  • Page 95: Online Diagnostics Modes Of Operation

    Online Diagnostics Modes of Operation The online diagnostics can be run in the following three modes: v service mode v concurrent mode v maintenance mode Service Mode Service mode provides the most complete checkout of the system resources. This mode also requires that no other programs be running on the system. All system resources, except the SCSI adapter and the disk drives used for paging, can be tested.

  • Page 96: Concurrent Mode

    Concurrent Mode Use concurrent mode to run online diagnostics on some of the system resources while the system is running normal activity. Because the system is running in normal operation, the following resources cannot be tested in concurrent mode: v SCSI adapters connected to paging devices v Disk drive used for paging v Some display adapters and graphics related devices v Memory (tested during POST)

  • Page 97: Maintenance Mode

    Maintenance Mode Maintenance mode runs the online diagnostics using the customer’s version of the AIX operating system. This mode requires that all activity on the AIX operating system be stopped so the online diagnostics have most of the resources available to check. All of the system resources except the SCSI adapters, memory, processor, and the disk drive used for paging can be checked.

  • Page 99: Chapter 6. Introducing Tasks And Service Aids

    Chapter 6. Introducing Tasks and Service Aids The AIX diagnostic package contains programs that are called tasks . Tasks can be thought of as performing a specific function on a resource; for example, running diagnostics, or performing a service aid on a resource. This chapter describes the tasks available in AIX diagnostics version 4.2 and later.
