RE: Lovely: Our 840 12-way is down.

Congrats Rob !

So how long did access path rebuilds take ?

I was telling a friend about this and he said they had problems with the
power supplies in their 820-24 way (or is that 12 ? Can't remember). It has
3 and when one was replaced it crashed the system. When it came back up, it
reported another was bad - i.e. misreporting...  They were told this was a
known problem and forget concurrent maintenance - the recommended path was
powering down the system and replacing all of them at once...

The 840 is up, kind of.  Came back up around midnight:30 last night.  The
new AC module is working fine.  We have a bad power supply still.  Maybe
we'll replace that this weekend.  It's redundant.  Evidently the spike
from the 400 kicked off a little something on the UPS also.  Just a simple
reset of that particular item (didn't affect any other equipment - no
additional downtime on our other iSeries, etc), and it's fine.

Data seems fine.  Some application record locks, but nothing OS related.

IPL is still in progress.  Storage Management didn't take too long.
Context Rebuild has been running for over 57 minutes though.

They're still working on it.  Had to replace an AC module.  After that got
replaced a power supply notified us that it was bad.  In theory we can run
without that power supply, it can be replaced concurrently, and it will be
another 4 hours if they rush one in.  We're going to run 'bareback'.  They
had this power supply on order to be drop shipped to us at 8am tomorrow
anyway.  So Dave will be back in 10 hours.  He'll leave after the IPL
completes and get's checked out.

Had our 840-12 way drop unexpectedly.
11 - A6xx 0255
12 - 0DB0 0062 0001 0002
     2505 8100 0019 1000
13 - 0000 0120 0019 1000
     2843 0000 B600 6973

This is a 6 tower system.  One of the towers has no lights on any of it's
panels.  It has no lights on any of it's power supplies.  We had our
electrician check the outlet.  It is good. We called software.  They
quickly
determined it was hardware and stayed on the phone until hardware had all
the information they needed.  We've IPLed up to DST and have 3 failing
part
numbers SIIOADP  LOOP# 257 - HSL I/O BRIDGE 04N5508  NETWORK INTERFACE
CONTROLLER SIRGCBL  LOOP#257 - HSL CABLE OR CONNECTION

Central had notified local, and gave them some suggested part numbers.
Still
waiting for news from the Fort Wayne office.

Anyone seen the Weber brothers?
