and wants to use the same resource names when the future switch occurs). If this option is selected, the resource names will show as non-reporting in the partition that they were removed from following the next IPL of that partition.

–2=Remove and clear hardware resource(s) removes the resource names (when permanently moving or removing the resource).

Corrective action: Work with the customer to understand why the option to leave resource names was selected. These resources should be left as is if the customer intends to switch the resource back to the partition from which they were removed.

This will cause problems with the device descriptor that uses this resource; for example, TAP01 being used by multiple partitions.

vThe resource has actually failed or has been removed from the system.

Corrective action: Find out why each missing or non-reporting resource exists. Follow normal problem-determination procedures including analyzing the service action log. You can then clear non-reporting resources by following the steps in the Troubleshooting logical partitions category of the iSeries Information Center.

1.Go to the console of the primary partition.

2.From the SST or DST display, select the Work with system partitions option.

3.At the Work with System Partitions display:

a.Record the partition manager release.

b.Record the number of partitions.

c.Select Display partition information.

4.At the Display Partition Information display, select Display Allocated I/O Resources.

a.Locate the secondary partition and look for its console. The console and alternative console are tagged on the screen under the logical partition’s
