LPRIP01

Use this procedure to isolate the problem when LPAR configuration data does not match the current system configuration.

1. Is there only one B6005311 error logged, and is it against the load source device for the partition, in either the Primary or a secondary partition?
   • Yes: Is the reporting partition the Primary partition?
     • Yes: Continue with the next step.
     • No: Go to step 3.
   • No: Go to step 4.
2. Was the load source disk unit migrated from another partition within the same system?
   • Yes: Is this load source device intended to be the load source for the Primary partition?
     • Yes: To accept the load source disk unit: Go to SST/DST in the current partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Accept load source disk unit. This ends the procedure.
     • No: Power off the system. Return the original load source disk to the Primary partition and perform a system IPL. This ends the procedure.
   • No: The load source disk unit has not changed. Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
3. The reporting partition is a secondary partition.

   Since the last IPL of the reporting partition, have one of the following occurred?

   • Has the Primary partition time/date been moved backward to a time/date earlier than the previous setting?
   • Has the system serial number been changed?
   • Was the load source disk unit in this secondary partition, replaced intentionally with a load source from another system or another partition from the same system?
   • Yes: To accept the load source disk unit: Go to SST/DST in the current partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Accept load source disk unitThis ends the procedure.
   • No: Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
4. Are there multiple B600 5311 SRCs logged in the same partition?
   • Yes: Continue with the next step.
   • No: None of the conditions in this procedure have been met, call your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
5. Is the resource for one of the B600 5311 SRCs the load source device and are all of the other B600 5311 entries for resources which are non-configured disk units?
   Note: To determine if a disk unit is a non-configured disk unit, refer to the "Work with disk unit options" section in the "DST options" section of the "DST chapter" in the iSeries® Service Functions information.
   • Yes: Is the partition that is reporting the error the Primary partition?
     • Yes: Continue with the next step.
     • No: Go to step 7.
   • No: Go to step 8.
6. Was the load source disk unit migrated from another partition within the same system?
   • Yes: Is this load source device intended to be the load source for the Primary partition?
     • Yes: To accept the load source disk unit: Go to SST/DST in the current partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Accept load source disk unitThis ends the procedure.
     • No: Power off the system. Return the original load source disk to the Primary partition and perform a system IPL. This ends the procedure.
   • No: The load source disk unit has not changed. Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
7. The reporting partition is a secondary partition.

   Since the last IPL of the reporting partition, have one of the following occurred:

   • Has the Primary partition time/date been moved backward to a time/date earlier than the previous setting?
   • Has the system serial number been changed?
   • Was the load source disk unit in this secondary partition, replaced intentionally with a load source from another system or another partition from the same system?
   • Yes: To accept the load source disk unit: Go to SST/DST in the current partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Accept load source disk unitThis ends the procedure.
   • No: Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
8. One or more B600 5311 SRCs have been logged in the same partition.

   Do all of the B600 5311 errors have a resource which is a non-configured disk unit in the partition?

   Note: To determine if a disk unit is a non-configured disk unit, refer to the "Work with disk unit options" section in the "DST options" section of the "DST chapter" in the iSeries Service Functions information.
   • Yes: Continue with the next step.
   • No: None of the conditions in this procedure have been met, call your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
9. Were any disk unit resources associated with the B600 5311 SRCs added to the partition, since the last IPL of this partition?
   • No: Continue with the next step.
   • Yes: Perform the following to clear non-configured disk unit configuration data:
     1. Go to SST/DST in the partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Clear non-configured disk unit configuration data.
     2. Select each unit in the list which is new to the system and press Enter.
     3. Continue the system IPL. This ends the procedure.
10. None of the resources that are associated with the B600 5311 SRCs are disk units that were added to the partition since the last IPL of the partition.

    Has a scratch install recently been performed on the partition that is reporting the error(s)?

    • No: Continue with the next step.
    • Yes: Go to step 13.
11. If a scratch install was not performed, was the clear configuration data option recently used to discontinue LPAR use?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: The Clear configuration data option was not used. Contact your next level of support. This ends the procedure.
12. Perform the following to clear non-configured disk unit configuration data:
    1. Go to SST/DST in the partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Clear non-configured disk unit configuration data.
    2. Select each unit in the list which is new to the system and press Enter.
    3. Continue the system IPL. This ends the procedure.
13. Was the load source device previously mirrored before the scratch install?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 15.
14. Perform the following to clear the old configuration data from the disk unit that was mirroring the old load source disk
    1. Go to SST/DST in the partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Clear non-configured disk unit configuration data.
    2. Select the former load source mirror in the list and press Enter.
15. Is the Primary partition reporting the B600 5311 error(s)?
    • No: This ends the procedure.
    • Yes: Does the customer want multiple partitions on the system?
      • No: This ends the procedure.
      • Yes: Use the Recover primary partition configuration data option to retrieve the LPAR configuration data from other devices in the system.
        1. Go to SST/DST in the primary partition and select Work with system partitions > Recover configuration data > Recover primary partition configuration data. The system will perform an automatic IPL.
        2. Verify the information that appears.
           • The device should be a former load source device from a secondary partition.
           • The time and date should reflect a time when that partition was active. It should be more recent than the last change to the logical partition configuration. This ends the procedure.
