Verifying the installed part by using the HMC

If you have installed or replaced a part, use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) to update your HMC records after you have completed a service action on your server. If you have reference codes, symptoms, or location codes that you used during the service action, locate the records for use during this procedure.

Procedure

  1. At the HMC, examine the service action event log for any open service action events. See Viewing serviceable events by using the HMC for details.
  2. Are there any service action events that are open?
    • No: If the system attention LED is still on, use the HMC to turn off the LED. See Deactivating LEDs by using the HMC. This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
  3. Record the list of open service action events.
  4. Examine the details of the open service action event. Is the error code associated with this service action event the same as you gathered earlier.
    • No: Choose one of the following options:
      • Review the other serviceable events, find an event that does match, and continue with the next step.
      • If the log information does not match what you had gathered earlier, contact your service provider.
    • Yex: Continue with the next step.
  5. Select and highlight the service action event from the Error Associated With This Serviceable Event window.
  6. Click Close Event.
  7. Add comments for the serviceable event. Include any unique additional information. Click OK.
  8. Did you replace, add, or modify a field replaceable unit (FRU) of the open service action event?
    • No: Select the No FRU Replaced for this Serviceable Event option, and click OK to close the service action event.
    • Yes: Perform the following steps:
      1. From the FRU list, select a FRU that you want to update.
      2. Double-click the FRU and update the FRU information.
      3. Click OK to close the service action event.
  9. If you continue to have problems, contact your service provider.
