Running the online and eServer(TM) stand-alone diagnostics
Use these tools to diagnose hardware problems on your AIX(R) or Linux(R) systems or
partitions.
Use these diagnostics only if you are directed to do so by your
next level of support or your hardware service provider.
Diagnostics
are available for AIX and Linux systems or logical partitions
which can help you perform hardware analysis. Additionally, there are various
service aids in AIX diagnostics
that can help you with service tasks on the system or logical partition. If
there is a problem, you will receive a Service Request Number (SRN) that can
help you pinpoint the problem and determine a corrective action.
If
you have AIX installed
and it is running, you can perform online diagnostics. However, if the installed AIX cannot
be started, or you have Linux installed, you will need to run the diagnostics
from CD or from a NIM server.

- Running the eServer stand-alone diagnostics
from CD-ROM
If the system or logical partition where you would like to run diagnostics has AIX installed but it cannot be started, or you have Linux installed, use this procedure to perform diagnostic procedures from CD-ROM when directed from another procedure or by your next level of support.
- Running the eServer stand-alone diagnostics
from a Network Installation Management server
If the system or logical partition where you would like to run diagnostics has AIX installed but it cannot be started, or you have Linux installed, use this procedure to perform diagnostic procedures from a Network Installation Management (NIM) server when directed from another procedure or by your next level of support.
