Display Hardware Error Report

This service aid provides a tool for viewing the hardware error log. It uses the

errpt

command.

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.

Display Hardware Vital Product Data

This service aid displays all installed resources along with any VPD for those
resources. Use this service aid when you want to look at the VPD for a specific
resource.

Display Machine Check Error Log

Note: The Machine Check Error Log Service Aid is available only on Standalone
Diagnostics.

When a machine check occurs, information is collected and logged in a NVRAM
error log before the server shuts down. This information is logged in the AIX error
log and cleared from NVRAM when the system is rebooted from the hard disk, LAN,
or standalone media. When booting from Standalone Diagnostics, this service aid
can take the logged information and turn it into a readable format that can be used to
isolate the problem. When booting from the hard disk or LAN, the information can
be viewed from the AIX error log using the Hardware Error Report Service Aid. In
either case the information is analyzed when running the sysplanar0 diagnostics in
Problem Determination Mode.

Display Microcode Level

The following usage statements describe the syntax of the command to display the
current level of microcode on an adapter or device.

Usage:

diag -c -d -T "disp_mcode"
