C01

Laser Safety Information


CAUTION:
This product may contain a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or laser module on a PCI card, which are class 1
laser products.
C30

Laser Compliance
All lasers are certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for class
1 laser products. Outside the U.S., they are certified to be in compliance with the IEC 825 (first edition
1984) as a class 1 laser product. Consult the label on each part for laser certification numbers and
approval information.
CAUTION:
All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation
above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions.
Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser
modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels. For this reason, never look into the end
of an optical fiber cable or open receptacle. Only trained service personnel should perform the
inspection or repair of optical fiber cable assemblies and receptacles.
C25, C26

Data Integrity and Verification


IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption
or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures,
power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and
data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, users must
establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification before relying on such data in
sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically check the IBM support websites for updated
information and fixes applicable to the system and related software.

This book is used by the service representative to help repair hardware management console (HMC)
hardware failures. This book assumes that the service representative is trained to service the HMC system
hardware and the managed systems that are supported by the HMC.
This book provides maintenance information to help diagnose and repair problems that may occur on the
HMC. The HMC consists of a personal computer that runs software that is used to manage the
configurations of one or more other systems. Managed system is the term used in the book to refer to
systems that are managed by the HMC.
The HMC is connected to one or more managed system through a serial port. The managed systems are
capable of running logically partitioned configurations (LPAR) or symmetric multi-processor configurations.
The HMC provides the tools and interfaces to enable system administrators and service representatives to
perform installation, configuration, problem determination, and service tasks on the managed system.
Because the HMC can be connected to multiple managed systems, only one console is needed to perform
these tasks on numerous managed systems.
This book refers to other service documentation that is available for the HMC. The system-hardware part
of the HMC is based on the following personal computers:

Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide

Chapter 1. Reference Information


This chapter provides reference information for the HMC.

Hardware Management Console Overview


The hardware management console (HMC) system is delivered with its software preinstalled on the disk
drive. After the system is installed and connected to a managed system, system management tasks can
begin.
Note: The 7315 Model CR3 requires a minimum HMC microcode level of Version 4 Release 4.0 to be
installed in the HMC.
The HMC uses its serial connection to one or more managed systems to perform various functions. The
HMCs main functions include the following:
v Providing a console for system administrators and service representatives to manage system hardware
v Creating and maintaining a multiple partitioned environment on a managed system
v Detecting, reporting, and storing changes in hardware conditions.
v Acting as a service focal point for service representatives to determine an appropriate service strategy
(Ethernet connection required)
v Displaying a virtual operating system session terminal for each partition
The HMC software does not have provisions for loading or running additional applications that are not
related to hardware management. All the tasks you need to maintain the managed system, the underlying
operating system, and the HMCs application code are available by using the HMCs management
applications.

Managed System Operation


The HMCs graphical user interface provides the functions needed to create and maintain a partitioned
environment on a managed system. Using the interface allows for direct manipulation of HMC-defined
objects and increased information regarding detected changes in hardware conditions.
The managed system can be run as a partitioned system, sometimes referred to as logically partitioned
(LPAR). This means that the managed system can run multiple operating systems simultaneously. The
system can also run as a large single partition, also referred to as a Full System Partition.
Partitioning provides users with the ability to divide a single managed system into several systems. Each
of these systems, running in a partition, is capable of running applications in multiple, independent
environments simultaneously. Logical partitioning makes it possible for a user to run a single application
using different sets of data on separate partitions, as if that application were running independently on
separate physical systems. By creating partitions, for example, a company can test its program in one
partition while developing the same program in another, at the same time, all using the same system. This
same system partitioning method is more cost-effective, potentially eliminating the need for a separate
test system.
The Full System Partition is no different from the traditional way of using a system. The single system
uses all of its resources as one system.

HMC to Managed System Cabling


To connect your HMC to a managed system, connect the serial cable into serial port 1 located on the back
of the HMC. Connect the other end of the serial cable into the HMC 1 connector located on the primary
I/O book of the managed system.
The managed system has two HMC ports that support connection of one HMC each. Two HMCs can be
connected to the same managed system for redundancy and convenience.

Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide

The following illustration shows the location of the serial ports on the back of the HMC and the HMC
connectors located on the system I/O book. As shown in this example, two HMCs are connected.

Chapter 1. Reference Information

Powering On and Off


During the process of powering on, the HMC checks to see which managed systems are available and
communicating with the console. To ensure that each managed system is available before you power on
the HMC, managed systems must be in standby mode or actively operating. Standby mode is indicated
by the OK shown in the operator panel after the managed system has the power connected and the initial
tests are complete.
Note: If the managed system is in an emergency power off (EPOW) condition, the managed system must
be brought to standby mode before the HMC can be used to power on the system.
To power on the HMC, do the following:
1. Press the Power button once to turn on the power.
2. When the system has finished the power-on self-test (POST), log in to the HMC by using your service
representative name and password.
To power off the HMC, do the following:
1. Log in to the HMC and select Power Off.
2. The HMC shuts down any applications that are running, and then turns off the HMC.
Note: If the HMC fails to respond and will not shut down and turn off the power, call for HMC software
support.

Power-On Self-Test
After power is turned on and before the operating system is loaded, the system does a power-on self-test
(POST). This test performs checks to ensure that the hardware is functioning correctly before the
operating system is loaded. During the POST, codes indicating the progress of the POST might appear on
the display. After the POST is complete, the HMC operating software loads and a login prompt appears.

Specifications and System Unit Locations

Chapter 2. Diagnostics Overview


The first step to service a managed system and the attached HMC (HMC) is to begin in the Diagnostic
Information for Multiple Bus Systems maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs). The Diagnostic
Information for Multiple Bus Systems, order number SA38-0509 directs the service representative to the
appropriate documentation depending on the type of problem that is to be isolated and repaired.
If a problem is determined to be in the HMC, see Entry MAP on page 14 for information about
diagnosing and repairing the HMC.

MAPs
The MAPs for the HMC are the starting point for diagnosing and repairing the HMC. The MAPs guide the
service representative to a specific repair action. There are occasions where the MAPs direct the service
representative directly to the service documentation for the personal computer. When this occurs, the
service documentation for the personal computer is used to complete the repair action.

Chapter 3. HMC Software Support


The software support organization uses the Problem Determination application to look at the HMCs
internal code and determine how to fix a software problem.
Only a service representative or support representative can access this feature. When the hscpe user
selects the Microcode Maintenance feature, the system prompts the service representative for a password.
The service representative must contact software support to obtain this password.

Viewing the HMC Console Logs


The console logs display error and information messages that the console has logged while running
commands. The service representative can use this information to learn more about what caused an error
and how to resolve it. The HMC classifies log entries as either an informational message or an error
message. Log entries are identified with an I or E, respectively. The HMC lists these log entries
chronologically, with the most recent shown at the top of the list.
Use the HMC Console Log to view a record of HMC system events. System events are activities that
indicate when processes begin and end. These events also indicate whether the attempted action was
successful.

HSCI0122

The system partition(s) did not respond to


query attempts.

1. Check that the HMC host name and the


host name of the partition are fully
qualified domain name (not a short host
name). If they are not, this must be
corrected for remote security to work.
2. Verify the network routing is set up so the
HMC can use ping to reach the partition
and vice versa. If one or both cannot be
reached from the other, correct the
routing.
3. Check to make sure /var is not full on the
partition, which would prevent certain
processes from running correctly.
4. Verify that the following filesets have been
installed properly on the AIX partitions:
v rsct.core
v csm.client
v devices.chrp.base.ServiceRM
5. Log in to one of the partitions and issue
the following command: lssrc -s ctcas .
If the output shows ctcasd is inoperative,
run an ls -l command on the /var/ct/cfg/
directory. If the files ct_has.pkf and
ct_has.qkf are zero-length, there was an
(AIX) installation configuration problem.
These zero-length files should be
removed and then issue the command
startsrc -s ctcas. If the startsrc -s
ctcas command does not work, the AIX
lpp may not have been installed.
6. If the output is still blank, reboot the HMC.
After the reboot occurs, wait at least 10
minutes before trying again, to make sure
all the partitions have resynchronized their
information with the HMC.
7. If the problem persists, contact your
software service support representative.

Restoring Partition Resources


The following section has procedures to help you restore partition resources that are stopped but are still
assigned to a partition as a result of a failed dynamic logical partitioning operation. These resources are
lost, or are unusable by any other partition until they have been unassigned.
Restoring Processor Resources: When you are dynamically adding processor resources to a partition,
the HMC determines if there are any stopped processors in a running partition. If the HMC finds stopped,
unused processors, a Processor Information button appears on the panel. When you click this button,
the Processor Recovery window opens. This window displays each stopped processors states, statuses,
and the partitions to which they are currently assigned.
If no partition is performing a dynamic logical partitioning processor operations, you can unassign stopped
processors from their partitions and free them for system use.
Note: If another user is in the middle of performing a dynamic logical partitioning processor operation on
any partition, and you unassign stopped processors from that partition, you will cause the users
dynamic logical partitioning operation to fail.
To unassign stopped processors, do the following:
1. Log in to the HMC using either the System Administrator or Advanced Operator roles.
2. In the Navigation area, click the consoles icon to expand the tree.
3. In the Navigation area, click the Server and Partition folder.
4. In the Contents area, click the Server Management icon.
5. In the Contents area, click the managed systems icon to expand the tree.
6. Select the partition to which you want to add the processors.
7. From the Selected menu, select Dynamic Logical Partitioning.
8. Select Processors.
9. The Dynamic Logical Partitioning window opens. Click Add resources to this partition.
10. If the Processor Information button appears underneath the Number of CPUs to add field, the
HMC has discovered stopped processors on running partitions that you might be able to unassign, or
free for system use. If the Processor Information button appears, click it. If it does not, you do not
have processor resources to restore.

Chapter 5. Error Code to FRU Index

87

11. The Restore Processors window opens. This window displays each lost processor, along with the
processors state, status, and partition assignment. Select the processor you want to free and click
Unassign. The processors you selected are then unassigned and freed for other partitions to use.
Restoring Adapter Resources: When you are dynamically adding adapter resources to a partition, the
HMC determines if there are any stopped adapters in any running partition. If the HMC finds stopped,
unused adapters, an Adapter Information button appears on the panel. When you click this button, the
Restore Adapters window opens. This window displays each stopped adapters state, status, and the
partition to which it is assigned. If another user is not performing a dynamic logical partition operation, you
can unassign stopped adapters from their partitions and free them for system use.
Note: If another user is in the middle of performing a dynamic logical partitioning adapter operation on
any partition, and you unassign stopped adapters from that partition, you will cause the users
dynamic logical partitioning operation to fail.
To unassign stopped adapters from a running partition, do the following:
1. Log in to the HMC using either the System Administrator or Advanced Operator roles.

9. The Dynamic Logical Partitioning window opens. Click Add resources to this partition.
10. If the Adapter Information button appears underneath the Adapters to add field, the HMC has
discovered stopped processors on running partitions that you might be able to unassign, or free for
system use. If the Adapter Information button appears, click it. If it does not, you do not have
adapter resources to restore.
11. The Adapter Recovery window opens. This window displays each lost adapter, along with the
adapters drawer, slot, type, state, and partition assignment. If you are sure that another user is not
currently performing a dynamic logical partitioning operation, select the adapter you want to free and
click Unassign. The adapters you selected are then unassigned and freed for system use.
Restoring Memory Resources: When you are dynamically adding, removing, or moving memory
resources to a partition, the HMC determines if there is an inconsistency between the amount of memory
being used by the partition and the amount of memory requested by the partition for pending memory
changes.
If these amounts are not equal, a Memory Information button appears on the window. When you click
this button, the Restore Memory window opens. This window displays each running partitions amount of
memory in use, requested memory amount, the maximum and minimum profile memory values, and the
total available system memory. If another user is not performing any dynamic logical partitioning memory
operations, you can correct a partitions requested memory value amount so that it is equal to the memory
amount currently in use. If the requested memory value is greater than the amount of memory actually in
use, a correction of the requested memory amount will result in some memory being freed for other
partitions to use. If another user is in the middle of performing a dynamic logical partitioning memory
operation on a partition, and you correct the requested memory amount for that partition, you will cause
the other users dynamic logical partitioning operation to fail.
To correct requested memory amounts, do the following:
1. Log in to the HMC using either the System Administrator or Advanced Operator roles.
2. In the Navigation area, click the consoles icon to expand the tree.

inconsistency, the amount of memory in use by this partition, the requested memory amount, this
partitions minimum and maximum memory amounts, and the amount of free (system available)
memory. Select the partition or partitions you want to correct, and click Correct Requested Value.
The memory amount is then corrected and the Dynamic Memory Configuration window is updated
with the new values.

Error Recovery Actions

Performing a File System Check on HMC Reboot: In the event of an unexpected power loss or if the
white reset button on the HMC is pressed, the system runs a file system check (fsck) on the next system
reboot. If the automatic file system check fails, the HMC prompts the user to enter the HMCs root
password so that it can perform a file system maintenance manually. If the following message displays:
Enter the root password or hit Control-D to reboot., do the following to recover the HMC:
1. Type the following root password: passw0rd
2. To run a file-system check, type fsck file system where file system is the name of the file system that
fails the file system check, such as / and /var in the field. When the checking is completed, a prompt
window opens.

Changing a Partition Host Name Manually


If you need to change the host name of the partition manually, before changing the host name of the
partition, do the following:
1. Run the following command (Skip this step if the AIX level is earlier than AIX 5.1 with 5100-02
Recommended Maintenance Package.):
/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/runact -c IBM.ManagementServer SetRTASPollingInterval Seconds=0

2. Run the following command:


/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer Hostname

The output displayed will be similar to the following: (If the partition is managed by multiple HMCs,
there may be multiple entries, because each HMC has its own entry.)
resource 1: Hostname = "hmc1.mydomain.mycompany.com"

3. For each entry, remove the resource using the host name shown. For example, type the following:
/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmrsrc -sHostname = "hmc1.mydomain.mycompany.com" IBM.ManagementServer

. You can verify that all entries have been removed by performing Step 2 again.
4. Run the following command:

Releasing an HMC Lock on the Managed System


If you have two HMCs connected to your managed system, one HMC temporarily locks the other out while
it is performing operations. This action prevents the other HMC from operating on the managed system
because simultaneous operations could cause conflicting results. If the interface is locked, most console
operations automatically wait for the lock to release.
However, in the rare event that an HMC has a problem that prevents the lock from being properly
released, you may need to manually unlock the connection to the managed system. Typically, if one HMC
has locked the connection, you must unlock it from the other HMC, which then allows other HMCs to
communicate with the managed system and run further commands.
To release a lock on a managed system, you must be a member of one of the following roles:
v System Administrator
v Advanced Operator
To

Installing or Removing the 128-Port ASYNC Adapter


The 128-Port ASYNC adapter is an option for the HMC. It must be configured by the service
representative when the HMC is installed. The 128-Port ASYNC adapter software is installed in the HMC
base software installation package.

128-Port ASYNC Adapter Connector


The HMC 128-Port ASYNC adapter installation differs from the installation in AIX. The 128-Port ASYNC
adapter has two 15-pin D-shell connectors on it. The connector that is closest to the edge connector that
plugs into the HMC PC is line 1. The remote access nodes (RANs) are cabled in a daisy chain and are
terminated using a line terminator. The following figure shows the adapter.

3-C

The following figure shows an example of a typical RAN configuration. RANs are connected to both line 1
and line 2 of the adapter in this example.

v Up to eight RANS can be attached to one adapter. If four are attached to line one, only four more can
be attached to line 2.
v RANs must be numbered in ascending order. The RAN closest to the adapter is assigned as node 1.
No gaps in the numbering should occur. Example, numbering RANs as 1, 3, 4 in a line will cause
configuration problems.

Chapter 6. Removal and Replacement Procedures

Setting a RAN Node Number


The AIX Asynchronous Communications Guide provides information about configuring and running
diagnostics on the 128-Port ASYNC Adapter and associated RANs. To access the AIX Asynchronous
Communications Guide, see the IBM eServer pSeries Information Center at
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Click AIX documentation. The 128-Port
ASYNC adapter identifies RANs by their node numbers. Each RAN in a daisy chain must have a unique
node number (1n-4n), which must be set during installation. The node numbers must be assigned in
ascending order with the lowest number assigned to the RAN closest to the 128-Port ASYNC adapter. The
following figure shows the front panel of a RAN.

To set the RAN node number, do the following:


1. Turn the RAN on and wait for the power-on self-test (POST) to complete.
2. When P1 is displayed on the front panel seven-segment LED display, press the Left Arrow button once.
The current node number is displayed, for example, 1n for node 1.
3. Press the Right Arrow button to advance the node number through the eight possible settings (1n-8n).
4. When the desired node number is displayed, press the Left Arrow button again to select the number.
The display should now read Pn (indicating a pass condition). If there was an error, the display reads
En.
In the case of duplicate node numbers, the RAN farthest from the host adapter displays En, instead of
AC, when the system is started.

Removing an Adapter

Hardware Management Console for pSeries Maintenance Guide

Appendix A. Service Focal Point


This chapter provides information about using the Service Focal Point application.
Service representatives use the HMC as the starting point for all service issues. The HMC groups various
system management issues at one control point, allowing service representatives to use the Service Focal
Point application to determine an appropriate service strategy.
Traditional service strategies become more complicated in a partitioned environment. Each partition runs
on its own, unaware that other partitions exist on the same system. If one partition reports an error for a
shared resource, such as a managed system power supply, other active partitions report the same error.
The Service Focal Point application enables service representatives to avoid long lists of repetitive
call-home information by recognizing that these errors repeat, and the filtering them into one error code.
Errors that require service are reported to the HMC as serviceable events. Because the HMC stores these
serviceable events for 90 days and then discards them, it is important to have the partition and HMC date
and time set correctly. For instance, if the date on a partitions software is set 90 days behind the HMCs
set time, the serviceable events reported from this partition are immediately discarded. For more
information about setting the HMCs date and time, see the IBM Hardware Management Console for
pSeries Installation and Operations Guide, order number SA38-0590. To set the partitions date and time,
see the documentation provided with the operating system that is running on that partition.

Getting Started
When you are setting up Service Focal Point, keep the following in mind:
v If the time configured on a partition is 90 days older than time configured on the HMC, serviceable
events cannot be reported.
v Verify that the HMC host names are defined. For more information on using fully qualified and short
host names, see the IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries Installation and Operations
Guide, order number SA38-0590.
v If you need to add or change a partition name, see IBM Hardware Management Console for pSeries
Installation and Operations Guide.

Testing Error Reporting


To ensure that Service Focal Point is configured properly, generate a test error by doing the following:
1. In the partition, run diagnostics to test the managed systems operator panel.
2. When the diagnostics window asks you if you see 0000 on the managed systems operator panel,
select NO. This action generates an error.
3. In the SRN window, type Enter to proceed.
4. When the system asks you if you want the error sent to Service Focal Point, select YES.
5. Type F3 to exit diagnostics.
6. Wait for one minute while the managed system sends the error to Service Focal Point.
7. Check the Serviceable Event window to ensure that the error was sent to Service Focal Point and that
Service Focal Point reported the error. For more information about working with serviceable events,
see Working With Serviceable Events on page 135.
