- Log into the system
- Log into SST as QSECOFR
- Select option 1. Start a service tool
- Select option 7. Hardware service manager
- Select option 6. Work with service action log
- Select date range or enter *
- Locate the error and enter a 2 next to it to view it
- Here you can enter a 2 to display details
NOTE: Here is also where it lists the other names for the resource. Can be helpful when identifying it on the system.
- Now we can place a 6 next to the drive to identify it. This will turn the light on the drive amber.
- Select option 7 to turn the light off, just to make sure you have the right drive. (You can repeat this process as necessary to make sure you have the right drive)
NOTE: On this screen it lists the part location which can help to further identify where to look
- Select option 8 for Concurrent Maintenance
- Select option 1 to remove the drive (wait until the drive lights up or fast blinks before removing it — about 3 seconds). Then this screen will appear:
- Go back into the screens (it will kick you out to the action log date screen). Perform concurrent maintenance again and select option 2 to install the drive. (wait until the drive lights up or fast blinks before installing it — about 3 seconds). Then this screen will appear:
Rebuild the ASP (Disk Units)
- Go to the main screen for System Service Tools
- Select option 3. Work with disk units
- Select option 3. Work with disk unit recovery
- Select option 6. Rebuild disk unit data
- The drive you installed should show up here with the resource name being the same name that you saw earlier. Select option 1 rebuild
NOTE: Notice here how the Resource Name shows as DMP126 but in the action log it showed as DMP125. This is the other name for the resource that I highlighted earlier
- It will ask you to confirm, hit Enter to confirm
- The RAID will begin rebuilding
NOTE: It may showed failed but hit F5 to refresh and it should say Rebuilding. This occurs because it is showing the old drive/serial number at first.
- You can refresh again to make sure that it is progressing
- When it gets to 5% Rebuilt it is safe to say that the drive is good (this is what I was told by IBM techs)
NOTE: if you exit out of this screen and still want to see the progress on the rebuild follow these steps
- Go to Display Disk Configuration in SST
- Select option 5. Display device parity status
