Troubleshooting AIX client logical partitions
Find information and procedures for troubleshooting AIX® client logical partitions.
If your client partition is using virtual I/O resources, check the Service Focal Point and Virtual I/O Server first to ensure that the problem is not on the server.
On client partitions running the current level of AIX, when a hardware error is logged on the server and a corresponding error is logged on the client partition, the Virtual I/O Server provides a correlation error message in the error report.
Run the following
command to gather an error report:
errpt -a
Running
the errpt command returns results similar to
the following: LABEL: VSCSI_ERR2

Compare the LABEL, IDENTIFIER, and Error Number values from your error report to the values in the following table to help identify the problem and determine a resolution.
Label | Identifier | Error Number | Problem | Resolution |
---|---|---|---|---|
VSCSI_ERR2 | 857033C6 | 0006 |
The virtual SCSI server adapter on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition is not open. | Make the server adapter on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition available for use. |
001C |
The virtual SCSI server adapter on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition has been closed abruptly. | Determine why the server adapter in the Virtual I/O Server logical partition was closed. | ||
VSCSI_ERR3 | ED995F18 | 000D |
The virtual SCSI server adapter on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition is being used by another client logical partition. | Terminate the client logical partition that is using the server adapter. |
000D |
The virtual SCSI server adapter (partition number and slot number) specified in the client adapter definition does not exist. | On the HMC, correct the client adapter definition to associate it with a valid server adapter. |
