Standalone Diagnostics (POWER® processor-based only)

Missing Options Resolution procedure is not run during Standalone Diagnostics. The reason for this is that there is no previous configuration database for the Diagnostic Controller to compare against with the new devices detected at boot time.

Therefore, only the NEW RESOURCES menu is seen during Standalone Diagnostics. This menu presents a list of all the resources found in the system at the time the Standalone Diagnostics were booted.

The user is given a list of choices to make during this time. If the system contains ISA adapters, then these adapters will not appear in the list. ISA adapters are not detectable, therefore an option is presented to the user to help in the configuration of these adapters.
