System reference codes (SRCs) for Linux

To display SRCs, see Display the reference code history for secondary partitions for instructions on how to list the last 200 reference codes for a partition. Additional SRCs for logical partitions can be found at Resolve server reference codes for logical partitions. If an SRC is not listed, it may not be related to logical partitions. You should consult the Troubleshooting documentation or your next level of service.

System reference codes (SRCs) for logical partitions explains what SRCs are and how to identify them.

Reference codes

B2pp 1270 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: A problem occurred during the IPL of a secondary partition running Linux. The partition cannot IPL because the primary partition must be in a full paging environment.

Recovery: IPL the primary partition past the Storage Management full paging IPL step.

Problem analysis procedure: Check the IPL mode of the primary partition and the failing secondary partition. If the primary partition is in C mode the logical partition will not IPL.

B2pp 6900 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: The size fo the secondary partition's kernel exceeds the size allocated for the load area by the secondary partition.

Recovery: Verify the size of the secondary partition's memory allocation is large enough to load the kernel. Ensure the kernel is correct.

Problem analysis procedure: Identify the values for words 3 and 4 to determine the cause of the error. The values for the words are as follows:

• Word 3: Allocated size of the secondary partition
• Word 4: Required size of the kernel

B2pp 6905 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: A problem occurred during the IPL of a secondary partition running Linux. The kernel is not valid for the specified IPL mode for the logical partition. The kernel is not available for the IPL mode.

Recovery: Verify that the kernel specified to load is valid and the IPL mode specified is where the kernel is located.

Problem analysis procedure: Check processor and memory allocations to the secondary partition. You should make sure there are enough functioning processors and memory resources in the server for the partition.

B2pp 6910 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: A problem occurred during the IPL of a secondary partition running Linux. A storage management problem occurred while loading the logical partition.

Recovery: Collect the detailed hexadecimal data from the server and contact your next level of support.

Problem analysis procedure: Check processor and memory allocations to the secondary partition. You should make sure there are enough functioning processors and memory resources in the server for the partition.

B2pp 6920 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: A problem occurred during the IPL of a secondary partition running Linux. A problem occurred while loading the logical partition.

Recovery: Collect the detailed hexadecimal data from the server and contact your next level of support.

Problem analysis procedure: Review the SRC history of the server.

B2pp 6930 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: A problem occurred during the IPL of a secondary partition running Linux. A problem occurred while loading the logical partition.

Recovery: Collect the detailed hexadecimal data from the server and contact your next level of support.

Problem analysis procedure: Check processor and memory allocations to the secondary partition. You should make sure there are enough functioning processors and memory resources in the server for the partition.

B2pp 8105 (pp equals the partition ID)

Cause: Initialization of secondary partition main storage data structures failed. The IPL is ended.

Recovery: This is likely a problem with the load source media being corrupt or invalid. Re-installation of the secondary partition is probably required to recover. If it continues to fail, contact your service provider.

Problem analysis procedure: Identify the reason code from word 13 of the SRC. The reason code value for word 13.
