Does the customer have an available alternate load source that can be switched?

Yes No

↓ There is no alternate load source for the logical partition.

7.Have the customer switch the IOP with an available alternate load source to the logical partition that requires an alternate load source. Have the customer mark the IOP as the alternate IPL resource and note the alternate load source-physicallocation.

Locating a secondary partition’s load source from the primary partition’s console

Use this procedure to locate a logical partition’s load source and alternate load source in a system that has logical partitions by using the console of the primary partition.

Note: The logical partition identifier or partition name is required to perform this procedure.

The partition number is the last two digits in the logical serial number of the logical partition.

1.Go to the console of the primary partition.

a.Locate the secondary partition and look for its load source. The load source and alternate IPL resource are tagged on the screen under the logical partition’s IOP information. Note that the logical partition may not have an alternate IPL resource. Note the logical address of the load source and alternate IPL resource. Use the logical address to determine where the physical load source is located.

b.If the logical partition does not have an alternate IPL resource and one is needed, perform the following:

1)Determine if the customer has an alternate IPL resource that can be switched to this logical partition.

Does the customer have an available alternate IPL resource that can be switched?
