7. When the service processor comes up to the Flexible Service Processor (FSP) standby state (the
power-on LED on the control panel is flashing slowly), continue to the next step.
8. Access the ASMI and run the Cable Plugging Validation utility to validate all of the cables.
a) If you are already connected to the ASMI, go to the next step. Otherwise, click All Systems then
select system being serviced. Then, click Actions > View All Actions > Launch Advanced
Systems Management (ASM).
b) In the navigation area, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, click
Validate Cables. The system verifies that the expected cables are present.
c) If your configuration includes two or more nodes, expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging
Validation. Then, click Verify Node Position. Otherwise, if your configuration includes only one
node, continue to the next step.
If the system is cabled correctly, the blue identify LED on each system node will light up, in
sequence, from the top node to the bottom node. If the LEDs do not light up in sequence, the FSP
cables need to be re-installed.
d) Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation. Then, select All of the above in the
Display Cable Status section and click Continue. The system validates that the cables are
installed in the correct locations. Expand System Service Aids > Cable Plugging Validation to
display a table with the results. Ensure that the plugging status is OK for each cable in the
displayed table. If the status is OK, no further action is required. If the status is not OK, review the
error logs, correct the problems, and repeat steps b, c and d as needed until the status is OK for
all cables.
e) Exit the ASMI.
9. If you replaced a PCIe3 x8 non-volatile memory SSD NVMe adapter and the logical partition that
controls the adapter is running the IBM i operating system, complete the following steps to prepare
the NVMe adapter for operation:
a) Start the IBM i System Service Tools (STRSST), and specify the user name and password.
b) On the System Service Tools (SST) display, select Work with disk units > Work with disk
configuration > Work with NVM Devices > Delete existing NVM Namespaces.
c) Select the device that you replaced.
d) Choose from the following options:
• If no namespaces are listed, press F12 to return to the SST main menu and continue with the
next step.
• If there are namespaces listed, complete the following steps:
1) Select 4=Delete Namespace for each of the listed namespaces.
2) Press F10 to confirm the deletion of the namespaces.
3) Press F12 to return to the SST main menu.
e) On the System Service Tools (SST) display, select Work with disk units > Work with disk
configuration > Work with NVM Devices > Create NVM Namespaces to pair with Active mirror
protected NVM units.
f) Select the NVMe device that you replaced.
g) On the Create NVM Namespaces - Show the Units Suspended from Mirror Protection display,
press F7 to select all of the suspended disk units.
h) Press F10 to confirm the creation of the listed namespaces that will be paired with the suspended
disk units.
Note: The operation will create new namespaces on the selected NVMe device, pair the new
namespaces with the suspended NVMe disk units, and start to resume mirror protection on the
newly created disk units.
i) Press F12 to return to the SST main menu.
