v Read VPD Image from Last System Boot
Displays manufacturer's vital product data (VPD), such as serial numbers, part numbers, and so on, that
was stored from the system boot prior to the one in progress now. VPD from all devices in the system is
displayed.
v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays a number of the boot progress indicators, which may include service processor checkpoints,
IPL checkpoints, or AIX configuration codes, from the previous system boot. This information can be
useful in diagnosing system faults.
Note: If you are running from a partitioned system, enter the partition ID (0-15) to display progress
indicators for that partition since the last system boot. In a full system partition, this option
automatically displays details from partition 0.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest).
This information is not stored in nonvolatile storage. If the system is powered off using the power-on
button on the operator panel, this information is retained. If the ac power is disconnected from the
system, this information will be lost. For an example, refer to "LCD Progress Indicator Log" on page 758.
v Read Service Processor Error Logs
Displays error conditions detected by the service processor. Refer to "Service Processor Error Logs" on
page 757 for an example of this error log.
v Read System POST Errors
