information by recognizing that these errors repeat, and by filtering them into one
serviceable event. To keep the SFP running we need an Ethernet or virtual
Ethernet connection from the HMC to each LPAR.
The options available under Service Focal Point are as follows:
Repair serviceable event
Manage serviceable events
Install/add/remove hardware
Replace parts
Service utilities
Repair serviceable event
This option allows the user or the service representative to view a serviceable
event and then initiate a repair against that service event. The following is an
example of the steps taken to view an event and initiate a repair.
The Service Focal Point is a system infrastructure on the HMC that manages
serviceable event information for the system building blocks. It includes resource
managers that monitor and record information about different objects in the
system. It is designed to filter and correlate events from the resource managers
and initiate a call to the service provider when appropriate. It also provides a user
interface that allows a user to view the events and perform problem
determination.
