APAR: IJ51639  Fix available in service pack: 7200-05-09-2446

**************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:
* Systems running the AIX 7200-05-08 Technology Level
* or VIOS 3.1.4.4x with any of the following filesets
* at or between the given levels:
* MIN          MAX          FILESET
* 7.2.5.202    7.2.5.202    devices.ethernet.mlx.rte
**************************************************************
* ERROR DESCRIPTION:
* Some 10GbE/40GbE RoCE adapters will not configure on the
* following levels of AIX and VIOS:
*
* AIX 7200-05-08
* AIX 7300-02-02
* VIOS 3.1.4.40/3.1.4.41
* VIOS 4.1.0.20/4.1.0.21
*
* The device driver cannot be loaded and the devices will
* remain unusable in a "defined" state, resulting in loss of
* network connectivity to the LPAR.  For a VIOS LPAR, this
* can affect client LPARs with virtualized connections that
* use this adapter as well.
*
* The following adapters are affected (feature code followed
* by description):
* EC27 PCIe2 2-Port 10GbE RoCE SFP+ Adapter LP
* EC28 PCIe2 2-Port 10GbE RoCE SFP+ Adapter
* EC29 PCIe2 2-Port 10GbE RoCE SR Adapter LP
* EC30 PCIe2 2-Port 10GbE RoCE SR Adapter
* EC37 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP X8 ADAPTER
* EL3X 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP X8 ADAPTER
* EC38 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP CAPABLE X8 ADAPTER
* EC2M 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP X8 ADAPTER W/OPTICS
* EL40 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP X8 ADAPTER W/OPTICS
* EC2N 2-PORT 10GbE EN/RoCE PCIe 3.0 LP CAPABLE X8 ADAPTER
* W/OPTICS
* EC3A 2-PORT 40GbE RoCE SFP+ PCIe 3.0 LP ADAPTER
* EC3B 2-PORT 40GbE RoCE SFP+ PCIe 3.0 LP CAPABLE
* EL27 (RP #EC27) 2-PORT 10GbE RoCE SFP+ LP ADAPTER
*
* Use "How to determine Feature Code"
* (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-find-feature-code-
* aix-linux-ibm-i-adapters-and-going-fix-central-look-fixes)
* to help determine if you have an affected adapter.
*
* Prior to updating to one of the levels above, if the
* affected adapters are used, care must be taken to apply an
* ifix for this issue prior to booting on the updated SP or
* else there may be no network connectivity available to the
* LPAR after booting.
*
* For normal AIX updates and VIOS updateios, the ifix can be
* applied to the LPAR after the SP is applied, before rebooting.
* For nim installs, the ifix can be applied to the update spot
* resource by following the steps HERE
* (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=resources-
* installing-interim-fix-into-spot-resource).
* For alt_disk installs, the ifix can be applied to the
* upgraded alt_disk image by following step 3 HERE
* (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/managing-multiple-
* instances-altinstrootvg-and-applying-fixes-them).
* For viosupgrade, first upgrade to 4.1.0.10 using viosupgrade
* (making sure the fix for HIPER IJ50326
* (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7145269) is in place
* first).  After completing that upgrade, then apply
* 4.1.0.21 SP + ifix at the same time using updateios.
**************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:
* Install APAR IJ51639.
* Prior to fix availability, an interim fix is available from
* either
* ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/ij51639/
* https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/ij51639/
* The ifix can be installed using Live Update (LU).
* If LU is not used, installation of the ifix requires a
* reboot.
