SLOTUSE

The card in the given slot is not available for use.

  1. Is the SRC B2002250 or B2002300?
    • No: Continue with step 3.
    • Yes: The first two characters in word 4 of the reference code will identify the platform LIC component that has control of the slot. Continue with the next step.

  2. What is the value of the first two characters of word 4 of the reference code?
    • 81: The component that has control of the slot is concurrent maintenance. The concurrent maintenance procedure must complete before the partition will IPL. This ends the procedure.
    • 02 or 03: The component that has control of the slot is HMC service or HMC configuration. Make sure that HMC functions are not using the slot. This ends the procedure.
    • Other: Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.

  3. Is the SRC B2002475?
    • No: Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.

  4. Look in the serviceable event view for part numbers and location codes associated with the card slot.

    Note: There will not be a part number if the card slot is empty.

    If the reference code is on the control panel, look in the FRU callout section of the reference code for the location of the card slot. Check the server to see if a card is physically present in the card slot.
    Is a card physically present?
    • No: Use symbolic FRU LPARCFG to reconfigure the card slot so that it is not a required resource to IPL the partition. This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: Exchange the failing card. This ends the procedure.
