IBM SY44-5902-05 manual Failed and non-reporting resources

Failed and non-reporting resources

The Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option appears on the Hardware Service Manager display when the system is in the full or limited paging environment. It allows you to display a list of the logical hardware resources that either failed or did not report to the system at the last IPL.

Note: To view location information and display a list of the packaging hardware resources that either failed or did not report at the last IPL, select the Associated packaging resource(s) option on the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display.

A failed resource that reports to the system at the time of the IPL might have a problem with its operation. On the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display, Failed appears in the Status column to indicate a failed resource. The failed resources appear at the top of the list.

A non-reporting resource does not report to the system at the time of the IPL. On the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display, a question mark symbol (?) appears next to the resource description field to indicate a non-reporting resource. The status of a non-reporting resource is Unknown.

Note: For more information on symbols, see “Symbols on the Hardware Service Manager displays” on page 93.

A failed or non-reporting resource indicates that one of the following has occurred:

vThe resource was removed from the system (non-reporting only).

vThe resource was powered off at the time of the IPL.

vThere is a problem in the signal path between the system and the device.

vThere is a resource failure.

Selecting the Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option is a quick way to display failed and non-reporting resources on the system. For information on other ways to display failed and non-reporting resources, see “Display failed resources” on page 70 or “Display non-reporting resources” on page 71.
