About this task
To run the DSA Preboot diagnostic programs, complete
the following steps:
- If the compute node is turned on, turn off the compute
node (see Turning off the compute node).
- If necessary, connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse
to the console breakout cable and
connect the console breakout cable to
the compute node.
- Turn on the compute node (see Turning on the compute node).
- When the prompt <F2> Diagnostics is displayed,
press F2.
- Select Quit from the actions
available on the IBM Memory Test screen.
Note: After you
exit the IBM Memory Test screen, you must restart the compute node
to access the stand-alone memory diagnostic environment again.
- Enter gui to start the DSA graphical user
interface, or select cmd to display the DSA
interactive menu.
- From the diagnostic programs screen, select the test that you
want to run, and follow the instructions on the screen. For additional
information, see the Dynamic System Analysis Installation and
User's Guide, which is available at the IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) website.
Help for DSA is available. For help about the DSA CLI,
