PCI RAID Physical Disk Identify

This selection identifies physical disks connected to a PCI SCSI-2 F/W RAID adapter.

This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. The syntax of the command is
as follows:

diag -c -d pci RAID adapter -T identify

Process Supplemental Media

Diagnostic Supplemental Media contains all the necessary diagnostic programs and
files required to test a particular resource. The supplemental media is normally released
and shipped with the resource as indicated on the diskette label. Diagnostic
Supplemental Media must be used when the device support has not been incorporated
into the latest diagnostic CD-ROM.

This task processes the Diagnostic Supplemental Media. Insert the supplemental media
when you are prompted, then press Enter. After processing has completed, go to the
Resource Selection list to find the resource to test.

Run Diagnostics

The Run Diagnostics task invokes the Resource Selection List menu. When the commit
key is pressed, diagnostics are run on all selected resources.

The procedures for running the diagnostics depend on the state of the diagnostics
run-time options. See “Display or Change Diagnostic Run-Time Options” on page 126.

Run Error Log Analysis

The Run Error Log Analysis task invokes the Resource Selection List menu. When the
commit key is pressed, Error Log Analysis is run on all selected resources.

Run Exercisers

exercisers.

SELECTION menu displays. Select the exerciser you want to run. Each exerciser has
other menus to set options for that exerciser.
