Re: 8203-E4A with corrupted service processor

Roberto,

I've found this:

"Move the reset toggle switches on the service processor from their current position to the opposite position. To perform this task, you must remove and replace the service processor. For details, contact your next level of support." on a BULL document about Power6 systems  and I remember the same line from IBM P6 system docs.

http://www.audentia-gestion.fr/BULL/86A129FA02.pdf


I'm sure I've done this with Power6. I agree, with Power7 and beyond I don't remember the need to reset nor the switches.

Regards


Diego Kesselman

AFAIK no "hard reset" on P6 and above hardware. Can't understand how you
could kill the FSP with a reset. It takes a long time (5+ minutes) but
always ends... If you had VIOS you supposedly had an HMC, why do baremetal
when you have an HMC?
I've seen c1001029 on machines without the VPD Card (forgot to plug it
after replacing a board...)...

Best Regards,

Roberto

Have you tried to move the 2 dip switches to perform the hard reset?

Couple of google searches that I found show a bad service processor card.
Yeah I know its bad. My question is can be be replaced or
reprogrammed? I looked all through the docs and there is no FRU part
number or any diagrams of where its located. It looks like its built
onto the motherboard.
