Chapter 3. Maintenance Analysis Procedures (MAPs)This chapter contains maintenance analysis procedures (MAPs).Notes:1. When possible, run online diagnostics in service mode. Online diagnostics performadditional functions, compared to standalone diagnostics. This ensures that theerror state of the system is captured in NVRAM (non-volatile random accessmemory) for your use in fixing the problem. The AIX error log and SMIT are onlyavailable when diagnostics are run from the hard drive.2. If more than eight digits are displayed in the operator panel, use only the first eightdigits to find the error in the tables. The digits that display beyond the first eightdigits are location codes that can assist you in diagnosing the problem. See“Location Codes” on page 9.3. Licensed programs frequently rely on network configuration and system informationstored on the VPD (vital product data) module on the operator panel controlassembly. If the MAPs indicate that the operator panel control assembly should bereplaced, swap the VPD module from the old operator panel to the new one. If theexisting VPD module must be replaced, call technical support for recoveryinstructions. If recovery is not possible, notify the system owner that new keys forlicensed programs may be required.4. If a network adapter or the I/O board is replaced, the network administrator must benotified so that the client IP addresses used by the server can be changed. Inaddition, the operating system configuration of the network controller might need tobe changed in order to enable system startup. Also check to ensure that any clientor server that addresses this system is updated.Quick Entry MAPUse the following table to determine your starting point.If you replace FRUs or perform an action and the problem is still not corrected, go to“MAP 1540: Minimum Configuration” on page 50 unless otherwise indicated in thetables.If you replace FRUs or perform an action and the problem is corrected, go to "MAP410: Repair Checkout" in the RS/6000 and Eserver pSeries Diagnostics Informationfor Multiple Bus Systems.27
