To prevent problems that can occur when running this service aid from disk, it is suggested that this
service aid be run, when possible, from the diagnostics that are loaded from removable media.
Display/Alter Sector
Note: Use caution when you use this service aid because inappropriate modification to some disk sectors
can result in the total loss of all data on the disk.
This selection allows the user to display and alter information on a disk sector. Sectors are addressed by
their decimal sector number. Data is displayed both in hex and in ASCII. To prevent corrupted data from
being incorrectly corrected, the service aid does not display information that cannot be read correctly.
Display Configuration and Resource List
If a device is not included in the Test List or if you think a Diagnostic Package for a device is not loaded,
check by using the Display Configuration and Resource List task. If the device you want to test has a plus
(+) sign or a minus (-) sign preceding its name, the Diagnostic Package is loaded. If the device has an
asterisk (*) preceding its name, the Diagnostic Package for the device is not loaded or is not available.
This service aid displays the item header only for all installed resources. Use this service aid when there is
no need to see the vital product data (VPD). (No VPD is displayed.)
Display Firmware Device Node Information
This task displays the firmware device node information. This service aid is intended to gather more
information about individual or particular devices on the system. The format of the output data may differ
depending on which level of the AIX operating system is installed.
Display Hardware Error Report
This service aid uses the errpt command to view the hardware error log.
The Display Error Summary and Display Error Detail selection provide the same type of report as the errpt
command. The Display Error Analysis Summary and Display Error Analysis Detail selection provide
additional analysis.
This service aid provides a means to view hardware errors logged against a resource or set of resources
and displays a summary screen of all hardware errors logged against any resource in the list. From the
summary screen, errors can be selected to be viewed in more detail. The detailed output is acquired using
errpt -a. On both the error summary and error detail screens, errors that generated a diagnostic
conclusion will have this information presented with the error. Depending on the environment and the
software packages installed, selecting this task displays the following subtasks:
v Display Hardware Errors for Any Resource
v Display Hardware Errors for PCI-X SCSI RAID Adapters
v Display Hardware Errors for PCI-X SCSI Adapters
Display Hardware Errors for Any Resource
This subtask allows the user to select any resource or set of resources for the purpose of displaying their
hardware errors.
