C5xxxxxx IPL status progress codes

This section describes the C5xxxxxx IPL status progress codes.

For use by service providers.

If a server stalls during an initial program load (IPL) of the operating system, it indicates a problem with the operating system code or hardware configuration. In this case, your only service action is to call your next level of support. If the problem is in the operating system code or hardware configuration, exchanging any hardware FRU will not fix the problem.

Table 1 contains reference information that gives a quick overview of the C5xxxxxx IPL status progress codes and the function associated with each. Please note that at points multiple tasks may be happening at the same time, so the progress code on the panel may not reflect the code module having problems. The mode of the IPL (A, B, or D) determines, in part, which status SRCs are displayed.

The table of C5xxxxxx IPL status progress codes uses the following format:
  • The Progress code column contains characters that represent a particular action your server performs during initialization of the supported operating system.
  • The Description/Action column identifies the action or procedure that produced the progress code.
