Systems Director Management Console diagnostics

Learn to use the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) diagnostics when determining the
state or capability of a component found in the SDMC to perform its functions.
If a problem is determined to be in your SDMC, you need to read, understand, and perform the
procedures found in this section.
The SDMC problem analysis procedure guides you to the appropriate repair action. Occasionally, you
will be directed to the maintenance documentation for the SDMC PC. When this situation occurs, the
maintenance documentation for the PC is used to complete the repair action.
SDMC system reference code
System reference codes (SRCs) are the foundation of the SDMC diagnostics.
All SRCs, also know as error codes, that pertain to the function of the SDMC can be found in System
reference codes (Cxxx-Hxxx).
SDMC connection error codes are 6 digits in length and begin with a 0. All other SDMC error codes are 8
digits in length and begin with the alphabetic characters HSC. The SDMC error codes are organized in
the following categories:
v 0xxxxx connection error codes
v HSCExxxx console event error codes
v HSCFxxxx Licensed Internal Code error codes
v HSCIxxxx inventory scout services error codes
v HSCLxxxx error codes
v HSCPxxxx platform management error codes
v HSCSxxxx Service Focal Point error codes
