Use this procedure to resolve the following problem: Multiple
adapters connected in an invalid configuration (SRC xxxx9073)
The possible causes are:
- Incompatible adapters are connected to each other. This includes invalid
adapter combinations such as the following:
- Adapters with different write cache sizes
- One adapter is not supported by i5/OS®
- An adapter that does not support auxiliary cache is connected to an auxiliary
cache adapter
- An adapter that supports Dual Storage IOAs is connected to another adapter
which does not have the same support
- Greater than 2 adapters are connected for Dual Storage IOAs
- Adapter code levels are not up to date or are not at the same level of
functionality
- One adapter, of a connected pair of adapters, is not operating under the i5/OS operating
system. Connected adapters must both be controlled by i5/OS. Additionally, both adapters must
be in the same system partition.
- Adapters connected for Dual Storage IOAs are not cabled correctly. Each
type of Dual Storage IOA configuration requires specific cables be used in
a supported manner.
Determine which of the possible causes applies to the current configuration
and take the appropriate actions to correct it. If this does not correct the
error, contact your hardware service provider.
This ends the procedure.
