Data Capture FFDC information error data analysis and fault isolation are necessary to implement the advanced serviceability techniques that enable efficient service of the systems and to help determine the failing items In the rare absence of FFDC and Error Data Analysis diagnostics are required to re create the failure and determine the failing items Diagnostics General diagnostic objectives are to detect and identify problems such that they can be resolved quickly Elements of IBM s diagnostics strategy include e Provide a common error code format equivalent to a system reference code system reference number checkpoint or firmware error code e Provide fault detection and problem isolation procedures Support remote connection ability to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center or IBM Designated Service e Provide interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed online failure information while connected to IBM s back end system Automatic diagnostics Because of the FFDC technology designed into IBM Servers it is not necessary to perform re create diagnostics for failures or require user intervention Solid and intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at the time the failure occurs Runtime and boot time diagnostics fall into this category Stand alone diagnostics As the name implies stand alone or user initiated diagnostics require user intervention The user must perform manual s
