Periodic DiagnosticsThis selection provides a tool for configuring periodic diagnostics and automatic error log analysis. You canselect a hardware resource to be tested once a day, at a user-specified time.Hardware errors logged against a resource can also be monitored by enabling automatic error loganalysis. This allows error log analysis to be performed every time a hardware error is put into the errorlog. If a problem is detected, a message is posted to the system console and either sent to the ServiceFocal Point when there is an attached HMC, or a mail message to the users belonging to the systemgroup containing information about the failure, such as the service request number.The service aid provides the following functions:v Add or delete a resource to the periodic test listv Modify the time to test a resourcev Display the periodic test listv Modify the error notification mailing listv Disable or enable automatic error log analysisPCI RAID Physical Disk IdentifyFor a description of the PCI RAID Physical Disk Identify task, see “SCSI RAID Physical Disk Status andVital Product Data” on page 122.Process Supplemental MediaProcess Supplemental Media contains all the necessary diagnostic programs and files required to test aparticular resource. The supplemental media is normally released and shipped with the resource asindicated on the diskette label. Diagnostic Supplemental Media must be used when the device support hasnot been incorporated into the latest diagnostic CD-ROM.This task processes the Diagnostic Supplemental Media. Insert the supplemental media when you areprompted; then press Enter. After processing has completed, go to the Resource Selection list to find theresource to test.Notes:1. This task is supported in Standalone Diagnostics only.2. Process and test one resource at a time. Run diagnostics after each supplemental media is processed.(for example; If you need to process two supplemental media, run diagnostics twice, once after eachsupplement media is processed.)Run DiagnosticsThe 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 103.Run Error Log AnalysisThe Run Error Log Analysis task invokes the Resource Selection List menu. When the commit key ispressed, Error Log Analysis is run on all selected resources.118 pSeries 610 Model 6C3 and Model 6E3 User’s Guide
