Viewing serviceable events by using the SDMC

Use this procedure to view a serviceable event, including details, comments, and service history.
To view serviceable events, follow these steps:
1. On the Resources tab, select the appropriate host or virtual server.
2. Select Actions > System Status and Health > Event Log.
3. Optional: You can narrow the event criteria by using the Event filter menu.
4. Select a line in the Events window, and select Actions > Properties. The Properties window opens,
showing detailed information about the serviceable event. The table shows information, such as
problem number, reference code, and the field replaceable units (FRUs) associated with this event.
Verifying an installed part or replaced part on a system or logical
partition by using Virtual I/O Server tools
If you installed or replaced a part, you might want to use the tools in Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) to verify
that the part is recognized by the system or logical partition.

Verifying the installed part by using VIOS

You can verify the operation of a newly installed part or a replacement part.
Perform the following steps to verify an installed or replaced part:
1. Log in as root user.
2. At the command line, type diagmenu and press Enter.
3. Select Advanced Diagnostics Routines and press Enter.
4. From the Diagnostic Mode Selection menu, select System Verification and press Enter.
5. When the Advanced Diagnostic Selection menu appears, do one of the following steps:
v To test a single resource, select the resource that you just installed from the list of resources and
press Enter.
v To test all the resources available to the operating system, select All Resources and press Enter.
6. Select Commit, and wait until the diagnostic programs run to completion, responding to any prompts
that appear.
7. Did the diagnostics run to completion and display the message No trouble was found?
v No: If a service request number (SRN) or other reference code is displayed, suspect a loose adapter
or cable connection. Review the installation procedures to ensure that the new part is installed
correctly. If you cannot correct the problem, collect all SRNs or any other reference code
information that you see. If the system is running in LPAR mode, note the logical partition in
which you installed the part. Contact your service provider for assistance.
v Yes: The new device is installed correctly. Exit the diagnostic programs and return the system to
normal operations.

Verify the replacement part by using VIOS

To verify the operation of a newly installed part or replacement part, complete the following steps:
1. Did you replace the part by using either VIOS or the online diagnostics service aid's concurrent
(hot-swap) service operation?
v No: Go to step 2.
v Yes: Go to step 5 on page 51.
2. Is the system powered off?
v No: Go to step 4 on page 51.
