Hardware service manager Verify option

Use the hardware service manager to verify communications or devices.

To verify communications or devices on any System i® model using the hardware service manager Verify option, perform the following procedure:

Note: Before running a verification test, ensure that the customer is not using the resource you want to test and that all communication jobs on the resource to be tested are ended.
  1. From the Start a Service Tool display, select the Hardware Service Manager option.
  2. From the Hardware Service Manager display, select the Logical hardware resources option.
  3. From the Logical Hardware Resources display, select the System bus resources option.

    This display lists all the I/O processors.

  4. Select the Resources associated with IOP option for the attached IOP in the list.
  5. Select the Verify option for the communications, tape, optical storage unit, or File Server adapter that you want to test.
  6. When the test completes, the system responds with either a Test is successful message or a Test failed message.

    This ends the procedure.

Notes:
  1. Hardware units might perform automatic self-tests when they are powered on.
  2. You can test some workstations by using the Test Request function key while the operating system Sign On display is shown.
  3. See the specific device information for possible off-line tests that you can run.
