Use this procedure to reset the service processor.
Note:
Use this procedure only under the
direction of your next level of support or your hardware service provider.
During this procedure you will be powering off the system and removing and
reapplying AC power.
Inform anyone using the server that it will be shut down.
Stop all applications that are running on the server.
Stop the operating system and server by choosing
from the following options:
If you have an HMC,
shut down all logical partitions and the server. For instructions see Powering on and powering off. Then continue with step 6.
If you do not have an HMC,
continue with the next step.
Log in to the system as a user with the authority
to run the appropriate shutdown command.
At the command line, enter one of the following commands:
If your system is running AIX(R),
type shutdown
If your system is running i5/OS(R),
type PWRDWNSYS *IMMED
If your system is running Linux(R),
type shutdown -h now
These commands stop the operating system. The system
power turns off, the power-on light begins to slowly blink, and the system
goes into a standby state.
Unplug the AC power cord and replug it back in.
Start the server. The service processor is reset. This
ends the procedure.
