IJ58420: PCI DEVICE CONFIG MAY HANG IF SLOT IN EEH ERROR STATE

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The AIX device configuration tool cfgmgr may hang while
    configuring a PCI adapter device. A call stack analysis may
    show it to be looping in EEH initialization code.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The AIX device configuration tool cfgmgr may hang while
    configuring a PCI adapter device. A call stack analysis may
    show it to be looping in EEH initialization code.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The EEH initialization code is fixed so that if the slot is
    already in bad state state, then the retry is not infinite but
    limited to PCI EEH timeout value.
    

Temporary fix
