Software and Microcode Errors
Some SRNs indicate that a problem might have been caused by a software error or
by a microcode error. If you have one of these SRNs, perform the following actions:
1. Make a note of the contents of the error log for the device that has the problem.
2. Go to the using-system service aids and select Display Vital Product Data to
display the VPD of the failing system. Make a note of the VPD for all the SSA
adapters and disk drive modules.
3. Report the problem to your support center. The center can tell you whether you
have a known problem and can, if necessary, provide you with a correction for
the software or microcode.
