Did you deactivate the lpar? The icon on the hmc. ----- Original Message ----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> Sent: Wed Nov 04 16:26:57 2009 Subject: Re: I/O gen problems
So I think I got that... when I try to do a load after a dynamic update to hardware and software, the io devices are loaded from HSA. I have validated that the channels are online and sharable. I have validated that the io devices are assigned to all lpars. The one funny thing though is when I looked at the CU via the I/O configuration utility I saw a parm that said something like SHARED=N. I cant seem to find this parm any ware in CU definitions in HCD. On the production side, the purpose of the IODF update was to add vtl devices. That device was installed today and the chpid, cu, and devices all worked perfectly. A little further down the path... I validated the new IODF against the target system partition DEVL and sure enough device 1500,170 on chp(20) cu 1500 is there in the i/o path list. There is no wait state being generated, the process can't get to past the load address. Hmmm, any more thoughts? Agh, it is only test and devl, I don't need those anyway, maybe I should just give up! I will gladly provide any screen shots of the components if you thing that will help.

It is used to load the hardware definition into the HSA. When you perform a hardware activate, that updates the HSA with the information from the IODF. When you perform a software activation, that updates the UCB's in the operating system that you run the software activate under. When you IPL, the IODF is read to load the UCB's for the specified OS configuration into the LPAR. You have said that the device is defined in the IODF. Is it defined to the test LPAR? When you define a device, you also define which LPAR(s) can use it. Check the device, control unit and channels. Are the channel defined as shared or dedicated? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
