RE: Problems with AS/400 250

Does a disk with that Serial Number exist on the system?

Did you do the Option 2 install (Install Licensed Internal Code and
Initialize system) from the Install Licensed Internal Code menu?  

I'm not sure if the load source has to be in a specific slot, but if it
does I'd guess that it's L01 (the top slot).

Hi Folks,

Guiding some folks through a reload from scratch of a 250 that had been
sitting idle for a couple of years. This is the same one I posted on
awhile back; turns out it was scratched I guess.

So the restore was started via the IPL to tape and their first save tape
(from Save 21).

And after awhile a screen is displayed with:

Install Licensed Code - Error

Error: The load source disk could not be found (see disk information
below.)

Missing load source disk:

Serial Number    Type     Model   I/O Bus Controller
33-0C88590       6717     050       0            1
 

A disk could not be selected to the load source.  You can return to the
Dedicated Service Tools display and run diagnostics  to determine why a
disk could not be selected.

Correct the problem and install the Licensed Internal Code Again.

So is this a "stiction" (sp) problem since it sat for so long ?

Thanks !
Chuck
