Based on the location of U5796.001.16675A7-P1-C1 I tend to agree that it
is in the 5796 expansion unit. And it is in card slot 1.
Can you show the WRKHDWRSC *STG?
On an unrelated system a sample would be
Resource Type-model Status Text
CMB08 57CE-001 Operational Storage Controller
DC05 57CE-001 Operational Storage Controller
And I would use "9=Work with resource" on each to ensure that this card
affected ONLY the one thing and didn't show any disk drives. On my sample
it would show disk drives.
Option "7=Display resource detail" would show me a representation similar
to your U5796.001.16675A7-P1-C1. In my example I would see card slot 12.
Caution: Read the rest, entirely, before proceeding.
1. Start a service tool
7. Hardware service manager
1. Packaging hardware resources (systems, frames, cards,...)
Find your 5796. "9=Hardware contained within package"
Location should show "P1-C1". "3=Concurrent maintenance"
"2=Toggle identify indicator state" will turn the little green light on
the card off/on so that you can ensure you have the right card. Toggle it
off, check, toggle it back on, check.
If you are "DARN" sure you have the right one, then use "F9=Power off
domain". The green light should go off.
One big difference between your knowledge center and mine is that I have a
section with a title of "Removing and replacing a PCIe adapter in the
8286-41A or 8286-42A system with the power turned on in IBM i". I do not
see that section in the Knowledge Center for your model. Caution.
Notice the big difference in "Installing, removing, and replacing PCI
adapters" of your system at
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/8202-E4B/p7hak/p7hakkickoff_72x_74x.htm?pos=3
and that same section in my system at:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/POWER8/p8hak/p8hak_82x_84x_rnr_kickoff.htm?pos=4
Mine has more sections dealing with concurrent maintenance.
You need a newer model if only to increase the uptime in service
maintenance. :-)
I heard P7's were unfriendly towards concurrent maintenance. We went
straight from P6's to P8's.
Once you're done
STRSST
1. Start a service tool
7. Hardware service manager
4. Failed and non-reporting hardware resources
4=Remove
Now, if you're in the habit of moving devices between LPARs you might not
want to remove those devices just because they are not currently allocated
on that lpar. OTOH, if it generates a new device every time and you have
a shipload of the obsolete ones in here then blast them to kingdom come.
