The system detected a problem while communicating with a specific
I/O processor.
The problem could be caused by Licensed Internal Code, the I/O processor
card, or by bus hardware. Read the danger notices in
Licensed internal code (LIC) isolation procedures before
continuing with this procedure.
- If the system has logical partitions, perform this procedure from
the logical partition that reported the problem. To determine if
the system has logical partitions, go to Determining if the system has logical partitions before
continuing with this procedure.
- Did a previous procedure have you power off the system, perform
an IPL in Manual mode, and is the system in Manual
mode now?
- Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure appear on the control
panel?
- Does the console display indicate a problem with missing disks?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: Go to step 6.
- Perform the following steps:
- Go to the DST main menu.
- On the DST sign-on display, enter the DST full authority user
ID and password. See Dedicated
Service Tools (DST) for details.
- Select .
- Check for the SRC in the service action log. See Using the Service Action Log.
Did you find the same SRC that sent you to this procedure?
- Yes: Note the date and time for that SRC. Go to
the Product Activity Log and search all logs to find the same SRC. When you
have found the SRC, go to step 9.
- No: Perform the following steps:
- Return to the DST main menu.
- Perform an IPL and return to the Display Missing Disk Units display.
- Go to LICIP11. This ends
the procedure.
- Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure appear
on the console or on the alternative console?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: Does the IPL complete successfully to the IPL
or Install the System display?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: A different SRC occurred. Go to the Reference
codes topic and use the new SRC to correct the problem. This
ends the procedure.
- Perform the following:
- Use the full-authority password to sign on to DST.
- Search All logs in the product activity log looking for
references of SRC B600 5209 and the SRC that sent you to this procedure.
Note: Search only for SRCs that occurred during the last IPL.
Did you find B600 5209 or the same SRC that sent you to this procedure?
- Yes: Go to step 10.
- No: Did you find a different SRC than the one that
sent you to this procedure?
- Yes: Continue with the next step.
- No: The problem appears to be intermittent. Ask
your next level of support for assistance. This ends the procedure.
- Use the new SRC to correct the problem. See the Reference
codes topic. This ends the procedure.
- Use F11 to move through alternative
views of the log analysis displays until you find the card position and frame
ID of the failing IOP associated with the SRC.
Was the card
position and frame ID available,
and did this information
help you find the IOP?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Go to step 12.
- Perform the following steps:
- Display the report for the log entry of the SRC that sent you
to this procedure.
- Display the additional information for the entry.
- If the SRC is B6006910, use characters 9-16 of the top 16 character
line of function 13 (word 7) to find the card direct select address in BBBBCcbb
format.
BBBB Bus number
Cc Card direct select address
bb board address
- Use the BBBBCcbb information and refer to Finding part locations to
determine the failing IOP and its location.
- Go to MABIP06 to
isolate an I/O adapter problem on the IOP you just identified. If
this fails to isolate the problem, return here and continue with the next
step.
- Is the I/O processor card you identified in step 9 or
step 11 the CFIOP?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Perform the following steps:
- Exchange the failing CFIOP card. See Removing and replacing parts.
Note: You will be prompted for the system serial number. Ignore any error
messages regarding system configuration that appear during the IPL.
- Go to step 16.
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the system.
- Remove the IOP card.
- Power on the system.
Does the SRC that sent you to this procedure appear on the control
panel or appear as a new entry in the service action log or product activity
log?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Perform the following steps:
- Power off the system.
- Install the IOP card you just removed.
- Replace the multi-adapter bridge using symbolic FRU MA_BRDG. This
ends the procedure.
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the system.
- Exchange the failing IOP card.
- Power on the system.
Does the SRC
that sent you to this procedure appear on the control panel, on the console,
or on the alternative console?
- No: Continue with the next step.
- Yes: Go to step 18.
- Does a different SRC appear on the control panel, on the console,
or on the alternative console?
- Yes: Go to the Reference codes topic and use the new
SRC to correct the problem. This ends the procedure.
- No: On the IPL or Install the System display, check
for the SRC in the service action log. See Using the Service Action Log for
details.
Did you find the same SRC that sent you to this procedure?
- Perform the following steps:
- Power off the system.
- Remove the IOP card you just exchanged and install the original
card.
- Go to (Bus-PIP1). This ends the procedure.
- Ask your next level of support for assistance and report a Licensed
Internal Code problem. You may be asked to verify that all PTFs
have been applied.
If you are asked to perform the following, see the following:
