Bus Pip Hsl-05; Bus Pip Hsl-06 - IBM iSeries Series Hardware Problem Analysis And Isolation

5. Is the connection an optical link?
v No: Wait at least 30 seconds, and then continue with the next step.
v Yes: Clean the HSL cable connector and port using the tools and procedures listed in symbolic FRU
"OPT_CLN" on page 407. Then, continue with the next step.
6. Reconnect the cable to the port. You must fully connect the cable and tighten the connector's screws
within 30 seconds of when the cable makes contact with the port. Otherwise, the link will fail and you
must disconnect and reconnect the cable again. If the connector screws are not tightened, errors will
occur on the link and it will fail.
7. Refresh the port status by doing the following:
a. Wait 1 minute.
b. Select Cancel —> Refresh —> Display detail for the failing resource.
8. Then, determine if the link has become "operational" by repeating steps 1 (See page 85) through 7 a
second time.
Bus PIP HSL-05: For use by authorized service providers.
Bus PIP HSL-05, Use HSM to record the configuration and status of the loop.
1. Make a copy of the HSL loop configuration and status form. You will be directed to fill in specific areas
of the table. Fill in the HSL loop number directly above the table.
2. Sign on to SST or DST.
3. Select Start a service tool —> Hardware service manager —> Logical hardware resources —>
High-speed link (HSL) resources.
4. Select Include non-reporting resources. Move the cursor to the HSL loop that you want to examine,
and select Display detail. The display that appears shows the port status of the Network Interface
Controller (NIC) for the loop that you selected.
5. Fill in the System and Loop Number in the heading of the HSL Loop Configuration and Status Form. In
the first row of the table, fill in the following:
v Resource Type: Located under the HSL Loop Number. Either HSL I/O Bridge resource (if the type is
Bridge) or HSL Loop resource (if the type is NIC) will be listed.
v Resource Name: Located in the top section of the information.
v Status and Port information for both the leading and trailing port (to/from the next resource).
6. Select F8 to move to the next resource in the HSL Loop. Record the same information you recorded in
the previous step in the next row of the table. Continue to select F8 and record loop resource
information until you arrive at the resource you started with (the resource name will match the one in
the first row).
7. Determine the Frame ID for any resources with a failed link on either the Leading Port or the Trailing
Port:
a. Exit back to the Work with high-speed link (HSL) resources display.
b. Move the cursor to the loop you are working on and select Resources associated with the loop.
c. Move the curser to the resource name you need to investigate. Select Associated Packaging
Resources. The Frame ID will be given on that display.
8. When you have recorded the resource information for the loop and determined the frames with failed
ports, return to the procedure that sent you here.
This ends the procedure.
Bus PIP HSL-06: For use by authorized service providers.
Bus PIP HSL-06, Use HSM to examine the HSL Loop to determine if other systems are connected to the
loop.
1. Sign on to SST or DST (if you have not already done so).
