Failing Item
6982
High Speed Link (HSL) connection failure
Connection failure between HSL links. A B600 6984 SRC may also appear
in the PAL. Both SRCs are reporting the same failure.
Multiple B600 6982 errors may occur due to retry and recovery activity. If
the recovery efforts were successful, there will be a B600 6985 with a xxxx
3206 in word 4 logged after all B600 6982 errors in the PAL. If this is the
case, close out all the B600 6982 enteries.
NOTE: This SRC can occur for the HSL loop resource when an I/O
expansion unit on the loop is powered off for a concurrent maintenance
action.
1.
If there is a B600 6987 SRC in the SAL logged at about the same time,
close this problem and work the B600 6987. Otherwise, continue with
the next step.
2.
Search for a B600 6981 SRC in the SAL logged at approximately the
same time. If you find one then go to step 3. Otherwise perform the
following:
v
Perform BUS-PIPHSL06 to determine if this loop connects to any
other systems and return here. (BUSCBLX FRU in the SAL will
indicate the loop number this failure is on.) If this loop is connected
to other systems then continue with the steps that follow, otherwise
go to step 2.
v
Check for HSL failures in the SALs of the other system(s). HSL
failures are SAL entries with HSL I/O Bridge and Network Interface
Controller (NIC) resources. Ignore B600 6982 and B600 6984 SRCs. If
there are any HSL failures on the other system(s), (not including B600
6982 and B600 6984), then continue with the steps that follow,
otherwise go to step 2.
v
Repair the problem(s) on the other system(s) and then return to this
step. After making repairs on other system(s) check the Product
Activity Log (PAL) of this system for a B600 6985 and this loop’s
resource name logged after the repairs you made on the other
system(s). If there is a 6985 logged after the repairs on the other
system(s) then continue with the steps that follow, otherwise go to
step 2.
v
For the B600 6985 SRC you found use FRU SIRSTAT to determine if
it is indicating that the loop is complete. If the loop is complete then
this problem has been resolved. Use BUS-PIPHSL01 to verify that the
loop is now working properly. Otherwise, go to setp 2.
3.
The FRU list displayed in the SAL may be different from the failing
item list given here. Use the FRU list in the SAL when it is available.
If the Symbolic FRU BUSCBLx is in the SAL for this SRC then perform
BUS-PIPHSL01. Otherwise exchange the FRUs in the SAL according to
their part action codes.
NOTE: A fiber optic cleaning kit may be required for optical HSL
connections.

An invalid High Speed Link (HSL) configuration was detected.
An HSL loop has an invalid configuration. Word 4 of the SRC contains the
program return code (PRC) which identifies the problem with the loop’s
configuration. Use the PRC and the FRU listed to determine the problem.
If you are using the Service Action Log (SAL) the FRU description may
already indicate the configuration problem.
