IBM SY44-5902-05 manual Querying logical partition time and date

Querying logical partition time and date

Use this procedure to determine the local partition time and date values for the primary partition.

1.From the iSeries Main Menu, select Define or change the system.

2.From the Define or Change the System display, select Work with system values.

3.From the Work With System Values display, enter the Display option for the QDATE and QTIME system values.

Converting secondary partition time and date to primary partition time and date

Use the “Querying logical partition time and date” procedure to determine the time and date values for the primary partition and any other logical partition that you are working with.

1.Record the difference in time between the primary partition and each secondary partition with which you are working. You can use the following table to do this.

Table 12. Time and date conversion table

Secondary partition time and date

Partition name and	Partition time and date
number

Primary partition time and date (record immediately after recording secondary partition time and date)

Conversion value = primary time and date minus the secondary time and date (Primary - Secondary)

The Service Action Log (SAL) Entry Timestamps for any logical partition that you are working with are converted to primary partition time by adding the conversion value in the last column of the table to the SAL entry time.

Finding the SRC history list for a secondary partition

Use this procedure to find the SRC history list that is created during an IPL of a secondary partition.

1.From the SST or DST display on the primary partition’s console, select Work with system partitions.

2.At the Work with System Partitions display, select Display partition information.

3.At the Display Partition Information display, select Display secondary partition reference code history. Page down to the partition ID for which you want the reference code history. Use the function key labeled Include reference code detail to expand the display of SRC information from only word 1 to all words of the SRC.

Closing related problems in other logical partitions

Look in the SALs of other logical partitions where problems may have been logged by the same failing item just replaced. Search the primary partition. If the failure was I/O related, then search any logical partition that shares the bus with the I/O failure. For any problems that were caused by the failing item that was just replaced, close the problem. Use the following procedure:
