Re: hardware issues after voltage regulator replacement Power 7

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

The HMC tried to start, ran by some codes and then issued error for the
voltage regulator part - which was replaced.
The machine then came up fully, but with the Raid card error.

Ay idea why one drive showing at "QUAL" in Activity Log?
