AIX IPL progress codes

This section provides descriptions for the numbers and characters that display on the operator panel and descriptions of the location codes used to identify a particular item.

Note:
The AIX IPL progress codes occur on only when running AIX or booting standalone diagnostics. The codes do not occur on servers that run Linux or on Linux partitions.

Operator panel display numbers

This section contains a list of the various numbers and characters that display in the operator panel display. There are three categories of numbers and characters. The first group tracks the progress of the configuration program. The second group tracks the progress of the diagnostics. The third group provides information about messages that follow an 888 sequence.

AIX configuration program indicators

The numbers in this list display on the operator panel as the system loads the AIX operating system and prepares the hardware by loading software drivers.

Note:
Some systems may produce 4-digit codes. If the leftmost digit of a 4-digit code is 0, use the three rightmost digits.

AIX diagnostics load-progress indicators

Note:
Some systems might produce 4-digit codes. If the leftmost digit of a 4-digit code is 0, use the three rightmost digits.
Progress code Description/Action
c00 AIX Install/Maintenance loaded successfully.
c01 Insert the first diagnostic diskette.
c02 Diskettes inserted out of sequence.
c03 The wrong diskette is in diskette drive.
c04 The loading stopped with an irrecoverable error.
c05 A diskette error occurred.
c06 The rc.boot configuration shell script is unable to determine type of boot.
c07 Insert the next diagnostic diskette.
c08 RAM file system started incorrectly.
c09 The diskette drive is reading or writing a diskette.
c20 An unexpected halt occurred, and the system is configured to enter the kernel debug program instead of entering a system dump.
c21 The ifconfig command was unable to configure the network for the client network host.
c22 The tftp command was unable to read client's ClientHostName. info file during a client network boot.
c24 Unable to read client's ClientHostName.info file during a client network boot.
c25 Client did not mount remote miniroot during network install.
c26 Client did not mount the /usr file system during the network boot.
c29 The system was unable to configure the network device.
c31 Select the console display for the diagnostics. To select No console display, set the key mode switch to Normal, then to Service. The diagnostic programs then load and run the diagnostics automatically. If you continue to get the message, check the cables and make sure you are using the serial port.
c32 A directly attached display (HFT) was selected.

Dump progress indicators (dump status codes)

The following dump progress indicators, or dump status codes, are part of a Type 102 message.

Note:
When a lowercase c is listed, it displays in the lower half of the character position. Some systems produce 4-digit codes, the two leftmost positions can have blanks or zeros. Use the two rightmost digits.
Progress code Description/Action
0c0 The dump completed successfully.
0c1 The dump failed due to an I/O error.
0c2 A dump, requested by the user, is started.
0c3 The dump is inhibited.
0c4 The dump device is not large enough.
0c5 The dump did not start, or the dump crashed.
0c6 Dumping to a secondary dump device.
0c7 Reserved.
0c8 The dump function is disabled.
0c9 A dump is in progress.
0cc Unknown dump failure.

Crash codes

Note:
Some systems may produce 4-digit codes. If the leftmost digit of a 4-digit code is 0, use the three rightmost digits.

The crash codes that follow are part of a Type 102 message. These crash codes are grouped into three categories:

Category 1
Dump analysis is the appropriate first action in Problem Determination. Begin the Problem Determination process with software support.
Category 2
Dump analysis most likely will not aid in Problem Determination. Begin the Problem Determination process with hardware support.
Category 3
Both software and hardware support may be needed in Problem Determination, go to 888 sequence in operator panel display to assist in problem isolation.

Category 1 crash progress code

Progress code Description/Action
300 Data storage interrupt from the processor.
32x Data storage interrupt because of an I/O exception from IOCC.
38x Data storage interrupt because of an I/O exception from SLA.
400 Instruction storage interrupt.
700 Program interrupt.

Category 2 crash progress code

Progress code Description/Action
200 Machine check because of a memory bus error.
201 Machine check because of a memory timeout.
202 Machine check because of a memory card failure.
203 Machine check because of an out of range address.
204 Machine check because of an attempt to write to ROS.
205 Machine check because of an uncorrectable address parity.
206 Machine check because of an uncorrectable ECC error.
207 Machine check because of an unidentified error.
208 Machine check due to an L2 uncorrectable ECC.
500 External interrupt because of a scrub memory bus error.
501 External interrupt because of an unidentified error.
51x External interrupt because of a DMA memory bus error.
52x External interrupt because of an IOCC channel check.
53x External interrupt from an IOCC bus timeout; x represents the IOCC number.
54x External interrupt because of an IOCC keyboard check.
800 Floating point is not available.

Category 3 crash progress code

Progress code Description/Action
000 Unexpected system interrupt.
558 There is not enough memory to continue the IPL.
600 AIX 4.3.3.3 and above: Alignment Interrupt. If pre-AIX 4.3.3.3: AIX has crashed because the Portability Assist Layer (PAL) for this machine type has detected a problem.
605 AIX 4.3.3.3 and above: AIX has crashed because the Portability Assist Layer (PAL) for this machine type has detected a problem.
