The C2xx progress codes indicate the progress of a partition IPL that is controlled by the virtual service processor. The virtual service processor can start a variety of operating systems, and some codes below do not apply to the IPL path of a particular operating system. The virtual service processor progress codes end after the environment setup completes and the specific operating system code continues the IPL.
