Activating the indicator light for a part by using the VIOS tools

You can use Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) tools to activate the indicator light to physically locate a part.

To turn on the indicator light for identifying a part, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in as root user.
  2. At the command line, type diagmenu and press Enter.
  3. From the Function Selection menu, select Task Selection and press Enter.
  4. From the Task Selection menu, select Identify and Attention Indicators and press Enter.
  5. From the list of lights, select the location code for the failing part and press Enter.
  6. Select Commit. This turns on the system attention and indicator light for the part.
    Important: A flashing amber LED indicates the location of the part and a solid amber LED indicates that the part is failing.
  7. Exit to the command line.
