This readme file provides information about IBM Preboot Dynamic System
Analysis (pDSA).
1.1 Product overview
---------------------
IBM Preboot DSA is a system information collection and analysis tool
that is used by IBM xSeries(R) Service and Support personnel to aid in
the diagnosis of system problems.
DSA collects information about the following aspects of a system:
o System configuration
o Network interfaces and settings
o Hardware inventory, including PCI & USB information
o IBM LightPath(TM) status
o Service Processor status and configuration
o Vital product data, firmware, and basic input/output system
o (BIOS) information
o Drive Health Information
o ServeRAID configuration
o LSI RAID & Controller configuration
o Scalability/RXE Ports configuration
o Emulex Fibre Channel configuration
o QLogic Fibre Channel & iSCSI Adapter configuration
o LSI InternalRaid Adapter configuration
o LSI MegaRaid Adpater configuration
o Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and service processors
o Logs of correctable and uncorrectable error NVRAM
o VMware ESXi EH Information
o GoVault Tape Drive information
o Disk Management information
o MAX5 Memory Expansion Unit
DSA can also provide diagnostics for the following system components
(if they are installed on the system):
o Network, BroadCom NetXtreme II(5703,5708,5709,5714 and 5722 NIC)
o Optical devices (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM)
o Tape Drives (SCSI)
o Remote Supervisor Adapter
o Base Board Management Controller
o Memory
o CPU
o Check-point panel test
o Hard Drive test
Additionally, DSA creates a merged log that includes events from all
collected logs.
All collected information can be output as a compressed XML file that
can be sent to IBM Service. You can customize the FTP to transfer. You
can also view the information locally through a generated text report
file. The generated HTML pages may be copied to removable media and
viewed from a web browser.
