Failed and non-reporting resources
The Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option appears on the Hardware
Service Manager display when the system is in the full or limited paging
environment. It allows you to display a list of the logical hardware resources that
either failed or did not report to the system at the last IPL.
Note: To view location information and display a list of the packaging hardware
resources that either failed or did not report at the last IPL, select the
Associated packaging resource(s) option on the Failed and Non-Reporting
Logical Hardware Resources display.
A failed resource that reports to the system at the time of the IPL might have a
problem with its operation. On the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware
Resources display, Failed appears in the Status column to indicate a failed resource.
The failed resources appear at the top of the list.
A non-reporting resource does not report to the system at the time of the IPL. On
the Failed and Non-Reporting Logical Hardware Resources display, a question
mark symbol (?) appears next to the resource description field to indicate a
non-reporting resource. The status of a non-reporting resource is Unknown.
Note: For more information on symbols, see Symbols on the Hardware Service
Manager displayson page 93.
A failed or non-reporting resource indicates that one of the following has occurred:
v The resource was removed from the system (non-reporting only).
v The resource was powered off at the time of the IPL.
v There is a problem in the signal path between the system and the device.
v There is a resource failure.
Selecting the Failed and non-reporting hardware resources option is a quick way to
display failed and non-reporting resources on the system. For information on other
ways to display failed and non-reporting resources, see Display failed resources
on page 70 or Display non-reporting resourceson page 71.
