IBM System x DSA Log Parsing Method

1. First you place the dsa.exe program file in the "C: \ IBM_Support" directory

2. Then you open the command line prompt, and then cd to "C: \ IBM_Support"

3. Execute "dsa.exe -i <log file.xmg.gz> -x -v

4. The log will be extracted to the "C: \ IBM_Support" directory, and then open the "index.html" file.

5. Enter the "IPMI Event" to check the specific hardware error. In addition, in "Firmware / VPD" you can see the model numbers of some parts.
