MAP 0235: System Array Self-Repair Problem Resolution

Use this MAP to resolve problems reported by SRNS A11-560 to A11-580.

Note: The following steps may require that the system be rebooted to invoke Array bit steering, so you may wish to schedule deferred maintenance with the system administrator to arrange a convenient time to reboot their system.

Step 0235-1

Was the SRN A11-560?

NO
Go to Step 0235-3.
YES
Go to Step 0235-2.

Step 0235-2

Logged in as root or using CE Login, at the AIX command line type diag then press enter. Use the Log Repair Action option in the TASK SELECTION menu to update the AIX error log. Select sysplanar0.
Note: On systems with fault indicator LED, this changes the fault indicator LED from the FAULT state to the NORMAL state.
Were there any other errors on the resource reporting the array bit steering problem?
NO
Step 0235-4.
YES
Resolve those errors before proceeding.

Step 0235-3

Logged in as root or using CE Login, at the AIX command line type diag then press enter. Use the Log Repair Action option in the TASK SELECTION menu to update the AIX error log. Select procx, where x is the processor number of the processor that reported the error.
Note: On systems with fault indicator LED, this changes the fault indicator LED from the FAULT state to the NORMAL state.

Were there any other errors on procx?

NO
Step 0235-4.
YES
Resolve those errors before proceeding.

Step 0235-4

Schedule deferred Maintenance with the customer. When it is possible, reboot the system to invoke Array Bit steering.

Step 0235-5

After the system has been rebooted, log in as root or use CE Login. At the AIX command line, run diagnostics in problem determination mode to determine if the array bit steering was able to correct the problem.

If diagnostics are not run (for instance, if the system returns to Resource Selection menu after running diagnostics in problem determination mode) or there is no problem on the resource that originally reported the problem, then array bit steering was able to correct the problem.
