FWRIPL

The FWRIPL procedures can help if a system or a partition will not boot.

If a supported adapter is installed, perform the following:

  1. Replace the adapter. For adapter FRU part numbers, see Managing PCI Adapters, order number SA76-0092.
  2. Replace the I/O backplane in the unit in which the adapter is plugged. Use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU):

    CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
      9406-MMA, 9117-MMA 42R7352 I/O backplane Un-P1
      5790, 7311-D11 80P6626 I/O backplane Un-P1
      0595, 5095, 7311-D20 39J0515 I/O backplane Un-P1
      5796, 7314-G30 10N7677 I/O backplane Un-P1

If there are no supported LAN adapters installed in a full system partition, install one and reboot the system. If a supported LAN adapter is not assigned to the partition in a server running multiple partitions, deactivate the partition, assign a supported LAN adapter to the partition, then reactivate the partition.

This ends the procedure.
