System reference code A6005008

Use these tables if you received system reference code (SRC) A6005008. If an IPL did not find a console and if the console type is set to anything except a 1, the system will display code A6005008.

Keep the following in mind when examining the information in the tables:

If you just replaced the LAN adapter associated with Operations Console (LAN), you need to wait at least 35 minutes for the system to find and use the new LAN adapter. In this case, when the system is satisfied, it starts using the new adapter. The console should start, and the SRC is no longer shown.
If you are attempting to use Operations Console, see the information relating to words 13, 14, and 15 since the local console on a network uses these words.

Table 1. Word 13 to 16 mappings (LAN)
If Word 13 value (yy) is:	Failure	Word 14 means:	Word 15 means:
00	The LAN connection is active and has received TCP/UDP/RAW packets (e.g. ping). However, the PC failed to connect.	IP address
01	No supported HW detected or HW detected is not expected (for example, you replaced the LAN IOA so the serial number is different)		In some cases the serial number of the expected adapter may be shown.
02	LAN IOA failed to report
03	Hardware error	Common error codes: 53001A80, 53002AC0, CC10031A: Network, cable or the LAN adapter may not be operational. 00000000: This error code indicates the adapter reported but has not been initialized yet. This is not considered an error, at this time. The adapter should be activated shortly. For other error codes contact your service provider.	Card position or serial number of adapter
04	BOOTP status: If attempts are zero, then BOOTP is ready, when called. If attempts have a value, then the PC did not respond	Attempts	Card position or serial number of adapter
05	The system's LAN connection is active but the PC failed to connect. Are the PC and system on the same network and using the same protocol? Can the PC ping the system? (`ping serverhostname`)	IP address	Card position or serial number of adapter
06	LAN is active but IPv6 autoconfiguration has failed	IPv4	IPv6 status
07	LAN is active but no IPv4 address has been obtained through BOOTP and IPv6 autoconfiguration has failed	`ssss bbbb`, where: `ssss` = IPv6 status `bbbb` = Bootp attempts	Card position or serial number of adapter
FF	No console resource or port was found
Word 16		Word 16 in the form of `xxxx yy zz` means the following: `xxxx` where: The twinaxial-related SRC is represented by the first 4 characters. `yy` where: 0A = No console tagged `zz` where: 00 = Not defined by user (old default value) 03 = Operations Console (LAN ) 04 = Hardware Management Console (HMC)

For Word 13 values 00 to 05, the information in Table 2 is applicable.

Table 2. Word mappings for Word 13 values 00 to 05 (cable)
If Word 17 value is:	Failure	Word 18 means:	Word 19 means:
1	Async card not detected
2	No cables detected	Card position	Card type
3	Wrong cable detected	Card position	Cable ID
4	Port in use	Card position	Card type
FA	Not configured for direct cable

For Word 13 values 06 and 07, the information in Table 3 is applicable.

Table 3. Word mappings for Word 13 values 06 and 07 (IPv6)
If Word 13 value (yy) is:	Word 17 means:	Word 18 means:	Word 19 means:
06		Upper IPv6 interface ID	Lower IPv6 interface ID
07		Upper IPv6 interface ID	Lower IPv6 interface ID

Notes:

It is expected that a D-mode IPL with a new load source direct access storage device (DASD) will show the console type value of 00. Examples of when this can occur might be that the copy of data from a failing DASD did not copy all data or you are installing a new logical partition. Also, there are times when the DASD is late reporting an the console type value was not retrieved in time. In these cases you can use the console service function to set a console type value or attempt to contact the console again.
For Word 13 values 06 and 07, Word 15 common IPv6 status codes include the following:
- 9043 - Duplicate IPv6 address
- 9046 - Duplicate auto-configured, link-local IPv6 address
