Clean up the server

After the new bus numbers have been reassigned to the correct partitions and all partitions turn on successfully in manual mode, remove the old I/O resources from the logical partition I/O resources.

1. Clear nonreporting logical partitioning resources by completing the following steps:
   1. Access dedicated service tools (DST) on the primary partition, with all secondary partitions active. Sign on to DST.
   2. From the DST main menu, select option 11 (Work with system partitions), and press Enter.
   3. From the primary partition's console, select option 4 (Recover configuration data).
   4. Select option 4 (Clear nonreporting logical partitioning resources), and press Enter.
   5. To confirm the deletion of nonreporting resources, press F10 (Clear nonreporting resources).
2. Stop. At this point the old bus numbers and IOPs should not be seen in the LPAR Configuration I/O Resource displays. If old bus numbers are still displayed, then repeat the previous step after verifying the following:
   • All i5/OS™ partitions are powered on and at DST or higher. This means that all partitions must be powered on and the IPL has stopped at a dedicated service tools (DST) or at the i5/OS sign-on display.
   • No partitions are displaying any system reference codes (SRCs) (a partition reporting a Failure/Attention SRC causes the clear nonreporting logical partitioning resources to fail).

   If old bus numbers or IOPs cannot be removed by following the procedure in step 1, contact IBM^® software support for assistance.

3. Change the secondary partitions from HOLD to the original state, changed in step 11 of the Document and prepare the server procedure. Do not restart the server at this time.
4. On the primary partition and each secondary partition, remove nonreporting hardware entries using the Hardware Service Manager (HSM). Identify and record hardware resources that are switched among partitions. If you have hardware resources on the converted expansion unit that are switched among partitions, you may need to reassign or rename these resources on each partition that uses these resources.
   1. From the DST main menu, select option 7 (Start a Service Tool), and press Enter.
   2. Select option 4 (Hardware Service Manager (HSM)) and press Enter.
   3. Select option 4 (Failed and nonreporting hardware resources) and press Enter.
   4. Use option 4 (Remove) to remove any failed or nonreporting resources. If you receive a message saying, No failed or nonreporting logical hardware resources found, skip to step 4.f.
      Attention: Any hardware problems must be resolved before continuing. I/O resources that are nonreporting because they are switched between partitions and currently are not owned by the partition you are working in should not be removed at this time. Careful planning is required when switched I/O is involved.
   5. Confirm removal of failed or nonreporting resources.
   6. If printing capabilities are available to you in DST, press F6 (Print) to print the system configuration list.
