6. Is the I/O card capable of supporting the devices attached, or is it in the correct mode to support the
devices attached?
Note: For information on I/O card modes, see Storage I/O card modes and jumpers.
v Yes: Do you want to continue using these devices with this I/O card?
– Yes: Continue with the next step.
– No: Remove the devices from the I/O card. See Start disk service here.
Note: You can remove disk units without installing another disk unit, and the system continues to
operate.
This ends the procedure.
v No: Either change the I/O card mode or remove the devices from the I/O card. See Start disk
service here.
Note: You can remove disk units without installing other disk units and the system continues to
operate.
This ends the procedure.
7. Initialize and format the disk units.
Attention: Data on the disk unit will be lost.
Perform the following:
a. Access SST or DST. See Dedicated Service Tools (DST) in the iSeries Service Functions
information.
b. Select Work with disk units.
Did you get to DST with a Type D IPL?
v Yes: Continue with the next step.
v No: Select Work with disk unit recovery —> Disk unit problem recovery procedures. Then,
continue with the next step.
c. Select Initialize and format disk unit for each disk unit. When the new disk unit is initialized and
formatted, the display shows that the status is complete. This may take 30 minutes or longer. The
disk unit is now ready to be added to the system configuration.
This ends the procedure.
SDIOP-PIP26: For use by authorized service providers.
Use this procedure to correct the problem when the I/O card recognizes that the attached disk unit must
be initialized and formatted.
You were sent to this procedure from URC 9092.
1. If the system has logical partitions, perform this procedure from the logical partition that reported the
problem. To determine if the system has logical partitions, go to Determine if the system has logical
partitions, before continuing with this procedure.
2. Have any other I/O card or device SRCs occurred at about the same time as this error?
v No: Has the I/O card, or have the devices been repaired or reconfigured recently?
– Yes: Continue with the next step.
– No: Contact your next level of support for assistance.
This ends the procedure.
v Yes: Use the other I/O card or device SRCs to correct the problem. See the System reference
codes.
This ends the procedure.
3. Access SST/DST by doing one of the following:
v If you can enter a command at the console, access system service tools (SST). See System
Service Tools (SST) in the iSeries
