Troubleshoot logical partitions

Resolve logical partition errors efficiently using the troubleshooting advisor. You can also determine whether the server having problems has logical partitions so that you can more quickly find a solution.

If you have problems with a partitioned system, determine if the problem is specific to logical partitions or a general system problem. If your problem is specific to logical partitions, use this section along with the SRC finder to understand system reference codes (SRCs) and recovery action needed to resolve the error. However, specific recovery actions and tasks might require the assistance of the Technical Support Center.

• Logical partition system reference code (SRC) finder
  
• System reference codes (SRCs) for logical partitions
  Find a list that contains the common SRCs that the PAL can report.
• Determine whether the server has logical partitions
  Use iSeries™ Navigator to determine whether the server has been configured to run logical partitions.
• System reference codes (SRCs) for logical partitions
  Understand how to determine whether your server has run into any logical partitioning errors.
• View the Product Activity Log (PAL) for logical partitions
  Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) or System Service Tools (SST) to find system reference codes for logical partitions.
• Find system reference codes for each logical partition
  Use iSeries™ Navigator to find the most recent system reference codes for each logical partition on your server.
• Resolve system reference codes for logical partitions
  Find a list of common system reference codes and a suggested corrective action for logical partitions.
• Logical partition error messages and reports
  Obtain a list of error messages specific to logical partitions.
• Work with configuration data for logical partitions
  Use DST and SST to clear, copy and update configuration data, to configure nonconfigured disk units, to clear nonreporting resources, to accept a disk unit as a load source, and to delete logical partitions on the server.
• Situations requiring the assistance of a service representative
  Report server problems that require technical assistance from the Technical Support Center.
