Re: Quick and dirty solution for 9406-MMA?

More likely the voltage regulator on the card. If you dive into the FRU you might find the failing part is really a voltage regulator ( known to be problematic on the MMA, I've seen several fail ) and that's one whale of a lot easier to fix.

In this particular case i oversimplified the "vpd bad" error, IBM says:

Explanation
Invalid processor VPD
Response
Follow the instructions for the items listed in the FRU List.
Problem determination
No additional problem determination.
Failing Item

- VPDPART<http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7eb7/vpdpart.htm>
- TWRCARD<http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7eb7/twrcard.htm>


And the VPDPART failing item tells you to replace the second processor
board.
So, the system VPD is fine, it's a processor assembly that's bad.
