Use this procedure to identify an adapter that is operational but is not located in the same partition as its associated adapter.

An adapter identified that its associated adapter is operational but is not located in the same partition. Use this procedure to identify the serial number and then find the location of the associated adapter and reassign it so that both adapters are in the same partition. Note: If the associated adapter is located in a different i5/OS(R) partition, there might also be a B600690A logged against the associated adapter in that partition.

  1. The adapter against which the B600690A is logged has identified that its associated adapter can not be found in this partition. Find the resource name that this error was logged against. This can be obtained from the Service Action Log (see "Using the Service Action Log"). Then, using the resource name, perform the following:
    1. Access SST or DST.
    2. Select Start a Service Tool.
    3. Select Hardware Service Manager.
    4. Select Locate resource by resource name.
    5. Enter the resource name that this error was logged against.
    6. Take the option to Display detail for the adapter.
  2. The bottom of the resource detail screen displays any combination of the following information: 
    Attached storage IOA resource name. :
Attached storage IOA serial number. :
Attached storage IOA link status. . :

Or 

Attached auxiliary IOA resource name:
Attached auxiliary IOA serial number:
Attached auxiliary IOA link status. :

Or 

Remote storage IOA resource name. . :
Remote storage IOA serial number. . :
Remote storage IOA link status. . . :
  3. Using the serial number information displayed for the Attached or Remote IOA, have the customer determine which partition currently owns the adapter with that serial number by using logical resource or VPD utilities in each of the partitions on the system. Note: The CCIN of the associated adapter is the first four characters of word 6 of the SRC.
  4. Then, have the customer ensure that both adapters are owned by the same partition. For further assistance, the customer should contact their software service provider. This ends the procedure.
