Re: AS/400e 170 IPL failure

Thanks for the replies, folks.

I did buy them, but I didn't spend much and it is hobbying around.

The one that IPLs is running V5R2 - I don't have a printer hooked up
to it, so for now I used DSPLICKEY to the screen and paged through it,
photographing each one. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

I'm not sure how much more I can do with it, though. I can only log in
as QSRV - whoever had it last changed the QSECOFR passwords in both
places, so I don't have as many permissions as I'd like. I do have a
PC with some IBM software that looks like it was supposed to connect
to it, so I might dig out a hub and see if I can get them talking.

On the one that won't IPL, 27409021 appears to translate to: "Array
not functional due to present hardware configuration. Perform
“SDIOP-PIP20” on page 618". That refers to "missing devices" and, sure
enough, this machine has only one drive in the expansion chassis, as
opposed to three in the other one. So, I wouldn't be at all surprised
if that turned out to be the problem.

First, though, I need to find media. As previously stated, a D IPL is
the only thing that I can do. Amazingly, there's none to be had on
ebay!
