Verifying the partition configuration
Perform this procedure if there is a configuration problem with the system or a logical partition.
Procedure
1. Check the processor and memory allocations of the system or the partition. Processor or memory
resources that fail during system startup could cause the startup problem in the partition. Make sure
that the processor and memory have enough functioning resources in the system for all the partitions.
2. Check the bus and virtual adapter allocations for the partition. Make sure that the partition has load
source and console I/O resources.
3. Make sure that the boot mode partition properties are set to normal.
4. If the problem remains, contact your software service provider for further assistance.
Running the diagnostics program
You can start or run the diagnostics program from a CD or from a management server.
Starting stand-alone diagnostics
Perform these procedures to start the stand-alone diagnostics from a CD or flash drive. These procedures
can be used if the compute node is running a Linux operating system.
About this task
You can download the latest version of the stand-alone diagnostics from the Standalone Diagnostics CD
page.
Procedure
1. Verify with the system administrator and system users that the compute node might be shut down.
Stop all programs, and then shut down the operating system and shut down the compute node. See
the documentation that comes with your operating system documentation for information about
shutting down the operating system.
