FWRIPL

The FWRIPL procedures can help if a system or a partition will not boot.

If a supported adapter is installed, perform the following steps:

  1. Replace the adapter. For adapter FRU part numbers, see Managing PCI adapters.
  2. Replace the I/O backplane (system backplane on certain systems) in the unit in which the adapter is plugged. Use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU).
    CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
      8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the system backplane See System parts. System backplane Un-P1
      8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, 8205-E6D with failing slot on the PCI riser card feature (if installed) See System parts. PCI riser card Un-P1-C1
      8231-E2B, 8231-E1C, 8231-E1D, 8231-E2C, 8231-E2D, 8233-E8B, 8236-E8C, 8268-E1D See System parts. System backplane Un-P1
      8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, 8412-EAD, 9109-RMD, 9117-MMB, 9117-MMC, 9117-MMD, 9179-MHB, 9179-MHC, 9179-MHD See System parts. I/O backplane Un-P2
      5796, 7314-G30 See System parts. I/O backplane Un-P1

    If you need additional information for failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to find additional location codes, part numbers, or replacement procedures for your system.

If there are no supported LAN adapters installed in a full system partition, install one and reboot the system. If a supported LAN adapter is not assigned to the partition in a server running multiple partitions, deactivate the partition, assign a supported LAN adapter to the partition, then reactivate the partition.

This ends the procedure.
