Re: Power7 57B58150

Degraded refers to the IOA working without the cache. it's usually caused
by bad batteries but if no 8008 src is present it might be a bad controller
or aux IOA.
Since this controller doesnt have a cache battery and is single slotted
(therefore no aux IOA) the only remaining possibilities are that it's not
being paired correctly to the second controller or one of the controllers
is failing. Is the system LPAR'ed? are both controllers assigned to that
LPAR? Is the cabling between controllers correct?
I had the 8150 src a few weeks ago but in an older 571E/574F pair. Had to
replace the 574F card.
Best of luck and let us know how it ends.

Power off/restart is the easiest. You could also remove the cards from the
configuration, use SST to power them off, power them back on and add them
back into the configuration. That is only a procedure you should attempt
if
you understand how to power off/on domains in SST/DST.

Also, if the AA cable was inserted into that card with the system running
and power applied to the card, it could have damaged the card, therefore
throwing the errors you see. IBM hardware support may have to do advanced
diagnostics to figure out if that happened. Those cards are not designed
for hot plug of the cabling.

Additional note - talked with some of the technicians here. one states it
may be possible they powered up the box without the AA cable (which i think
will fire up that error). Maybe we just need to reset the degraded mode -
question is: how :)

Do you have it cabled correctly.
