6970
High Speed Link (HSL) resource failure
A system PCI bus failure was detected. Word 7 of the SRC contains the bus
number.
This failure can occur when a tower in an HSL loop is powered off using
concurrent maintenance. If this is the case, close this problem.
This error is most likely in the hardware that makes up the PCI bus, the
PCI bus side of the HSL I/O bridge or the multi-adapter bridge. In some
cases it may be caused by a failing IOP in the multi-adapter bridge’s
domain. When an IOP is causing the problem, the failing IOP cannot be
identified.
NOTE: This SRC can occur for the PCI bus resource on a PCI bus in an
I/O expansion unit when the unit is powered off for a concurrent
maintenance action.
Exchange the failing items in the order they are listed in the SAL or this
document until you get to the PIOCARD failing item. If the problem still
exists after exchanging the failing items up to, but not including, PIOCARD
then perform BUS-PIPMAB03 to determine the failing I/O processor card.
For this reference code the failing item list presented in the
″
Service Action
Log
″
can be different from the failing item list documented here. That is
due to the differences in system models and features installed.
If the
″
Service Action Log
″
is available then use the failing item list
presented there for servicing this reference code.
If the
″
Service Action Log
″
is not available then use the failing item list
documented here. By following the procedures in the symbolic FRUs listed
here you will isolate to the correct FRU list based on system model and
features installed.
NOTE: A fiber optic cleaning kit may be required for optical HSL
connections.
