FWRIPL
The FWRIPL procedures can help if a system or a partition will not boot.
If a supported adapter is installed, perform the following steps:
- Replace the adapter. For adapter FRU part numbers, see Managing PCI adapters.
- Replace the I/O backplane in the unit in which the adapter is plugged. If the system does not
have an I/O backplane, replace the system backplane.
For more information about failing part numbers, location codes, or removal and replacement procedures, see Part locations and location codes. Select your machine type and model number to see applicable procedures for your system.
If there are no supported LAN adapters installed in a full system partition, install one and reboot the system. If a supported LAN adapter is not assigned to the partition in a server running multiple partitions, deactivate the partition, assign a supported LAN adapter to the partition, then reactivate the partition.
This ends the procedure.
