Identifying the location of the NVMe Flash adapter

Use this procedure to identify the location of a Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Flash adapter.

Procedure

  1. Does the operating system log contain the slot number? For example, the log might contain an error message similar to the following text: 
    [131779.752714] EEH: PHB#0 failure detected, location: Slot1
    If Then
    Yes: Replace the adapter. Go to 8335-GTC, 8335-GTG, 8335-GTH, 8335-GTW, or 8335-GTX locations and use the slot number information to identify the physical location and the removal and replacement procedure. This ends the procedure.
    No: Continue with the next step.
  2. Locate the NVMe Flash adapter by using the PCI address:
    1. The operating system log contains information about the NVMe Flash adapter in the form of a PCI address. Record the PCI address information for the NVMe Flash adapter that failed. For example, in the operating system log message nvme 0006:01:00.0: Failed status: ffffffff, reset controller, the PCI address of the failing NVMe Flash adapter is 0006:01:00.0.
    2. At the command line, type lscfg -vl pciaddress, where pciaddress is the NVMe Flash adapter information that you recorded in step 2.a. Then, press Enter.
    3. Record the slot number information that is in the location code field.
    4. Replace the adapter. Go to 8335-GTC, 8335-GTG, 8335-GTH, 8335-GTW, or 8335-GTX locations and use the slot number information to identify the physical location and the removal and replacement procedure. This ends the procedure.
