6.9.2 Correcting the managed system operating state
If you find the following status, use these procedures to put the managed system back to a
correct state:
򐂰 No Connection state
򐂰 Incomplete state
򐂰 Recovery state
򐂰 Error state
No Connection state
In the No Connection state, the HMC is not connected, or the handshake with the managed
system failed. Perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the network setting is correctly set up on the HMC. You can verify this by
pinging the HMC.
2. Ensure that the network setting is correct on the managed system. Verify this by opening
an ASMI session through the web browser and pointing at the managed system.
3. Perform the reset or remove connection task on the HMC:
a. In the navigation area, select Server and Partition → Server Management.
b. In the Content area, right-click the managed system and select the Reset or Remove
Connection.
c. Select Reset Connection, then click OK.
d. Wait for 5 minutes for the HMC to re-establish contacts.
4. Check the control panel on the managed system to verify that the power is on.
a. If the power light indicates that there is no power on the managed system control
panel, then power on the managed system manually or with AMSI.
b. After the power is restored, wait 5 minutes for the service processor to re-IPL and the
HMC to re-establish contact. If the HMC can access partitions using a virtual terminal
(VTERM) but the state is still
No Connection, contact your next level of support or your
hardware service provider.
Error The operating system or the hardware of the managed system is
experiencing errors.
Error - Terminated Power On, Dump in progress.
CoD Click to Accept Power On, operational and waiting for CUoD. Click to Accept.
Powering Off Power Off in progress.
Standby The managed system is powered on using the Power on Standby option.
It will stay in this state until a partition or system profile is activated. You
can create and modify profiles while the managed system is in this state.
Incomplete The HMC failed to get all the information from the managed system.
No connection The HMC is not connected or the handshake with the managed system
failed.
Recovery The save area in the Service Processor is not synchronized with the HMC.
