I put the same firmware on a 550... When it was done cycling the FSP, it came up OK, but the first time I tried activating a LPAR it said there was not enough memory to complete the operation. Long story short, changed the memory requirements in the profile and reactivated - it worked. Dynamically LPARed in the memory I reduced it by and all is well. My theory is that the system needed a "wake-up call" from the HMC to clear out its knowledge of the current memory being used (which since all partitions were down was ZERO, although the CEC properties showed it all being used.) I have no idea. Anyway - that's my experience on an LPAR system for that microcode level. Although not the same problem, I am concerned as to being this far along in the iterations of the firmware code and seeing something like this. IBM is aware of it though, so hopefully we won't see it again. Justin C.

Called IBM and report that my HMC listed these codes: B181B600 and B303001. Turns out these are quite common during a FSP reboot. Basically they mean communication was lost between the FSP and the HMC. Makes sense to me. So far, no big deal. Now how do I turn the attention light off? They said STRSST 1-Start a service tool 7-Hardware service manager 6-Work with service action log And just when I was about to hit F6 to clear all this stuff... I ask "This also shows a A7001730, what's that?" IBM's response - "Well have a CE call you and it will involve replacing some parts...". Me-"I am putting this same firmware on my 570 today. Will I have the same issue?" IBM-"It's more 520 specific." Now I am waiting on the call from the CE...
