v Certify Hardfile Attached to a Non-RAID SCSI AdapterThis selection reads all of the ID and data fields. It checks for bad data and countsall errors encountered. If the unrecovered data errors exceed the threshold value, thehardfile needs to be formatted and certified. If the recovered data errors, recovered(and unrecovered) equipment errors exceed the threshold values, the disk needs tobe replaced.This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. The syntax of thecommand is as follows:diag -c -d deviceName -T "certify"v Certify Hardfile attached to a PCI SCSI RAID AdapterThis selection is used to certify physical disks attached to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter.Certify reads the entire disk and checks for recovered errors, unrecovered errors,and reassigned errors. If these errors exceed the threshold values, the user isprompted to replace the physical disk.This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. The syntax of thecommand is as follows:diag -c -d < RAID adapterName -T "certify {-l chID | -A}"Flag Description-I Physical Disk channel/ID (for example: 27)-A All disksChange Hardware Vital Product DataUse this service aid to display the Display/Alter VPD Selection Menu. The menu lists allresources installed on the system. When a resource is selected, a menu displays thatlists all the VPD for that resource.Note: The user cannot alter the VPD for a specific resource unless it is not machinereadable.Configure Dials and LPFKeysThis service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials/LPFKs (LightedProgram Function Keys) to the asynchronous serial ports.A TTY must be defined on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can beconfigured on the port. Prior to AIX Version 4.2, the Dials and LPFKs could only beconfigured on the standard serial ports. For AIX Version 4.2 and later, the Dials andLPFKs can be configured on any async port.This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPFKs configuration. A TTYmust be in the available state on the async port before the Dials and LPFKs can beconfigured on the port. The task allows an async adapter to be configured, then a TTYport defined on the adapter, and then Dials and LPFKs can be defined on the port.116 User’s Guide
