If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem remains, replace the component that was being tested when the server stopped. Diagnostic text messages Diagnostic text messages are displayed while the tests are running. A diagnostic text message contains one of the following results: Passed: The test was completed without any errors. Failed: The test detected an error. Aborted: The test could not proceed because of the server configuration. Viewing the test log You can use one of the following methods to access the test log when the tests are completed: v From the DSA command line, issue the DSA CLI view command or select Diagnostic Event Log from the DSA graphical user interface (GUI). v From the DSA interactive menu, select getextendedresults . v From the DSA interactive menu, select view to view all of the collected results and error log data. v In the DSA GUI, select DSA Error Log from the System Information page. You can send the DSA error log file to IBM service and support to aid in diagnosing the server problems or you can use the DSA CLI copy command to copy the log to an external USB device. Diagnostic messages The following table describes the messages that the diagnostic programs might generate and suggested actions to correct the detected problems. Follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the action column. Important: The DSA diagnostic programs do not support USB CD-ROM drives. If you run the DSA diagnostic programs while any USB CD-ROM drives are attached, ignore any optical drive test results that are returned for USB CD-ROM drives. You can also remove USB CD-ROM drives before you run the DSA diagnostic programs to get accurate optical drive test results. To remove a remotely mounted USB CD-ROM drive, you might have to unmount the remote disk through the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web interface. Chapter 5. Diagnostics 157
