Performing hardware resolution
An X in a red circle in the first column of the Hardware Resolution
pane indicates a hardware resolution problem. Table 1 lists
the possible Status messages, their explanations, and actions for
resolution (if required).
Status | Explanation | Resolution (if required) |
---|---|---|
No hardware found | AID values or PCHID values are present that are not found in the hardware. This situation could occur when you are replacing hardware for an MES and the IOCP file contains a PCHID value for the old hardware. (The IOCP file contains a PCHID value for the hardware being removed.) |
If you have any CHPIDs of IOCP type CIB or CS5,
the CHPID Mapping Tool cannot automatically assign these CHPIDs. If
the AID assignment in the IOCP file is not valid, you can reset it
during hardware resolution. You can then use manual mapping to assign
the CHPIDs to AIDs. Perform the following steps
for CIB and CS5 CHPIDs:
|
Used IOCP types or adapter types exceed the number available. If there are more IOCP types than available, the Adapter Type (in the Hardware Resolution pane) might be empty. If there are more used than available adapter types, the tool indicates this deficiency in the Adapter Type Summary pane, in the Used and Available columns. | You need to do one of the following:
|
|
Select at least one adapter type. | A adapter type is not assigned to the current row. | Assign a adapter type to IOCP type. See Performing hardware resolution for a type mismatch. |
Adapter_type is not compatible with IOCP_type. | Adapter type assigned for the CHPID is not compatible with the IOCP type specified by the IOCP file. | See Performing hardware resolution for a type mismatch. |
Required hardware for type IOCP_type not available. Example: |
The CHPID Mapping Tool found no hardware for the specified IOCP type. | You need to change the IOCP file or obtain additional hardware |
PCHID_1 moved to new channel
ID: PCHID_2 Example:
|
You are replacing hardware for an MES, and the IOCP file contains a PCHID value for the old hardware, which is being removed. This PCHID value has moved from an old machine to the PCHID value for the new hardware . PCHID_1 is the first PCHID value (for example, 520) and PCHID_2 is the second PCHID value (for example, 1E2). | This status is an informational message; no hardware resolution is required. The message informs you of the new location so you can change this if you prefer a different assignment. |
