摘要:
A method and system for performing problem determination procedures in a hierarchically organized computer system is provided. The hardware components of the data processing system are interconnected in a manner in which the components are organized in a logical hierarchy. A hardware-related error occurs, and the error is logged into an error log file. At some point in time, a diagnostics process is initiated in response to the detection of the error. The logged error may implicate a particular hardware component, and the hardware component of the data processing system is analyzed using a problem determination procedure. In response to a determination that the hardware component does not have a problem, the logically hierarchical parent hardware component of the hardware component is selected for analysis. The logically hierarchical parent hardware component is then analyzed using a problem determination procedure. The method continues to analyze the logically hierarchical parent components until the root component is reached or until a faulty component is found.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product within a logically partitioned data processing system that includes multiple partitions and a management console are described for displaying messages in a language specified by the console. A language is specified by the management console. The specification is transmitted to each one of the partitions. A message is generated within one of the partitions. The partition then utilizes the specification to select a translation of the message into the language specified by the management console. The translation is then transmitted from the partition to the management console for display by the management console.
