With the 4.3 version of the hmc, it is not on the partition but on the server that you do this operation. In the properties of the server (and not of the partition) there is now a field named "Service partition" where we give the name of the partition that have the authority

Other information : Ibm P570 with an hmc current system firmware SF220_051 the installation with the hmc doesn't work

Error : This partition does not have authority to performe the requested operation When : installation of microcode update firmware (update_flash -f /tmp/fwupdate...) Question : why ? Remark : this partition has the "Service Partition" option so it should be ok

At first the cdrom have to be "desired" (not required) by all partitions example if you want to move cdrom from partition P1 to partition P2 : On P1 : #lsdev -Cc cdrom (note the scsi adress ex : 06-08) #lsdev -C | grep 06-08 (note the scsi controller ex : sisscsia1) #lsslot -c slot (look for...

what have you got with this command : fuser -c /dev/hd3 (and not /tmp)

You said "The funny thing is that sometimes I try to telnet and I get in right away." Maybe the pb is this one : 2 serves with the same ip adress ?... sometimes the 2nd server is up, sometimes not... Recently I'had this pb with a very old Pc that was always off, but one day a user has started...

Physically there are 4 processors, but maybe you only have "bought" one... On my P570 I have 8 processors but only 4 are available because we only have "bought" 4. If we want to add 1 or 2 or more we have to use the CUOD...

Have you got a hmc ? How many processors the hcm can see ? How many logical partitions have you got ? What is the processor parameters of the partitions ?

I think there is an invalid route between the 2 servers. I've had this problem with dynamic route. What is the result of the commande "netstat -r" on the 2 servers. Perhaps there is a dumy route in one of the 2 servers.

How has he deleted the vg ? What command has he used ? The VG has only one disk ? Il the hdisk is ok, you can try this : # importvg -y VG1 hdisk#

Right click on the server (not on a partition) and select properties It's ok for my hmc with power5 server.

We also have similar pb on our P570 : when we execute the "shutdown -Fr" command, the partiton shuts down but don't reboot... I'm waiting for to obtain from Ibm a new microcode level.

I have the same Aix cdrom date 11/2004. Funny method (not ibm supported): # mount /cdrom # ls -1 /cdrom .Version 5200-04 OSLEVEL RPMS bosinst.data image.data installp ppc root usr 5200-04 = 5.2.0.0 ML 4 this is not the best method but...

Yes we have used this method too, but we always get the same error message... P5 = Problems x 5 ?

We are trying to update our microcode but we can't do it. Error message : "The operation failed due to an internal code failure ACT01724" The update operation is made from the hmc ("licensed internal Code Updates" option). We are in relation with Ibm for this operation.
