Dynamic System Analysis

Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server
problems. Lenovo provides DSA Preboot edition to users.
LXCE OneCLI collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. OneCLI 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
• Hardware inventory, including PCI and USB information
• Light path diagnostics status
• Network interfaces and settings
• Performance data and details about processes that are running
• RAID controller configuration
• Service processor (Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1)) status and configuration
• System configuration
• Vital product data and firmware information
For system-specific information about the action that you should take as a result of a message that DSA
generates, see Appendix C "DSA diagnostic test results" on page
If you cannot find a problem by using DSA, see
about testing the server.
Note: DSA Preboot might appear to be unresponsive when you start the program. This is normal symptom
while the program loads.
DSA Preboot
DSA Preboot runs outside of the operating system; you must restart the server to run it. It is provided in the
flash memory on the server, or you can create a bootable medium such as a CD or DVD using Lenovo
