Diagnostics

Overview

Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) for Lenovo x86 servers collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing system problems. DSA collects information about the following aspects of a system:

System configuration
Installed applications and hot fixes
Device drivers and system services
Network interfaces and settings
Performance data and running process details
Hardware inventory, including PCI information
Vital product data and firmware information
SCSI device sense data
ServeRAID configuration
Application, system, security, ServeRAID, and service processor system event logs
Additionally, DSA creates a merged log that allows users to easily identify cause-and-effect relationships from different log sources in the system.
MM Configuration information
IMM Enviromentals information
Option card driver and firmware information
Lightpath
FoD Activation Key

DSA Portable Edition expands to temporary space on the target system, runs, and deletes all intermediate files after execution completes. Its design and packaging allow it to collect system information in sensitive customer environments with only temporary use of system resources.
