Re: 2787 & Position Occupied.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

We have 4 of those cards in our 570.  In each bus there is either a 2843 
or 2844 card controlling them.  Been awhile but I don't recall any such 
issues.
However, two weeks ago we put an IXS card in a bus and THEN allocated that 
bus to a partition and that showed up as occupied.  Luckily we had an IPL 
planned with a Firmware update for the FSP which entails an IPL of the 
whole rack that weekend.  That fixed that.  I was told that a PWRDWNSYS 
*IMMED RESTART(*YES) would not have done it.  I reckon we should have 
allocated that bus to a partition, then used SST to hot plug the IXS card 
in.

2787 & Position Occupied.






I have a an I570 with 3 expansion racks, each contains two 2787 PCI-X 
fibre cards. The cards are in the same positions in each rack. In two of 
the racks in position C06, the cards don't seem to be functioning 
properly. Under DST the cards are reporting as position occupied, in the 
HMC the cards  appear as PCI-X but the serial number is not being 
detected.
 
Support indicated that there is known problem with 2787 cards and if you 
power off and card this should fix the problem.
It hasn't fixed the problem.
 
Just wondering has anybody come across the problem, before I start getting 
engineers out of bed.
 
Thanks.
