(A2xx, B2xx) Logical partition reference codes

When the server posts these SRCs, you can find them in the Serviceable Event View or the view that you use to see informational logs (such as the Product Activity Log or ASM).

  1. Characters 3 and 4 of word 1 are the partition ID of the logical partition with the problem.
  2. If the SRC begins with A2xx, no service action is required. If the SRC begins with B2xx, find the next 4 characters of the SRC (called the unit reference code) in the following table.

1150 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

This is a partitioning configuration problem. The LPARCFG Symbolic FRU will help correct the problem.

If the problem persists, call your next level of support.

1225 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

The partition attempted to IPL prior to the platform fully initializing. Retry the partition IPL after the platform IPL has fully completed and the platform is not in standby mode. If that IPL fails, call your next level of support.

1230 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

This is a partitioning configuration problem. The partition is lacking the necessary resources to IPL.

This error might occur when you shut down a partition that is set to automatically IPL and then turn the managed system off and back on. When the partition automatically IPLs, it uses the resources specified in PHYP NVRAM, and this error occurs when the server does not find the exact resources specified in NVRAM. The solution is to activate the partition by using the partition profile on the HMC. The HMC applies the values in the profile to NVRAM. When the partition IPLs, it uses the resources specified in the profile.

1260 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition could not IPL at the Timed Power On setting because the IPL setting of the partition was not set to Normal. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

1265 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition could not IPL. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

An operating system MSD IPL was attempted with the IPL side on D-mode. This is not a valid operating system IPL scenario, and the IPL will be halted. This SRC is usually seen when a D-mode SLIC install fails and attempts an MSD.

1266 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition could not IPL. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format).

1310 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format). No alternate (D-mode) IPL IOP was selected. The IPL will attempt to continue, but there may not be enough information to find the correct D-mode load source.

Have the customer configure an alternate IPL IOP for the partition. Then retry the partition IPL.

1320 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format). No default load source IOP was selected for an A/B-mode IPL.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format). The IOA for the load source device needed an IOP, and none was detected. Check your LPAR configuration and make sure the correct slot is specified for the IPL load source. Then retry the partition IPL.

1322 A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition.

The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC (in hexadecimal format). If characters 3 and 4 are both zero, then the partition ID is in extended word one as LP=xxx (in decimal format). During the partition IPL, code tried to determine if the device in a slot was an I/O Processor or an I/O Adapter. That check failed. Check your LPAR configuration and make sure that the correct slot is specified for the IPL load source. Then retry the partition IPL. If this does not resolve the problem, perform LICIP15.
