A7xx6995 User intervention required

The system is in the process of terminating.

When all the partitions have terminated, an SRC indicating the exact cause will be shown on the operator panel. If the system does not terminate in a reasonable amount of time, one or more partitions may need to be terminated manually. If this is not possible, re-IPL the system and look for errors. If no errors are found, contact your next level of support.

Information only, no service action required.

Opticonnect normal remote disconnection from OptiConnect participation. HSL Opticonnect disconnected normally from a remote node. The local system or partition has stopped participating in HSL Opticonnect with the remote system or partition on the same HSL loop. Possible reasons include:
  • A remote system or partition went off line due to a normal power off or because HSL Opticonnect became disabled.
 
A7xx69C6 Platform LIC detected an error.

Abnormal or unexpected HSL OptiConnect disconnection from a remote system or partition.

The local system or partition disconnected from a remote system or partition due to an unexpected event or failure. The problem, which most likely originates with the remote system or partition, probably requires intervention at the remote system. Examine both the local and remote HSL OptiConnected systems or partitions for problems on this HSL loop.

Possible reasons include: A fatal software or hardware error in the remote system or partition, or a power failure in the remote system.

If a complete HSL loop did not exist before this error occurred, the cause of this error might be a failure or power down in an HSL component between the local system or partition and the remote system or partition. Check for a problem with the following:
  • An HSL cable
  • The HSL I/O bridge
  • Power in an expansion I/O tower or unit on this loop

On the local system or partition, examine the Service Action Log (SAL) or serviceable event view. Look for HSL failures that occurred on the same HSL loop at approximately the same time as this error.

Examine the remote system or partition for problems. If the remote system or partition is powered on and IPL'd, examine the SAL or serviceable event view on the remote system or partition. Look for problems on the same HSL loop that occurred at approximately the same time as this error.

Correct any problems you find with the remote and local systems or partitions that happened at approximately the same time and involve HSL Opticonnect or HSL loop components or Network Interface Controllers.

When the remote system is IPL'd, it will automatically reconnect with this system or partition. If you find no problems with either the local or the remote systems or partitions, collect all the Product Activity Log (PAL) information for this failure on both systems. Be sure to record all words in the SRC. Contact your next level of support.

Abnormal or unexpected HSL OptiConnect disconnection from a remote system or partition.

The local system or partition disconnected from a remote system or partition due to an unexpected event or failure. Licensed Internal Code will attempt to recover from the error. Intervention at the local or remote system or partition might be required.

Possible causes include time out, hang, or hardware failure. The problem may be with the local system or partition or the remote system or partition. If a complete HSL loop did not exist before this error occurred, the cause of this error might be a failure or power down in an HSL component between the local system or partition and the remote system or partition. Check for SRCs with FRUs that indicate problems with the following:
  • An HSL cable
  • The HSL I/O bridge
  • Power in an expansion I/O tower or unit on this loop

On the local system or partition, examine the SAL or serviceable event view. Look for failures on the same loop or with the Network Interface Controller that occurred at approximately the same time as this error.

Examine the remote system or partition for problems. Correct any HSL or NIC problems you find with the remote and local systems or partitions. If you find no problems with either the local or the remote systems or partitions, collect all the PAL information for this failure on both systems. Be sure to record all words in the SRC. Contact your next level of support.
