Failed and non-reporting resources

View location information and display a list of the packaging hardware resources that either failed or did not report at the last IPL.

The Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option appears on the Hardware Service Manager display when the system is in the full or limited paging environment. It allows you to display a list of the logical hardware resources that either failed or did not report to the system at the last IPL.

Note: To view location information and display a list of the packaging hardware resources that either failed or did not report at the last IPL, select the Associated packaging resource(s) option on the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display.

A failed resource that reports to the system at the time of the IPL might have a problem with its operation. On the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display, Failed appears in the Status column to indicate a failed resource. The failed resources appear at the top of the list.

A non-reporting resource does not report to the system at the time of the IPL. On the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display, a question mark symbol (?) appears next to the resource description field to indicate a non-reporting resource. The status of a non-reporting resource is Unknown.
Note: For more information on symbols, see Symbols on the hardware service manager displays.

A failed or non-reporting resource indicates that one of the following has occurred:

  • The resource was removed from the system (non-reporting only).
  • The resource was powered off at the time of the IPL.
  • There is a problem in the signal path between the system and the device.
  • There is a resource failure.

Selecting the Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option is a quick way to display failed and non-reporting resources on the system. For information on other ways to display failed and non-reporting resources, see Display failed resources or Display non-reporting resources.

If no failed resources or non-reporting resources exist, the following informational message appears: 
No failed or non-reporting logical hardware resources were found.
If the system finds only non-reporting resources and no failed resources, the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display appears with the list of non-reporting resources and the following message: 
No failed logical hardware resources
were found.
If the system finds only failed resources and no non-reporting resources, the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display appears with the list of failed resources and the following message: 
No non-reporting logical hardware resources
were found.
The options on the failed or non-reporting displays are the same options that are available for logical resources:
  • Change detail
  • Remove
  • Display detail
  • I/O debug
  • Verify
  • Associated packaging resource
