v Read VPD Image from Last System Boot
Displays manufacturer’s vital product data (VPD), such as serial numbers, part
numbers, and so on, that was stored from the system boot prior to the one in
progress now. VPD from all devices in the system is displayed.
v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays a number of the boot progress indicators, which may include Service
Processor checkpoints, IPL checkpoints, or AIX configuration codes, from the
previous system boot. This information can be useful in diagnosing system faults.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest).
This information is not stored in nonvolatile storage. If the system is powered off
using the power-on button on the operator panel, this information is retained. If the
ac power is disconnected from the system, this information will be lost. For an
example, refer to “LCD Progress Indicator Log” on page 70.

Processor Error Logs” on page 69 for an example of this error log.
