Re: Status unmatch HMC and Power 8 server.

HMC 8.7 and the latest code of 8.8.6 have so many bugs I can't begin to
keep
them cataloged. I just installed a new 41A with an 8.7 HMC and it did
not
show those problems but I'm no surprised.

I just closed a PMR where the RMC connection was lost to two VIOS servers.
Took them five days to get to a resolution. Meanwhile I had to rebuild
100% of the SEAs and all communications to the partitions. That was at
8.8.6.

But does the HMC and FSP every communicate? Like, can you start 5250
sessions? Can you look at the hardware? etc?
Basically if there is NO communication anymore that's one issue. But if
there is just no communication about the SRC changing during startup that's
a whole other issue.

Hi Rob.

- never catch up to matching during startup and shutdown?

->YES.

- eventually match but there seems to be a lag time before they do?

->NO.

-Before update -
S814---SV860_109 (FW860.31)
HMC---MH01723 (V8R8.7.0 M0 Fix)

-> This is OK.

IBM CE told us that the FSP and HMC does not communicate from packet
capture.

The link you show me is very useful.

Hi.

We have been using the Power 8 machine(S814). (which are installed i
7.3 )

There are problem as follows.

1)when start up (by HMC)

S814 server have already started with status STAND BY, but C7004091

is

displayed on HMC yet.

2)when shutdown (by HMC)

S814 server had been shutdown but C19020 (or C19020FF) is still
displayed on HMC.

We push PF5 to refresh the screen of HMC every time.

Does anyone have those problems.

We appreciate any advise.

Kind Regards.
