Understand and debug your NWSD error messages.
You could encounter error messages when you try to vary on a Linux partition. These error messages will appear if you provide information when you create your NWSD that does not apply to a logical partition running on the server. All error messages related to the NWSD should appear in QSYSOPR indicating a description of the problem and a resolution to the issue.
| Reason codes | Code explanation |
|---|---|
| 00000001 | *NWSSTG was specified as the IPL source, but no storage space was found. |
| 00000002 | The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter was not found. |
| 00000003 | The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter is not a GUEST partition. |
| 00000004 | There is already an NWSD in the i5/OS® partition that is active and using the partition specified in the PARTITION parameter of the NWSD. |
| 00000005 | The partition specified in the PARTITION parameter of the NWSD is turned on (perhaps through the LPAR configuration interface or from another i5/OS partition.) |
| 00000006 | The partition is set to start from a stream file (stmf) and for some reason that didn't work. You should note that the user performing the vary on need read access to the IPL STMF parameter. |
| 00000007 | The NWSD is set to start from a storage space (NWSSTG), but for some reason the kernel could not found. Some common reasons are no type 0x41 partition or not marked startable. |
| 00000008 | The partition would not start. There are a variety of reasons why the partition will not start. You could have a corrupt kernel or the processor feature code does not support the shared processor pool. If the kernel and processor are not the problem, you need to look at the information for this partition and start reviewing the SRCs. |
| 00000009 | The partition identified as the logical partition is not configured. To select a host partition, use the Work with Partition Status display and press F11 (Work with partition configuration). From the Partition Configuration display, select option 13 next to the partition to assign the partition a host. |
| 00000010 | Contact your next level of support to find a proper solution to the problem. |
| 00000011 | |
| 00000080 | |
| 00001088 | The kernel does not appear to be valid. This error is frequently caused if you do not FTP the kernel in binary mode. |
| 00001089 | |
| 0000108A | |
| 0000108B | The kernel does not appear to be compatible with the version of i5/OS in the primary partition. |
| 0000108C | |
| 000010A3 | There is an insufficient amount of processors assigned to the partition or there are not enough shared processors available. |
| 000010A9 | |
| 000010AA | |
| 000010A4 | There is an insufficient amount of memory available for the partition. |
| 000010A5 | |
| 000010AE | This error will occur on servers that only support dedicated processors when either you have specified a shared processor for a Linux partition or you have the QPRCMLTTSK server value set to 1. |
