Applied ML 10 to 7013-J30 got Problems

[wpdavids]

To all of you out there:

I applied ML 10 to my 7013-J30 server running 4.3.3 aix. The server did not have any maintenance applied and I decided to go to ML10.. Well ... after applying ML10 the box would not boot and got a 80c error. Which pertains to a 4 port SSA adapter problem. When I rebooted without the SSA 7133-600 the box boots with no problems. What I eventually did was reject the ML10 software and rebooted. The system worked and was able to access the SSA drives.

Is there a problem with ML 10 and the 7013-J30?

Thanx,
Bill

And have you applied the latest microcode for your hardware?

Unixtechie,

I would say that the micro code is out of date on this server. Do you know what microcode should be on this server?

thanks,

Bill

you need to download inventory scout and upload the file to ibm to run against heir db.

It could be a problem with the microcode for the server, the SSA adapter, the ssa enclosure or the ssa disks.

Here's the main page for microcode downloads:
