Entry MAP
Use the following table to determine your starting point. Notes: 1. If more than eight digits are displayed in the operator panel, use only the first eight digits to find the error in the tables. The digits that display beyond the first eight digits are location codes that can assist you in diagnosing the problem. See Firmware Location Codes on page 4-25. 2. Licensed programs frequently rely on network configuration, and system information stored on the VPD on the operator panel control assembly. If the MAPs indicate that the Operator Panel Control Assembly should be replaced, swap the VPD from the old operator panel control assembly to the new one. If the old VPD module has to be replaced call technical support for recovery instructions. If recovery is not possible, notify the system owner that new keys for licensed programs may be required.

3. If a network adapter or the system board is replaced, the network administrator must be notified so that the client IP addresses used by the server can be changed. In addition, the operating system configuration of the network controller may need to be changed in order to enable system startup.

Chapter 3. SSA Problem Determination Procedures


Problem determination procedures are provided by power-on self-tests (POSTs), service request numbers (SRNs), and maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs). Some of these procedures use the using system service aids that are described in the system unit User's Guide.

Disk Drive Module Power-On Self-Tests (POSTs)


Attention: Disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Follow all ESD-sensitive parts procedures when handling disk drive modules. For ESD information, see Handling StaticSensitive Devices on page 7-2. The disk drive module POSTs start each time the module is switched on or when a Send Diagnostic command is received from the SSA adapter. They check whether the disk drive module is working correctly. The POSTs also help verify a repair after a FRU has been exchanged. There are two power-on self-tests: POST-1 and POST-2. POST-1 runs immediately after the power-on reset line goes inactive, and before the disk drive module motor starts. POST-1 includes tests of the: Microprocessor ROM Safety circuits If POST-1 completes successfully, POST-2 is enabled. If POST-1 fails, the disk drive module check light stays on, and the disk drive module is not configured into the SSA network. POST-2 runs after the disk drive module motor has started. POST-2 includes tests of: Motor control Servo control Read and write on the diagnostic cylinder (repeated for all heads) Error checking and correction (ECC) If POST-2 completes successfully, the disk drive module is ready for use by the using system.

Chapter 3. SSA Problem Determination Procedures

Adapter Power-On Self-Tests (POSTs)


Two power-on self-tests (POSTs) are resident in the SSA adapter. The tests are POST-1 and POST-2. POST-1 tests all the functions that are necessary to enable the adapter to communicate with the Micro Channel. POST-1 can fail for either of two reasons: A hardware error has been detected. In such instances, the POST code enters a tight loop, and does not put the identification of the SSA adapter into the programmable option select (POS) registers. If this error occurs, the SSA adapter must be exchanged for a new one. The flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) has a check sum that is not valid. This error can be caused if the power fails while microcode is being downloaded. In such instances, the POST checks all the hardware that is needed to download the microcode. If all the hardware is correct, the POST sets the ROS level to zero, puts the identification of the SSA adapter into POS 0-1, and puts error data into the adapter status register. To recover from this type of error, microcode must be downloaded to the SSA adapter. If the using system can have an initial program load (IPL) without the adapter, the configuration code detects the down-level ROS code and downloads the latest level of code. The configuration code then uses control register bit 7 to reset the adapter and restart POST-1. If no error is detected during POST-1, the identification of the SSA adapter is put into the POS registers, and POST-2 is started. POST-2 tests the remaining hardware on the SSA adapter card and tests the other FRUs that are attached to the adapter. If this test fails, an error code is saved and sent to the using-system error log when the error logger becomes available. An internal health check continues to send the error code at regular intervals.

Service Guide

Service Request Numbers (SRNs)


Service request numbers (SRNs) are generated for the SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive by the system error-log analysis, system configuration code, diagnostics, and customer problem-determination procedures. SRNs help you to identify the cause of a problem, the failing field-replaceable units (FRUs), and the service actions that might be needed to solve the problem.

The SRN Table


Table 3-1 on page 3-5 lists the SRNs and describes the actions you should perform. The table columns are: SRN FRU list % The service reference number The FRU or FRUs that might be causing the problem (see also FRU Names Used in the SRN Table on page 3-4) How likely it is (by percentage) that the FRU is causing the problem

Problem A description of the problem and the action you must take Abbreviations used in the table are: DMA FRU IOCC POS POST PAA Direct memory access Field-replaceable unit Input/output channel controller Programmable option select (POS registers) Power-on self-test P = adapter port number AA = SSA address

Using the SRN Table


1. Locate the SRN in the table. If you cannot find the SRN, you have a problem with the diagnostics, the microcode, or the documentation. Call your support center for assistance. 2. Read carefully the Action you must perform for the problem. Do not exchange FRUs unless you are instructed to do so. 3. Normally exchange only one FRU at a time, starting from the top of the FRU list for that SRN. Always use instructions given in the page reference when exchanging FRUs. After each FRU is exchanged, go to "MAP 410: Repair Checkout" in RS/6000 Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems to verify the repair.
Chapter 3. SSA Problem Determination Procedures

Software and Microcode Errors


Some SRNs indicate that a problem might have been caused by a software error or by a microcode error. If you have one of these SRNs, perform the following actions: 1. Make a note of the contents of the error log for the device that has the problem. 2. Go to the using-system service aids and select Display Vital Product Data to display the VPD of the failing system. Make a note of the VPD for all the SSA adapters and disk drive modules. 3. Report the problem to your support center. The center can tell you whether you have a known problem and can, if necessary, provide you with a correction for the software or microcode.

FRU Names Used in the SRN Table


This section provides a glossary of the FRU names used. FRU Name in Table Backplane assembly Definition The disk drive modules, blank disk drive modules, and internal SSA cables, are connected to the backplane assembly.

SSA Loop Configurations That Are Not Valid


Note: This section is related to SRN 48000. SRN 48000 shows that the SSA loop contains more devices or adapters than are allowed. The following condition exist: the loop contains more than 48 devices. If the SRN occurred when either you or the customer switched on the using system: 1. Switch off the using system. 2. Review the configuration that you are trying to make, and determine why that configuration is not valid. 3. Correct your configuration by reconfiguring the SSA cables or by removing the excess devices or adapters from the loop. 4. Switch on the using system. If the SRN occurred because additional devices or adapters were added to a working SSA loop: 1. Remove the additional devices or adapters that are causing the problem, and put the loop back into its original, working configuration. Note: It is important that you perform these actions, because they enable the configuration code to reset itself from the effects of the error. 2.

SSA Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs)


These maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs) describe how to analyze a continuous failure that has occurred in a system that contains two or more disk drive modules. Failing field-replaceable units (FRUs) of the system unit can be isolated with these MAPs.

How to Use These MAPs


Attention: Switching off the power to an SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive can cause a system fault unless you first make the SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive modules unavailable to the system unit. To do this: 1. Use the system-management task menus to make the disk drive modules unavailable. 2. If the system unit has more than one SSA adapter, make the SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive modules unavailable to the system for each of the paths to the SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive. Attention: Unless the system unit needs to be switched off for some other reason, do not switch off the power to the system unit when servicing an SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive or the external SSA cable. To isolate the FRUs associated with in the failing SSA Hot-Swap Disk Drive, perform the actions and answer the questions given in this MAP. When instructed to exchange two or more FRUs in sequence: 1. Exchange the first FRU in the list for a new one. 2. Verify that the problem is solved. For some problems, verification means running the diagnostic programs (see the using-system service procedures). 3. If the problem remains: a. Reinstall the original FRU. b. Exchange the next FRU in the list for a new one. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until either the problem is solved, or all the related FRUs have been exchanged. 5. Perform the next action indicated by the MAP.

Chapter 4. Error Code to FRU Index


The Error Code to FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this index to help you decide which FRUs to replace when servicing the system. If the codes in the following tables indicate a device which is present more than once in the system unit, a location code is needed to specify which device generated the error. Go to Step 1020-4 on page 2-8 to display the System Management Services error log and obtain a location code. Location code descriptions can be found under Firmware Location Codes on page 4-25. If more than eight digits are displayed in the operator panel, use only the first eight digits to find the error in the tables. The digits that display beyond the first eight digits are location codes that can assist you in diagnosing the problem. See Firmware Location Codes on page 4-25. Notes: 1. Licensed programs frequently rely on network configuration or system board information to authorize program use. If the following tables indicate that the system board or network adapter should be replaced, notify the system owner that new keys for licensed programs may be required. 2. If a network adapter or the system board is replaced, the network administrator must be notified so that the client IP addresses used by the server can be changed. In addition, the operating system configuration of the network controller may need to be changed in order to enable system startup. If you replace FRUs and the problem is still not corrected, go to MAP 0030 in the RS/6000 Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems unless otherwise indicated in the tables.

Fxx Code Boot Problems: Depending on the boot device, a checkpoint may be
displayed on the operator panel for an extended period of time while the boot image is retrieved from the device. This is particularly true for Tape and Network boot attempts. If the checkpoint/code is displayed for an extended time there may be a problem loading the boot image from the device. If booting from CDROM or Tape, watch for activity on the drive's LED indicator. A blinking LED means that the loading of either the boot image or additional information required by the operating system being booted is still in progress. For network boot attempts, if the system is not connected to an active network or if the target server is inaccessible (this can also result from incorrect IP parameters being supplied), the system still attempts to boot and because time-out durations are necessarily long to accommodate retries, the system may appear to be hung. 1. Restart the system and get to the Firmware SMS utilities. In the utilities check: Is the intended boot device correctly specified in the boot sequence? For network boot attempts: Are the IP parameters correct? Attempt to Ping the target server using the SMS Ping utility. 2. If the checkpoint F05 or F5B is displayed for an extended time, there may be a problem with the integrity of the boot image. Try to boot and run standalone diagnostics against the system, particularly against the intended boot device. If the diagnostics are successful, it may be necessary to perform an operating system specific recovery process, or reinstall the operating system. 3. If attempting to boot from a disk drive, CDROM, or tape drive: a. Try a different CD/Tape (unless booting from disk drive) b. Verify proper SCSI bus termination c. Replace SCSI cable d. It is possible that another attached SCSI device is causing the problem. Disconnect any other SCSI devices attached to the same controller as the one the boot device is attached to and retry the boot operation. If this is successful, one of the devices removed is causing the problem, re-attach devices one by one and retry the boot operation until the problem recurs and replace the device that caused the problem. e. Replace SCSI adapter (if drive is attached to a card rather than the system board) f. Replace SCSI drive g. It is possible that another installed adapter is causing the problem. Remove all installed adapters except the one the boot device is attached to, try to boot the standalone diagnostics from a CDROM drive attached to the SCSI controller on the system board, and run the diagnostics against the system. 4-22
Service Guide

If this is successful, re-install adapters (and attached devices as applicable) that were removed, one at a time, and run the standalone diagnostics against the system. If problem recurs, replace the last installed device or adapter. h. Replace system board 4. If attempting to boot from a Network controller: a. Turn power Off then On and retry the boot operation b. Verify the network connection (network could be down) c. Verify that IP parameters are correct d. Try to Ping the target server e. Have network administrator verify the server configuration for this client f. Replace network cable g. Replace network adapter (unless trying to boot using the ethernet controller on the system board) h. It is possible that another installed adapter is causing the problem. Remove all installed adapters except the one you are trying to boot, and try to boot the standalone diagnostics from a CDROM drive attached to the SCSI controller on the system board. If this is successful, run the diagnostics against the system, particularly against the target network boot controller/adapter. If this is successful, re-install adapters (and attached devices as applicable) that were removed, one at a time, and run the diagnostics against the system.

Firmware Location Codes


These codes can be found in the System Management Services error log as described in Step 1020-4 on page 2-8. Location codes vary in length depending on the device being referenced. In general, if a location code is referring to an adapter or controller, the location code is 4 digits (eg. 04-01 identifies the device/controller /adapter on the PCI bus, in physical slot 1). If a device is optional and plugs into an adapter/controller, it is normally 8 digits (eg. 01-C0-00-00 is identifying the first diskette drive).

Location Code format


The basic format of the location code is: For non-SCSI devices/drives AB-CD-EF-GH For SCSI devices/drives (not controllers/adapters) AB-CD-EF-G,H G is the SCSI bus ID (PUN) of the device and H is the Logical Unit Number (LUN). The AB value identifies the bus type as follows:
00 01 04 05 Processor bus ISA bus PCI bus PCMCIA bus

The CD value depends on whether the device is integrated or a plug in adapter. For plug in adapters, the value is a decimal number in the range of 01 to 99 that identifies the system slot. For integrated devices (eg. the integrated PCI Ethernet controller), the value of G is an uppercase alphabetic character in the range from A to Z and is generated based on the device discovery order as specified in the Open Firmware 1275 specification for the probe process which translates into Device Tree order. The EF value, as generated by the firmware, is always 00. The GH value (except for SCSI devices) is a subsystem dependent index value indicating subordinate devices of the parent identified by the AB-CD-EF value. Examples:

Service Guide

Chapter 5. Loading the System Diagnostics


If no keys are pressed after the system unit power is turned on, the system unit searches a list of devices (the default boot list) for a bootable image. If a bootable image is found, then the system unit loads and starts the operating system. This is called a normal boot. The system unit can also be booted from a custom boot list, which can be changed through the System Management Services. If certain keys are pressed during system startup, the system unit searches the default or custom boot list for a bootable image to start in service mode instead of normal mode. After a successful service mode boot, the diagnostic programs are started automatically. The following pages describe the default and custom boot lists, and how to boot from these in either normal or service mode.

Default Boot List


The default boot list is composed of the first device found of each of the following types: 1. Diskette drive 2. CD-ROM drive 3. Disk Drive 4. Network device If this default boot list is used during system startup, the system unit attempts to boot from the diskette drive, then the first CD-ROM drive encountered, then the first disk drive encountered, and finally the first network connection encountered.

Custom Boot List


The contents of the custom boot list can be defined by using the graphical System Management Services (see Boot on page 6-7) or the text-based System Management Services (see Select Boot Devices on page 6-27). When the custom boot list is utilized during system startup, system unit attempts to boot in turn from each specific device in the custom boot list. Note: Only the specific devices contained in the custom boot list are checked for a bootable image. Other devices of the same type are not searched for a bootable image unless they are also specified in the custom boot list.
Chapter 5. Loading the System Diagnostics

5-1

If no bootable image is found in the custom boot list, then the system restarts and attempts to boot again. If the custom boot list is discovered to be corrupted, the system rebuilds the custom boot list according to the default boot list.

Service Mode Boot: Loading Diagnostics


The system unit can be booted in service mode (instead of normal mode) from either the default boot list or custom boot list. After a successful service mode boot, the diagnostic programs are started automatically.

Booting in Service Mode from the Default Boot List


To boot in service mode from the default boot list, do the following: 1. Verify with the system administrator and users that all programs will be stopped, then do so. 2. Insert the diagnostic CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, if you intend to run standalone diagnostics. 3. Turn off the system. 4. Wait 30 seconds, then turn on the system. 5. When the keyboard indicator appears during startup, press the F5 key if the system console is a directly-attached keyboard, or the 5 key if the system console is an ASCII terminal. 6. Enter any passwords. Diagnostics loaded from CD-ROM are called standalone diagnostics. Since the default boot list checks the CD-ROM drive before the disk drive, this procedure is used to start standalone diagnostics.

Booting in Service Mode from the Custom Boot List


To boot in service mode from the custom boot list, do the following: 1. Verify with the system administrator and users that all programs will be stopped, then do so. 2. Turn off the system. 3. Wait 30 seconds, then turn on the system.

5-2

Service Guide

4. When the keyboard indicator appears during startup, press the F6 key if the system console is a directly-attached keyboard, or the 6 key if the system console is an ASCII terminal. 5. Enter any passwords. Diagnostics loaded from a disk drive or network are called online diagnostics. (Online diagnostics can be used only if AIX is installed.) Since the custom boot list should list the disk drive or network device before the CD-ROM drive, this procedure is used to start online diagnostics. To ensure that using the custom boot list starts online diagnostics, do not insert the diagnostics CD-ROM.

Chapter 5. Loading the System Diagnostics

5-3

Standalone vs. Online Diagnostics


When the system unit attempts to boot in service mode (from either the default or custom boot list) and locates a diagnostics CD-ROM before any other bootable image, then the system unit starts standalone diagnostics. Standalone diagnostics can be used on system units installed with any supported operating system. When the system unit attempts to boot in service mode (from either the default or custom boot list) and first locates a bootable image on disk drive or network connection, then the system unit starts online diagnostics. Online diagnostics can only be used on system units installed with the AIX operating system. Because the type of diagnostics started (standalone or online) depends on the source from which they are loaded, changing the boot list used during system startup can affect which diagnostics are run.

Recommended Boot Options


The procedures under Service Mode Boot: Loading Diagnostics on page 5-2 produce the following recommended results: Default boot list (F5 or 5 key) with diagnostics CD-ROM inserted loads Standalone Diagnostics. Custom boot list (F6 or 6 key) without diagnostics CD-ROM inserted loads Online Diagnostics, if AIX is installed on a device in the custom boot list.
