(B2xxxxxx) Logical partition reference codes
For use by service providers.
When the server posts these SRCs, you can find them in the Serviceable Event View or the view that you use to see informational logs (such as the Product Activity Log or ASM).
Characters 3 and 4 of word 1 are the partition ID of the logical partition with the problem.
- The SRCs on this page are from the Power Systems hardware documentation, and the Descriptions apply to a single CEC enclosure or I/O enclosure. The Action and Failing Item fields are modified as appropriate for DS8000® architecture and repair methods.
- SRCs missing from the following tables might be found on the Power Systems online documentation. You can use the SRC description
as is
to define the problem. Do not use the Action and Failing Item without contacting the next level of support first. - To display the Power Systems hardware
online documentation, go to the Web site http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/.

| SRC | Description/Action | Failing Item |
|---|---|---|
| B2xx1150 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. This is a partitioning configuration problem. The LPARCFG Symbolic FRU will help correct the problem. If the problem persists, call your next level of support. |
LPARCFG |
| B2xx1225 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. The partition attempted to IPL prior to the platform fully initializing. Retry the partition IPL after the platform IPL has fully completed and the platform is not in power off state. If that IPL fails, call your next level of support. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1230 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. This is a partitioning configuration problem. The partition is lacking the necessary resources to IPL. This error might occur when you shut down a partition that is set to automatically IPL and then turn the managed system off and back on. When the partition automatically IPLs, it uses the resources specified in PHYP NVRAM, and this error occurs when the server does not find the exact resources specified in NVRAM. The solution is to activate the partition by using the partition profile on the HMC. The HMC applies the values in the profile to NVRAM. When the partition IPLs, it uses the resources specified in the profile. |
LPARCFG |
| B2xx1260 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition identified in the xx field of the B2xx SRC could not IPL at the Timed Power On setting because the IPL setting of the partition was not set to Normal. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1265 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition identified in the xx field of the B2xx SRC could not IPL. An operating system MSD IPL was attempted with the IPL side on D-mode. This is not a valid operating system IPL scenario, and the IPL will be halted. This SRC is usually seen when a D-mode SLIC install fails and attempts an MSD. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1266 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition identified in the xx field of the B2xx SRC could not IPL. You are attempting to IPL an operating system that is not supported. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1310 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. No alternate (D-mode) IPL IOP was selected. The IPL will attempt to continue, but there might not be enough information to find the correct D-mode load source. Have the customer configure an alternate IPL IOP for the partition. Then retry the partition IPL. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1320 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. No default load source IOP was selected for an A/B-mode IPL. The IPL will attempt to continue, but there might not be enough information to find the correct load source. Have the customer configure a load source IOP for the partition. Then retry the partition IPL. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1321 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. The IOA for the load source device needed an IOP, and none was detected. Check your LPAR config and make sure the correct slot is specified for the IPL load source. Then retry the partition IPL. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx1322 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. During the partition IPL, code tried to determine if the device in a slot was an I/O Processor or an I/O Adapter. That check failed. Check your LPAR configuration and make sure that the correct slot is specified for the IPL load source. Then retry the partition IPL. If this does not resolve the problem, perform LICIP01. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx2250 | A problem occurred during the IPL of a partition. The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. A slot that was needed for the partition was unavailable. See the Symbolic FRU SLOTUSE for more information on the cause of this error. |

A slot that was needed for the partition was either empty or the device in the slot has failed. See the Symbolic FRU for more information on the cause of this error. If you have a RAID enablement card (CCIN 5709) on your system, it will disable an embedded SCSI adapter. If that embedded slot is called out in the error, you can safely ignore this error. |
SLOTUSE |

If word 3 is zero, and then this SRC is informational and can be ignored. Otherwise there is a problem in the platform LIC. A nonzero bus number has no associated bus object. Look for B700 69xx errors in the Serviceable Event View and work those errors. If there are no serviceable B700 69xx errors, or if correcting the errors did not correct this problem, contact your next level of support. |

The load source IOP is not owned by the partition. This is a configuration problem in the partition. Have the customer re-configure the partition to have the intended load source IOP. If there is not a configuration problem then contact your next level of support. |
SVCDOCS |
| B2xx3200 | System log entry only, no service action
required The partition ID is characters 3 and 4 of the B2xx reference code in word 1 of the SRC. Look for a SRC in the Serviceable Event View logged at the time the partition was performing an IPL.

If a B2xx3110 error is logged, a B2xx3200 might be posted to the control panel. Work the B2xx3110 error in the Serviceable Event View. If the system IPL hangs at B2xx3200 and you cannot check the SRC history, perform the actions indicated for the B2xx3110 SRC. |
