cio.8e4d4c <Device bus-ID>: Setting the device online failed because it is boxed

Explanation

Initialization of a device did not complete because it did not respond in time or it was reserved by another operating system.

User response

Make sure that the device is working correctly, then try again to set it online. For devices that support the reserve/release mechanism (for example DASDs), you can try to override the reservation of the other system by writing 'force' to the 'online' sysfs attribute of the affected device.
