injury.  
CAUTION notices warn you of conditions or procedures that can cause personal injury that is neither  
lethal nor extremely hazardous.  
Each notice contains a reference number (SPSFXXXX) which you can use to help find a specific notice in  
other languages.  
Danger notices  
DANGER  
Do not attempt to open the covers of the power supply. Power supplies are not serviceable and  
are to be replaced as a unit. (SPSFD001)  
DANGER  
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of  
the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to  
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.  
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit  
and all attached devices are unplugged.  
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system, ensure that the power  
cables for those devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible,  
disconnect all power cables from the existing system before you add a device.  
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to prevent a possible  
shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical potentials.  
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers, telephones, or  
station protectors for communications lines. (SPSFD002)  
DANGER  
In the U.S., Canada, and Japan, this product has a 4-wire power cable with a 4-prong plug. Use  
this power cable with a correctly grounded power receptacle to prevent possible electric shock.

v The customer’s branch distribution circuit breakers (customer power source circuit breakers)  
are off and tagged with DO NOT OPERATE tags, S229-0237 (or national language equivalent).  
v The activities in ″Performing the Customer 50/60 Hz Power Receptacle Safety Check″ have  
been performed on all customer power source outlets and cable connectors. (SPSFD015)  
DANGER  
Ensure that the customer’s branch distribution circuit breakers (customer power source circuit  
breakers) to the ac power outlets are off and tagged with DO NOT OPERATE tags, S229-0237 (or  
national language equivalent). (SPSFD016)  
DANGER  
Both the SEPBU power chassis and the PDU 48 V dc power chassis are field replaceable units  
(FRUs) which contain NO serviceable parts; they are labeled as such. Do not attempt to isolate  
or repair these components, since doing so may result in severe injury or even death.  
(SPSFD017)  
Caution notices  
CAUTION:  
The weight of the PDU assembly, 48 V dc power chassis, and the SEPBU power chassis is greater  
than 18 Kg (40 lbs). Be careful when removing or installing. Remove all 48 V dc power supplies  
from the power chassis before removing or installing the power chassis. (SPSFC001)

Switch description and problem determination (MAP 0590)  
Purpose of this MAP  
This MAP describes the components of the SP Switch2 fabric and provides a table (Table 1-1 on page 1-5)  
containing diagnostic information.  
Each SP Switch2 has the following components:  
v Switch interposer cards  
– One per occupied switch port  
– Connects the SP Switch2 to a switch adapter mounted in processor node  
v SP Switch2 adapter  
– Installed in processor nodes  
– Connects processor node to SP Switch2  
Note: Systems equipped with the SP Switch2 require SP Switch2 adapters. This switch cannot  
connect to the SP Switch MX2 adapter.  
v Switch supervisor  
v Switch power cable  
v Switch wrap plugs:  
– To test systems using SP Switch2 interposer cards and adapters, use male and female wrap plugs  
- Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 1-5  
v Interposer wrap card:  
– Used to test the SP Switch2 interposer interface  
- Refer to “SP Switch2 assembly (view 2)” on page 5-4 for the interposer wrap card part number  
v Switch data cables (two types):  
– Internal to the frame  
– External data cables (multi-frame only)  
Attention: Switch data plug and jack connector pins are easily bent. Check for bent pins on male plugs  
or bent pin guides on female jacks if a cable is difficult to plug. Problems with bent pins or pin guides can  
propagate to new plugs and jacks if not corrected first.

Step 0590-001  
Read the following warning and then follow steps to ensure continuity of customer’s jobs in the queue.  
Attention: Servicing a processor node or switch assembly will interrupt customer usage of the processor  
node and the remainder of the switch network. If the switch feature must be replaced in a multi-frame  
system, refer to “Removing and restoring switch resources” on page 3-9, for information on isolating the  
switch assembly.  
Attention: It is possible that the SP Switch2 cabling has been modified from recommended or  
documented configurations. Any connector jack numbers will be correct as reported by system programs,  
so tracing cables from the jack may be necessary.  
It may be necessary for the customer to complete all active parallel jobs or jobs using switch interface (for  
example, tape B/U ADSM), then remove the switch feature from the active configuration. Refer to  
“Removing and restoring switch resources” on page 3-9, for these procedures.  
Step 0590-002  
Determine the condition of the switch by viewing its LEDs and the information displayed in Perspectives.  
Then refer to Table 1-1 on page 1-5 for a prioritized list of conditions. Find the first condition that describes  
your problem, then perform the associated action.  
Step 0590-003  
Check for errors indicating environmental problems with the switch feature. These can be viewed by  
issuing the appropriate command from the control workstation:  
v errpt -a -N sphwlog | pg

Step 0595-001  
Perspectives indicates that a power problem exists and the yellow LED on the SP Switch2 supervisor is  
On and it is not flashing.  
1. Perform the “SP Switch2 supervisor self-test” on page 3-6.  
v While the test is running, compare the LED conditions on the supervisor with those listed in  
“Self-test Conditions” on page 3-7.  
2. Did the supervisor pass the self-test?  
v If yes, go to “Step 0595-002”.  
v If no, go to “Step 0595-003”.  
Step 0595-002  
The supervisor passed the self-test. This indicates that the self-test may have reset the supervisor  
processor and you need to determine if the problem has been cleared.  
1. Refresh Perspectives.  
2. Power on the switch.  
3. Does Perspectives indicate that the original problem is still present or that a new problem is occurring?  
v If yes, return to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide.  
v If no, go to the End of call procedures (MAP 0650) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide.  
Step 0595-003  
The SP Switch2 supervisor failed the self-test therefore, you need to analyze the LED conditions you  
observed during the self-test.  
1. Did the green and yellow supervisor LEDs light?  
v If yes, go to “Step 0595-005”.  
v If no, go to “Step 0595-004”.  
Step 0595-004  
Both green and yellow supervisor LEDs did not light during the self-test.  
1. Check the supervisor LEDs on the nodes connected to the same supervisor cable as the switch.  
2. Are any other supervisor LEDs lit?  
v If yes:  
a. Replace the switch supervisor.  
b. Go to “Step 0595-008” on page 1-8.  
v If no, go to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide and troubleshoot the  
supervisory bus system.  
Step 0595-005  
The switch supervisor failed the self-test. However, during the self-test the green and yellow LEDs on the  
supervisor did light.  
1. Did the yellow LED flash the wrong address or was it on steady after the self-test completed?  
v If the yellow LED flashed the wrong address, go to “Step 0595-006” on page 1-8.  
v If the yellow LED was on steady after the self-test, go to “Step 0595-007” on page 1-8.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Switch supervisor communications (MAP 0595)  
Step 0595-006  
The supervisor self-test failed because the yellow LED flashed the wrong address.  
1. Make certain that the correct supervisor harness connector is plugged into the supervisor.  
2. Is the correct harness plugged in?  
v If yes, go to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide and troubleshoot the  
supervisory bus system.  
v If no:  
a. Plug in the correct supervisor connector.  
b. Return to “Step 0590-002” on page 1-4 and confirm the original conditions.  
Step 0595-007  
The supervisor self-test failed because the yellow LED was on steady. This indicates that the supervisor is  
operating with base code only and needs to have the correct application code loaded.  
Note: If the replacement supervisor card is new or it has the wrong application code, the self-test will fail  
at the last step and the yellow LED will remain on.  
1. Perform the SP Switch2 Base code verification procedure on 3-8.  
2. Based on the information returned from the Base code verification, perform the procedure for  
“Updating the SP Switch2 supervisor code” on page 3-8.  
3. After updating the supervisor code, perform the “SP Switch2 supervisor self-test” on page 3-6.  
4. Does the supervisor pass the self-test?  
v If yes, go to “Step 0595-010”.  
v If no, go to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide and troubleshoot the  
supervisory bus system.  
Step 0595-008  
You replaced an SP Switch2 supervisor card.  
1. Reconnect the supervisor harness to the connector at the back of the SP Switch2.  
v Reconnecting the harness initiates the supervisor self-test.  
2. Do the green and yellow LEDs light?  
v If yes, go to “Step 0595-009”.  
v If no, go to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide and troubleshoot the  
supervisory bus system.  
Step 0595-009  
You replaced a supervisor card and the green and yellow LEDs lit during the self-test.  
1. Rerun the “SP Switch2 supervisor self-test” on page 3-6.  
v While the test is running, compare the LED conditions on the supervisor with those listed in the  
″Self-test Conditions″ table.  
2. Did the supervisor pass the self-test?  
v If yes, go to “Step 0595-002” on page 1-7.  
v If no, go to “Step 0595-003” on page 1-7.  
Step 0595-010  
1. Refresh Perspectives  
2. Power on the switch.  
3. Does Perspectives indicate that the problem is still present?  
v If yes, return to the Start MAP (0100) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide.  
v If no, go to the End of call procedures (MAP 0650) in the RS/6000 SP: System Service Guide.

Switch environment (MAP 0600)  
Purpose of this MAP  
This MAP provides diagnostic information for switch problems that are related to the operating  
environment.  
Note: Refer to “Service position procedures” on page 3-10 for placing a switch into the service position or  
for removing the switch from the service position.  
Step 0600-001  
A switch environmental problem has been detected.  
1. You have observed either:  
v The yellow switch supervisor LED is on or flashing  
v Perspectives switch environmental indicator is yellow or red  
v Errpt message stating,“Warning”, “Shutdown”, or “Failure”  
2. If:  
v The yellow switch supervisor LED is on, or the Perspectives environmental indicator is yellow, or  
the Errpt message states “Warning”, go to “Step 0600-002”.  
v The yellow switch supervisor LED is flashing, or the Perspectives environmental indicator is red, or  
the Errpt message states “Shutdown” or “Failure”, go to “Step 0600-003”.  
Step 0600-002  
You received a switch environment “Warning”.  
1. Does this same message occur on other switches or on any processor nodes mounted in the same  
frame as this switch?  
v If yes, call the next level of support.  
v If no, verify that the customer is not experiencing problems with this switch.  
– If no problems are being experienced, or this is an N+1 fan or power supply failure, then no  
immediate service is required, and service can be deferred until a later date.  
– If problems are being experienced, and the customer will allow power on service, service can be  
performed now by treating the problem as an Errpt message of “Shutdown” or “Failure” and  
going to “Step 0600-003”.  
Step 0600-003  
A critical power or environmental problem has been detected and the switch has logically powered off.  
1. If service action has just been completed on this switch, check for loose cables or shorted conditions.  
2. Record the locations of all failing FRUs (multiple FRUs may be reported).  
Note: Fans are N+1 devices; two fans off will power off the SP Switch2. Power Supplies are N+2;  
three power supplies off will power off the SP Switch2. Therefore, fix all fan problems before  
troubleshooting power supply problems.  
3. Power off the switch using the rear 48 V circuit breaker. Remember to turn on the circuit breaker when  
the repair has been completed.  
4. Based on the text of the message, use the information in Table 1-3 to continue service.

Switch Function (MAP 0620)  
v If no, go to “Step 0620-019”.  
Step 0620-019  
Some but not all switch data cables appear to be having problems.  
1. Depending on whether the problem is a wrapped port or a switch-to-switch connection, perform one  
of the following steps:  
v Wrapped port (wrap plug installed): Remove the existing wrap plug. Install a different wrap plug on  
the interposers indicated.  
v Switch-to-switch connection: Disconnect the switch data cable from both ports indicated. Install  
wrap plugs on the interposers indicated.  
Note: When unplugging the two ends of the suspect cable, check  
/var/adm/SPlogs/css0/p0/out.top to verify only two (2) ports were lost. If four (4) ports were  
lost, then two cables were swapped across that switch to switch connection. Connect the  
cables correctly and check /var/adm/SPlogs/css0/p0/out.top for any other errors.  
2. Make sure processor nodes that were put in “Service” mode are returned to “Normal” mode. Make  
sure all processor nodes are IPLed completely.  
3. Have customer verify that the switch code is running on all processor nodes.  
4. From the control workstation, type Estart followed by ENTER.  
5. Check /var/adm/SPlogs/css0/p0/out.top file for problems regarding the interposers indicated.  
6. Does out.top file show a problem on any interposers indicated?  
v If yes:  
a. Problem is in the switch assembly which is still reporting a problem.  
b. Go to “Step 0620-020” to service or replace the switch assembly.  
v If no:  
a. If this is a switch-to-switch connection, remove both wrap plugs from the switch assemblies.  
b. Replace the frame-to-frame switch data cable that was disconnected before.  
c. Go to “Step 0620-021” to verify fix.  
Step 0620-020  
You have determined that there is a problem in the switch assembly and that you need to replace the  
switch assembly.  
Note: Before taking this action, contact the next level of support. They will be able to advise you about  
system availability options that may allow the customer to continue operating.  
1. Replace the switch planar.  
v Refer to “Removing the switch planar” on page 4-7 and “Replacing the switch planar” on page 4-8  
2. Go to “Step 0620-021”.  
Step 0620-021  
You have replaced switch components and need to verify that the problem has been fixed.  
1. Make sure any processor nodes that were put in SERVICE mode are returned to NORMAL mode.  
Make sure all processor nodes are IPLed completely in NORMAL mode.  
2. If any processor nodes lost connection to the switch due to unplugging node data cable, you will need  
to include them in the following command. From the control workstation, enter:  
dsh -w  
nodelist /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch  
where nodelist is a list of node names separated by commas.  
Note: When working with a two-plane SP Switch2 system, add the adapter name to the command, as  
follows: dsh -w nodelist /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch -a <adapter_name>  
OR, if all processor nodes have lost switch connection, enter:

Note: When working with a two-plane SP Switch2 system, add the adapter name to the command, as  
follows: dsh -a /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch -a <adapter_name>  
Example:  
dsh -w fr2n03,fr2n04,fr3n01 /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch  
Attention: Issuing this command on processor nodes that did not lose a connection may cause  
unpredictable results.  
3. Have customer start the switch code from the control workstation by entering:  
Estart  
4. Check /var/adm/SPlogs/css0/p0/out.top file on the primary node.

SP Switch2 data cables  
Naming standard for RS/6000 SP components  
The purpose of this section is to define a naming standard for all components in the RS/6000 SP system.  
This standard provides a consistent, logical naming convention system necessary for documentation  
including details, assembly drawings, schematics, manufacturing documents, service documents, and  
customer publications.  
Format structure  
The RS/6000 SP system is structured in a modular fashion with different levels of assembly which can be  
independently described. These levels are:  
1. System level  
2. Frame level  
3. Major assembly level (e.g. processor node).  
4. Sub-Assembly level (e.g. cards, fan assembly).  
The format structure is used to individually identify any connection location at any level in the assembly.  
The main use of this format is to describe connector, cabling, and schematic locations shown in tables and  
diagrams throughout this manual.  
Example of format structure  
Format: FRAME(WWW) - MAJOR ASSEMBLY(XXX) - SUBASSEMBLY(YY) - CONNECTOR NUMBER (ZZZZ)  
Frame (WWW)  
v 1st character is the frame type:  
– E for RS/6000 SP frame  
– L for logical RS/6000 SP frame (used for models 30X and 40X)  
– S for multi-switch frame  
– C for control workstation  
– Z for another frame such as a server  
v 2nd and 3rd characters are the frame number:  
– 00 for any/all frames (designates location inside any/all frames)  
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000, 2002

2-1  
 
– 01 - 99 for frames 1-99 (specific to that frame)  
Notes:  
1. E01 designates RS/6000 SP physical frame 1  
2. L00 designates any/all RS/6000 SP logical frames  
3. S00 designates any/all RS/6000 SP multi-switch frames  
4. For locations inside a frame, the Frame (WWW) and/or Major Assembly (XXX) strings may be omitted,  
making the format YY-ZZZ  
Major assembly (XXX)  
v 1st character is the major assembly type (all three characters if the assembly occurs only once in a  
frame):  
– N for processor node assembly  
– S for switch assembly  
– PDU for frame power supply assembly  
– ADC for ac/dc Converter assembly  
– FRA for frame  
v 2nd and 3rd characters are the major assembly number:  
– 00 for any/all major assemblies (designates location inside any/all major assemblies)  
– 01 - 99 for major assembly 1-99 (specific to that major assembly)  
Sub-assembly (YY)  
1st and 2nd characters are the assembly designation inside the major assembly. (This string may be  
omitted in some cases.)  
Refer to the lists of two-character designations associated with each major assembly throughout this  
chapter.  
Example: SC denotes a switch card.  
Connection location (ZZZZ)  
v 1st character is the connection type:  
– P for plug (cable side)  
– J for jack (card/component side)  
– G for chassis ground connection

Figure notes:  
1. Frames equipped with the SP Redundant Power Supply must have four power modules (books)  
installed in the SEPBU.  
2. Wide processor nodes take up an entire shelf position (two thin processor node slots). They are  
identified by the odd numbered position.  
3. In a F/C 2032 frame, switch assemblies take up an entire shelf partition. (They are identified by the  
even-numbered position.)  
4. Processor node slots are numbered up to N16.  
5. An SMP High Node takes up 2 shelf positions (slots). It is identified by the least odd number position  
of the occupied slots.

Attention: Components in the frame are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Always use an  
ESD wristband when working inside frame covers. (See “Personal ESD requirements” for more details.)  
Do not touch the pins or circuitry on these components.  
Personal ESD requirements  
The processor uses FRUs that are known to be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD  
damage to FRUs or to prevent system failures, observe the following procedures:  
v Keep the FRU in its original static-dissipative shipping container until the FRU is ready to be installed in  
the system. Move the static-dissipative container near the location where the FRU is to be installed  
(within ESD wrist strap distance). If the FRU must be put down for any reason, first place it in its  
static-dissipative container or place it on the static-dissipative mat.  
v Open only the covers that are necessary to complete the task. Any time a cover is open the service  
representative and all people in the area must be ESD-safe. If power is switched on, or if removing or  
exchanging any FRU, always use the ESD kit (part 93F2649).  
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap.  
2. Attach the ESD cable to the wrist strap.  
3. Attach the ESD mat to the wrist strap, if required.  
4. Attach the insulated clip to the ESD cable.  
5. Attach the insulated clip to the frame holes labeled ESD. If the frame holes are not available, use a  
grounding point on the frame.

Using the css.snap script  
The css.snap script is located in the /usr/lpp/ssp/css directory. When the script runs, it collects log, trace,  
and dump files created by SP Switch2 support code (device driver, worm, fault-service daemon, and  
diagnostics) into a single compressed package.  
Attention: css.snap uses a number of undocumented utilities to collect information. Some of these can  
be destructive when used on a running system. After using css.snap to collect diagnostic information, it’s  
best to run /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch in order to reset and reload the switch adapter and eliminate  
residual effects of these utilities. This procedure should be used only under the direction of the IBM  
Support Center.  
When working with a two-plane SP Switch2 system, add the adapter name to the command, as follows:  
dsh -a /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch -a <adapter_name>  
The css.snap script is called whenever a serious error is detected by the switch support code. You can  
direct the system to create a snapshot by loging into the desired node and manually issuing the command:  
/usr/lpp/ssp/css/css.snap with any of the optional flags: [-c | -n] [-s] [-a cssX (where X=0 or 1)] [-p p0]  
where:  
v -c Flushes the adapter cache and prints the result. This is the default.  
Chapter 3. Service procedures 3-3  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
v -n Assumes that the device driver or daemon has flushed the cache.  
v -s Takes a soft snap, which does not dump the adapter state. This excludes the col_dump.out. This flag  
is used for temporary errors (TYPE=TEMP) where the integrity of the adapter is in doubt, or when it is  
not desirable to corrupt the adapter state by the use of diagnostic routines.  
v -a Specifies a single adapter. When this flag is not used, all the node’s configured adapters will be  
selected. This is the default.  
v -p Specifies a single port on a specified adapter, hence a specific plane. This option must be used  
together with the -a option. When this flag is not specified, all the adapter’s ports are selected. This is  
the default.  
Collect the css.snap information from both the primary node and all nodes that are experiencing SP  
Switch2 problems. Do not reboot the nodes before running css.snap, because rebooting causes the loss  
of valuable diagnostic information.  
css.snap file structure  
The files collected by running the css.snap script are organized into the following hierarchy of directories:  
/var/adm/SPlogs/css  
v Node (global) level log file  
v Contains information relevant to all the ports and adapters in the node  
/var/adm/SPlogs/cssX (where X=0 or 1)

css.snap file package names  
Once the css.snap script creates the package of compressed files, the package file is given a name that  
varies according to the flags used with the css.snap command.  
If the -a and -p flags are not used:  
The file name is hostname.yymmddhhmmss.css.snap.tar.Z  
If -a cssX (where X=0 or 1) is used but -p is not specified:  
The file name is hostname.yymmddhhmmss.adapter0.css.snap.tar.Z  
If -a cssX (where X=0 or 1) and -p p0 are both used:  
The file name is hostname.yymmddhhmmss.adapter0.port0.css.snap.tar.Z  
Hostname is the name of the node where the css.snap command was issued and yymmddhhmmss is the  
date and time that the information was collected.  
Disk space handling  
css.snap avoids flooding /var by following these rules:  
v If less than 10% of /var is free, css.snap exits.  
v If the CSS portion of /var is more than 30% of the total space in /var, css.snap erases old snap files  
until the CSS share sinks below 30%. If successful, css.snap proceeds. If not, it exits.  
SP Switch2 supervisor self-test  
The following procedures will help you perform self-test on the switch supervisor card. Upon completion of  
this test, return to the procedure that sent you here.  
1. Detach supervisor harness from connector at back of the unit. Detaching the supervisor harness  
removes the 12 volt power from the supervisor card.  
2. Reinsert the supervisor harness to perform the supervisor card self-test.  
3. Check green and yellow LEDs on the switch supervisor card for the self-test conditions listed below.

Removing and restoring switch resources  
This procedure can be performed to allow customer to use a switch feature while extended service actions  
are performed on an individual frame of a multi-frame system with the switch feature.  
DO NOT PERFORM this procedure unless the required service operation will take the switch out of the  
switch configuration for a minimum of two hours (for example, a part must be ordered or a switch or frame  
must be repeatedly powered on/off) and/or the customer specifically requests it.  
Care should be taken to understand the consequences on any partitions that might be sharing switch  
resources. See “Using Perspectives to fence and unfence nodes attached to the switch” on page 3-10.  
Attention: This procedure is intended to allow the customer to use the switch feature during extended  
repair action. The customer must stop all parallel jobs prior to starting the repair. Once the repair is  
complete, the customer must stop all parallel jobs again to reconfigure the switch to include the resource  
again. If the service action is expected to be complete in a short period of time (for example, two hours or  
less), this additional interruption of all parallel jobs will probably cost the customer more time than was  
saved by use of the switch feature during that short period.  
Removing an SP Switch2 from the active configuration  
1. Identify the switch which is to be removed from the active configuration (see RS/6000 SP: System  
Service Guide).  
2. If the primary processor node (usually in Frame 1) is connected to the switch identified in step  
1, the customer must select an available processor node to be the new primary processor node. The  
primary node is set by the Eprimary command. Refer to Parallel System Support Programs for AIX:  
Administration Guide (SA22-7348) for more information.  
3. Have customer stop all current parallel jobs and suspend all parallel jobs on the job queue.  
4. Put circuit breaker at the rear of switch assembly in the Off (‘0’) position.  
5. The customer can re-initialize the switch using the Estart command. The frame and processor nodes  
which were removed in this procedure will appear in the out.top file with error messages; however, the  
remainder of the switch resources are now available for customer use.  
6. If switch re-initialization was successful, the customer can start running parallel jobs again.  
7. Return to MAPs to continue service action(s).  
Restoring an SP Switch2 to the active configuration  
1. Identify the switch to be restored to the active configuration.  
2. Have customer stop all current parallel jobs and suspend all parallel jobs on the job queue.  
3. Make sure that the circuit breaker at the rear of the switch is in the Off (‘0’) position.  
4. Connect all cables to the switch. Pay attention to the labels on the cables.  
5. Put the circuit breaker at the rear of the switch in the On (‘1’) position.  
6. If the primary processor node was changed during the isolation procedure, the customer can change  
the primary processor node back to the original selection; however, this is NOT required. The primary  
node is set by the Eprimary command. Refer to Parallel System Support Programs for AIX:  
Administration Guide (SA22-7348) for more information.  
7. The customer can re-initialize the switch using the Estart command. Cables connected to the switch  
assembly and processor nodes which were restored in this procedure should appear in the out.top file  
without any error messages.  
8. If switch re-initialization was successful, the customer can start running parallel jobs again.  
9. Return to MAPs to continue service actions.

Using Perspectives to fence and unfence nodes attached to the switch  
Fencing nodes  
1. Bring up Hardware Perspectives for the system  
2. Select the node to be fenced by either:  
v Double clicking the node  
v Opening the node’s notebook  
3. Select either:  
v Fence  
v Fence with autojoin  
Note: Selecting the autojoin option will automatically place the node back into the operations of the  
partition on successful power on of the Node. It is suggested that “Autojoin” not be selected at  
any time when performing a service action.  
4. Click ″Apply″  
Unfencing nodes  
1. Bring up Hardware Perspectives for the system  
2. Select the node to be unfenced by either:  
v Double clicking the node  
v Opening the node’s notebook  
3. Select “Unfence”  
4. Click “Apply”  
Efence of primary and primary backup nodes  
System design does not allow Efence of primary and backup nodes by default. However, with the -f  
option, the primary and primary backup node may be fenced. In this case, a new oncoming primary  
node or oncoming primary backup node will be selected for you and an Estart will be issued. You will  
need to use the Eprimary command after the Efence command has completed to see what the new  
primary and primary backup nodes are.  
Service position procedures  
Note: When placing a switch into the service position, ensure that the customer has removed the switch  
from the active configuration.  
Placing an SP Switch2 into service position  
Note: Make certain the switch has been removed from the active configuration before placing the switch  
into the service position.  
1. Place the switch circuit breaker in the Off (‘0’) position.  
2. Set the inline switch on the power cable to the Off (‘0’) position.  
3. At the rear of the switch, remove the power cable from slot J1 and the supervisor cable from slot J2.  
4. Record the positions of all switch cables connected to the interposers in slots J3 through J34.  
5. Remove the switch cables.  
6. Remove the switch mounting screws from the front of the frame.  
7. Remove the switch by sliding it out of the front of the frame.

Replacing an SP Switch2 from service position  
Note: Make certain the switch has been returned to the active configuration after replacing the switch  
from the service position.  
1. Install the switch by sliding it into the front of the frame.  
2. Reinstall the screws holding the switch to the front of the frame.  
3. Reconnect all switch cables to their recorded interposer positions.  
4. Reattach the power cable to slot J1 and the supervisor cable to slot J2.  
5. Set the inline switch to the On (‘1’) position.  
6. Place the switch circuit breaker in the On (‘1’) position.  
Resetting the clock and bootlist after servicing a node  
When servicing a node, the node becomes disconnected from its power source for a period of time. Since  
nodes normally do not have a real battery, the NVRAM will loose it’s memory when disconnected from  
power for about 10 minutes (sometimes less). This will cause the date to be reset to January 1, 1970, and  
the bootlist to be cleared. This can cause some problems with booting.  
It is highly recommended to reset the clock and bootlist before booting the node. This is done as follows:  
1. Before powering down the node to be serviced, display the current bootlist:  
a. Run diagnostics (diag)  
b. Choose the “Service Aids” panel  
c. Choose the “Display/Alter Bootlist” panel  
d. Choose “Normal Mode”  
e. Choose “Display Current Bootlist”  
This will display the current bootlist.  
2. Power down the node, service it, and hook it back into the frame.  
3. On the control workstation, run spbootins to set the node to boot in maintenance mode. For  
example, if it is node 12 of frame 2, enter:  
spbootins -r maintenance 2 12 1  
4. On the control workstation, netboot the node:  
a. From the SP Perspectives Launch Pad, select ″Hardware Perspectives″  
b. Click on the processor node (or nodes) you are going to boot from a network  
c. Click on “Actions” button on the tool bar  
d. Verify the nodes selected, then click on the ″Apply″ button  
e. IPL from network device begins  
Note: If Packets Received always shows “00000”, there is a network or configuration problem.  
5. When this boots, a console window will pop up on your display. Follow the prompts:  
a. “Start Maintenance Mode for System Recovery”  
b. “Access a Root Volume Group”  
c. “Continue”  
d. Choose correct disk from the list  
e. Access this volume group and start a shell  
6. In the maintenance shell, set the date command. For example, to set the date to August 3, 1995, do  
″date 0803123095″  
7. In the maintenance shell, set the boot list.  
a. Run diagnostics (diag)  
b. Choose the “Service Aids” panel  
c. Choose the “Display/Alter Bootlist” panel  
d. Choose “Normal Mode”  
e. Choose “Alter Current Bootlist”  
f. Set the bootlist the way it was before the node was serviced  
8. Close the console window  
Chapter 3. Service procedures 3-11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
9. On the control workstation, set the node to boot from disk. For example:  
spbootins -r disk 2 12 1  
10. On the control workstation, use Perspectives to power off the node and then power it back on.  
The node will now boot from the device that you specified in step 7 with the correct time.  
Running diagnostics on a switch port  
Attention: Servicing a processor node or switch assembly may interrupt customer usage of the  
processor node and the remainder of the switch network. If the switch feature must be replaced in a  
multi-frame system, refer to “Removing and restoring switch resources” on page 3-9, for information on  
isolating the switch assembly.  
Before running diagnostic tests on a switch to diagnose node to switch problems, you must identify the  
port number. For example:  
Bulkhead jack 6 on switch 17 frame 1 is identified as E01-S17-BH-J6  
To run the test from the control workstation for this example the syntax of the command is:  
/usr/lpp/ssp/bin/spd/wrap_test -j E01-S17-BH-J6  
The wrap test will indicate when to use the following items that are supplied as part of the ship group:  
v Wrap cable  
v Wrap plug  
v Interposer wrap card

This chapter describes the removal and replacement of RS/6000 SP product-specific Field Replaceable  
Unit (FRU) components.  
Attention: Components in the frame are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Always use an  
ESD wristband when working inside frame covers. (See “Personal ESD requirements” on page 3-1 for  
more details.) Do not touch the pins or circuitry on these components.  
Handling static-sensitive devices  
Attention: Adapters, planars, disk drives, supervisor cards and memory cards are sensitive to static  
electricity discharge. These devices are wrapped in antistatic bags or containers to prevent this damage.  
Perform the following procedures to prevent damage to these devices:  
1. Do not remove the device from the antistatic bag or container until you are ready to install the device
