an AIX or Linux system, expansion unit, or logical
partition.
v If this server is directly attached to another server or attached to a network, ensure communications
with the other servers have stopped.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require use of all of the logical partition resources. No other activity can be
running on the logical partition.
v The stand-alone diagnostics require access to the system console.
You access these diagnostics from a CD-ROM or from the Network Installation Management (NIM)
server. This procedure describes how to use the diagnostics from a CD-ROM. For information on running
diagnostics from the NIM server, see Running stand-alone diagnostics from a Network Installation
Management server.
To use stand-alone diagnostics, follow these steps:
1. Stop all jobs and applications and then stop the operating system on the system or logical partition.
