Varying configuration descriptions on and off

How to reset an I/O processor card while the system is up and running

Resetting an IOP restarts and reloads that IOP. Use this procedure to recover from an intermittent error condition.

Note: You can also perform an IOP reset under the hardware service manager function (see “Debug the resource” on page 66).

1.Note: You cannot reset the workstation IOP for the workstation at which you are working or a workstation that is the only one on the system.

Do you want to reset the local workstation IOP?

No Yes

↓Vary off the local workstation IOP (see “Varying configuration descriptions on and off”).

Then, go to step 5 of this procedure.

1.Do you want to reset the communications IOP?

No Yes

↓Vary off all the lines on a communications IOP (see “Varying configuration descriptions on and off”).

Then, go to step 5 of this procedure.

2.Do you want to reset the cryptographic IOP?

No Yes

↓You must end cryptographic services. Enter ENDCS (End Cryptographic Services) command.

To reset the cryptographic IOP, enter STRCS Press F4 to prompt parameters. Then, enter RESET *YES. This ends the procedure.

3.Do you want to reset a tape, optical, or disk IOP without an attached disk unit?

Yes No

↓ This ends the procedure.

4.Vary off all the IOPs and device descriptions on the IOP (see “Varying configuration descriptions on and off”).

5.Enter the VRYCFG (Vary Configuration) command. Then, press F4 for prompting.

6.Enter STATUS *ON RESET *YES Then, press the Enter key.

This ends the procedure.
