Re: PTF install questions

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah! i know what your problem is...
Front panel, does it perchance read: 01 B N V=F P? it should read 01 B N
V=F T. In the same way you have A side and B side for LIC you have P and T
(permanent and temporal) sides for the FSP's firmware. You are IPL'ing from
P which is the same as IPLing from A and expecting ptfs to be loaded.
Next time, do a PWRDWNSYS but take care that it's a *FULL and not a *SYS
one. It'll restart the FSP and load the correct fw.

Best Regards!
