Re: B20003200

"Good" morning.

I have IBM in my remote data center replacing a card for a fiber attached
tape drive. They IPL'd and have been battling a B2003200. After multiple
IOP replacements, we are getting ready to replace the IOA, can't remember
the RAID card number. Looking at the source code, it says it can't find
the load source. I'm assuming that either the IOP or IOA isn't working and
it's not really the load source. Am I missing something? The load source
should really be in a RAID-5 configuration and unless I have two failed
drives, it's not failed, right?

I've requested that he do a slow IPL but for some reason he keeps doing
the standard fast one. I would think if the IOP/IOA can't be found
(discovered), that the IBM'er would have taken the time for the slower,
walking the bas, IPL. Am I missing something? Its been some time since
I've had to deal with the hardware side.
