The system detected a problem while communicating with
a specific I/O processor.
The problem could be caused by Licensed Internal Code, the
I/O processor card, or by bus hardware. Read the danger notices in
Licensed Internal Code isolation procedures before continuing with this procedure.
- If the system has logical partitions, perform this procedure
from the logical partition that reported the problem. To
determine if the system has logical partitions, go to Determining if the system has
logical partitions before continuing with this procedure.
- Did a previous procedure have you power off the system,
perform an IPL in Manual mode, and is the system
in Manual mode now?
- Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure appear on
the control panel?
- Does the console display indicate a problem with missing
disks?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: Go to step 6.
- Perform the following steps:
- Go to the DST main menu.
- On the DST sign-on display, enter the DST full authority
user ID and password. See Dedicated service tools for details.
- Select .
- Check for the SRC in the service action log. See Searching the service action
log.
Did you find the same SRC that sent
you to this procedure?
- Yes: Note the date and time for that SRC.
Go to the Product Activity Log and search all logs to find the same
SRC. When you have found the SRC, go to step 9.
- No: Perform the following steps:
- Return to the DST main menu.
- Perform an IPL and return to the Display Missing Disk Units display.
- Go to LICIP11. This ends
the procedure.
- Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure
appear on the console or on the alternative console?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: Does the IPL complete successfully
to the IPL or Install the System display?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: A different SRC occurred. Use the
new SRC to correct the problem. This ends the procedure.
- Perform the following steps:
- Use the full-authority password to sign on to DST.
- Search All logs in the product activity log looking
for references of SRC B600 5209 and the SRC that sent you to this
procedure.
Note: Search only for SRCs that occurred during
the last IPL.
Did you find B600 5209 or the same SRC that sent you to this
procedure?
- Yes: Go to step 10.
- No: Did you find a different SRC than the
one that sent you to this procedure?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: The problem appears to be intermittent.
Ask your next level of support for assistance. This ends
the procedure.
- Use the new SRC to correct the problem. This
ends the procedure.
- Use F11 to move through
alternative views of the log analysis displays until you find the
card position and frame ID of the failing IOP associated with the
SRC.
Was the card position and frame ID available,
and did
this information help you find the IOP?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Go to step 12.
- Perform the following steps:
- Display the report for the log entry of the SRC that
sent you to this procedure.
- Display the additional information for the entry.
- If the SRC is B6006910, use characters 9-16 of the top
16 character line of function 13 (word 7) to find the card direct
select address in BBBBCcbb format.
BBBB Bus number
Cc Card direct select address
bb board address
- Use the BBBBCcbb information and see System FRU locations to
determine the failing IOP and its location.
- Go to MABIP55 to
isolate an I/O adapter problem on the IOP you just identified. If
this fails to isolate the problem, return here and continue with the
next step.
- Is the I/O processor card you identified in step 9 or step 11 the
CFIOP?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Perform the following steps:
- Exchange the failing CFIOP card. See System FRU locations .
Note: You will be prompted for the system serial number. Ignore any
error messages regarding system configuration that appear during the
IPL.
- Go to step 16.
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the
system.
- Remove the IOP card.
- Power on the
system.
Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure appear on the
control panel or appear as a new entry in the service action log or
product activity log?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Perform the following steps:
- Power off the system.
- Install the IOP card you just removed.
- Replace the I/O backplane (Un-P1). This
ends the procedure.
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the
system.
- Exchange the failing IOP card.
- Power on
the system.
Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure
appear on the control panel, on the console, or on the alternative
console?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Go to step 18.
- Does a different SRC appear on the control panel, on the
console, or on the alternative console?
- Yes: Use the new SRC to correct the problem. This
ends the procedure.
- No: On the IPL or Install the System display,
check for the SRC in the service action log. See Searching the service action log for details.
Did you find the same SRC that
sent you to this procedure?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: Go to Verify a repair . This
ends the procedure.
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the
system.
- Remove the IOP card you just exchanged and install the
original card.
- Go to (Bus-PIP1). This ends the procedure.
- Ask your next level of support for assistance and report
a Licensed Internal Code problem. You may be asked to verify
that all PTFs have been applied.
