With the toolkit installed, problem determination and correction is greatly enhanced and the likelihood of an extended system outage is reduced. The Linux service aids for hardware diagnostics are separate from the operating system installation and are available for download from the following Web site: http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/lopdiags/. Note: The following steps can only be performed if the Linux service tools have been installed on the JS20 blade server. Step 001 1. If the blade server is functional, determine your level of Linux by logging in to the blade server as the root user and entering the following command: ls -l /var/log/platform If the /var/log/platform file exists, go to substep 2. 2. Use the following command to list diagela messages recorded in the Linux Syslog (platform log): cat /var/log/platform |grep diagela |more Linux run-time diagela error messages are logged in the platform file under /var/log. The following illustration shows an example of the Linux Syslog (platform log) error log diagela messages. Chapter 7. Diagnostics 41
