+ | `sos report` and `IBM Power Systems service and productivity tools` are critical for system diagnostic and troubleshooting in Linux environments. | ||
+ | For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, 8 and 9 users on IBM Power Servers, understanding how to install and update the `sos report` is essential. | ||
+ | This document provides a comprehensive guide to effectively manage `sos report`. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Note:// Collecting Vital Product Data (VPD) on IBM Power Servers running RHEL depends on the version of the`sos report`and the versions of `IBM Power Systems service and productivity tools` (e.g., lsvpd, libvpd). The `lsvpd` package includes the lsvpd, lscfg, and lsmcode commands. Together with a scanning program named `vpdupdate`, these commands compile a comprehensive hardware inventory of the system. This includes a list of all internal parts, part numbers, locations, serial numbers, feature codes (FC), Custom Card Identification Numbers (CCIN), I/O microcodes, system firmware, etc. Such detailed information is essential for remote engineers to create an action plan and dispatch field engineers for part replacement or system diagnostics. | ||
