Periodic diagnostics

This selection provides a tool for configuring periodic diagnostics and automatic error log analysis. A hardware resource can be chosen to be tested once a day, at a user specified time. If the resource cannot be tested because it is busy, error log analysis is performed. Hardware errors logged against a resource can also be monitored by enabling Automatic Error Log Analysis. This allows error log analysis to be performed every time a hardware error is put into the error log. If a problem is detected, a message is posted to the system console and a mail message sent to the user(s) belonging to the system group with information about the failure such as Service Request Number.

The Service Aid provides the following functions:

• Add or delete a resource to the periodic test list
• Modify the time to test a resource
• Display the periodic test list
• Modify the error notification mailing list
• Disable or Enable Automatic Error Log Analysis
