(C7xxxxxx) Server firmware IPL status progress codes

This section describes the (C7xxxxxx) server firmware IPL status progress codes.

A server that stalls during an initial program load (IPL) of the hypervisor indicates a problem with the server firmware code. In this case, your only service action is to contact your next level of support. If the problem is in the server firmware code, exchanging any hardware FRU will not fix the problem.

Server firmware IPL status progress codes enable you and next level of support to more easily identify the server firmware component causing the problem.

Table 1 uses the following format to list the server firmware IPL status progress codes:
  • The first column, Progress code, contains characters that represent a particular action your server performs during initialization of OS/400®.
  • The second column, Description/Action, identifies the action or procedure that produced the progress code.

For more information about using progress codes, see Using progress codes.

For more information about the meaning of the progress codes, see the notes following Table 1.

Table 1. (C7xxxxxx) Server firmware IPL status progress codes
Progress code Description/Action
C700xxxx Service processor initialization phase.
C70040xx Early IPL initialization phase.
Notes:
  1. During the IPL of the server firmware, progress codes display on the control panel. The first progress code is C700xxxx, which indicates the service processor has finished initializing without detecting any problems. At this point, the server firmware code takes over and initializes server firmware components. When the server fails to proceed and the control panel displays C700xxxx, the source of the problem is the IPL server firmware code.
  2. After the server firmware starts to initialize other components, the control panel displays the IPL status progress codes. The progress codes all use the following format: C70040xx, where the xx is an increment counter that is not related to the specific component being initialized.
In server firmware IPL status progress codes, the third and fourth words indicate the affected component. Table 2 uses the following format to list the component code and the possible subcomponents in the hypervisor IPL status progress codes:
  • The first column, Component code, is word three of the server firmware IPL status progress code.
  • The second column, Associated component, is word four of the server firmware IPL status progress code. The associated component is the subcomponent code that the component (identified by the component code) might or might not use.
