Partition firmware posts AAxx system reference (attention) codes, which offer information about the next target state for the platform firmware. These codes might also indicate that you need to perform an action, such as opening a firmware console or checking serial connections.
The AAxx table uses the following format:
Table 1. (AAxx) Partition firmware reference (attention) codes
| Reference Code | Description/Action Perform all actions before exchanging Failing Items | Failing Item |
|---|---|---|
| AA00E158 |
|
|
| AA00E159 | Waiting for the serial connection to the
service processor to be established
Check the serial connection to the service processor. Correct all problems that are found. |
|
| AA00E175 | The I/O configuration exceeds the recommended size.
Some operating systems might crash when using this configuration.
Increase the logical memory block size to 256 megabytes (MB) and reboot the managed system. Note:
If the logical memory block size is already 256 MB,
contact your next level of support. |
FWFLASH |
| AA00E1A8 | The system is booting to the open firmware prompt | FWFLASH |
| AA00E1A9 | The system is booting to the System Management
Services (SMS) menus.
Note:
If the system or partition returns to
the SMS menus (as indicated by this progress code) after a boot attempt failed,
use the ASMI menus to inspect the progress code history:
|
FWFLASH |
| AA00E1B0 | Waiting for the user to select the language and
keyboard
Select the language and keyboard. |
PFW1548 |
| AA00E1B1 | Waiting for the user to accept or decline the license
agreement
Accept or decline the license agreement. |
PFW1548 |
| AA00E1F3 | Admin access password prompt
On the firmware console, enter the password for the admin user of the service processor |
FWPWD |
| AA060007 | A keyboard was not found
Ensure that a keyboard is attached to the USB port assigned to the partition. |
|
| AA06000B | The system or partition was not able to find an
operating system on any of the devices in the boot list.
Modify the boot list using the SMS menus so that it includes devices that are know to have a good copy of the operating system and retry the boot. If you are still unable to boot an operating system, go to Problems with loading and starting the operating system. |
|
| AA06000C | The media in a device in the boot list was not bootable.
Replace the media in the device with known-good media, of modify the boot list to boot from another bootable device. If you are still unable to boot an operating system, go to Problems with loading and starting the operating system. |
|
| AA06000D | The media in the device in the bootlist was not
found under the I/O adapter specified by the bootlist.
Verify that the medium (CD-ROM, for example) from which you are trying to boot is bootable, of try another medium. If you are still unable to boot an operating system or diagnostic CD-ROM, go to Problems with loading and starting the operating system. |
|
| AA06000E | The adapter specified in the boot list is not present
or is not functioning.
If AIX is being booted, and can be booted from another device, do so, then run online AIX diagnostics against the failing adapter. If AIX cannot be booted from another device, boot standalone AIX diagnostics from CD-ROM or a NIM server and run diagnostics against the device. If Linux is being booted, boot standalone AIX diagnostics from CD-ROM or a NIM server and run diagnostics against the device. |
|
| AA060010 | The FAT file system on the boot disk is configured
in a way that might cause a boot failure.
Increase the FAT partition size by 10% to keep the number of data clusters fewer than approximately 4080. |
|
| AA060011 | The firmware did not find an operating system image
and it was unable to detect at least one hard disk in the boot list. Firmware
is now retrying the entries in the boot list.
This error might occur before the initialization of an enclosure that contains the boot disk completes or when the boot disk belongs to another partition. If this problem persists, do the following:
|
|
| AA130013 | Bootable media is missing from a USB CD-ROM
Put a bootable CD in the USB CD-ROM and retry the boot operation. |
|
| AA130014 | The media in a USB CD-ROM has been changed.
|
|
| AA170210 | Setenv/$setenv parameter error: the name contains a null character. | FWFLASH |
| AA170211 | Setenv/$setenv parameter error: the value contains a null character. | FWFLASH |
| AA190001 | The server firmware function to get and set the
time-of-day clock reported an error
|
|
| AA260001 | The system is waiting for someone to enter the machine
type, model, and serial number.
At the system prompt, type the machine type, model, and serial number of the system. |
