If you installed feature or replaced a part, you might
want to use the tools in the AIX® operating
system to verify that the feature or part is recognized by the system
or logical partition.

From the Diagnostic Mode Selection menu, select System
Verification and press Enter.

When the Advanced Diagnostic Selection menu appears, select one of the
following options:
- To test a single resource, select the resource that you installed from the list of resources and
press Enter.
- To test all the resources that are available to the operating system, select All
Resources and press Enter.

responding to any prompts that appear.
-
Did the diagnostics run to completion and display the message
No trouble was
found?
- No: If a service request number (SRN) or other reference code is displayed, suspect a
loose adapter or cable connection. Review the installation procedures to ensure that the new feature
is installed correctly. If you cannot correct the problem, collect all SRNs or any other reference
code information that is displayed. If the system is running in logical partitioning (LPAR) mode,
note the logical partition in which you installed the feature. Contact your service provider for
assistance.
- Yes: The new device is installed correctly. Exit the diagnostic programs and return the
system to normal operations.
