RTRIP05

Use the attached procedure when this reference code occurs for a RIO/HSL/12X loop resource, when an I/O expansion unit on the loop is powered off for a concurrent maintenance action.

Note: This reference code can occur for the RIO/HSL/12X loop resource when an I/O expansion unit on the loop is powered off for a concurrent maintenance action.
Note: A fiber-optic cleaning kit may be required for optical RIO/HSL/12X connections.
  1. Multiple B600 6982 errors may occur due to efforts to retry and recover. If the recovery efforts were successful, there will be a B600 6985 reference code with xxxx 3206 in word 4 logged after all B600 6982 reference codes in the product activity log (PAL). If this is the case, close out all the B600 6982 entries. Then continue with the next step.
  2. Is there a B600 6987 reference code in the service action log (SAL) logged at about the same time?
    • Yes: Close this problem and work the B600 6987.
    • This ends the procedure.
    • No: Continue with the next step.
  3. Is there a B600 6981 reference code in the SAL logged at approximately the same time?
    • Yes: Go to step 8.
    • No: Continue with the next step.
  4. Perform RIOIP06 to determine if any other systems are connected to this loop and then return here.
    Note: The loop number can be found in the SAL in the description for the HSL_LNK FRU.
    Are there other systems connect to this loop?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 8.
  5. Check for HSL failures in the SALs on the other systems before replacing parts. HSL failures are indicated by SAL entries with HSL I/O bridge and Network Interface Controller (NIC) resources. Ignore B600 6982 and B600 6984 entries.

    Are there HSL failures on other systems?

    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 8.
  6. Repair the problems on the other systems and return to this step. After making repairs on the other systems check the PAL of this system. Is there a B600 6985, along with this loop's resource name, that was logged after the repairs you made on the other systems?
    • Yes: Continue with the next step.
    • No: Go to step 8.
  7. For the B600 6985 reference code you found, use Status indications for RIO/HSL to determine if the loop is now complete.

    Is the loop complete?

    • Yes: The problem has been resolved.
    • This ends the procedure.
    • No: Go to step 8.
  8. The FRU list displayed in the SAL may be different from the failing item list given here. Use the SAL's FRU list when it is available.

    Does this reference code appear in the SAL with the symbolic FRU HSL_LNK listed as a FRU?

    • Yes: Perform RIOIP01.
    • This ends the procedure.
    • No: Exchange the FRUs listed in the SAL according to their part action codes.
    • This ends the procedure.
