  2. Description: Service Locks are HMC marks-on-the-wall that are used to prevent simultaneous service actions on the same FRU. Service locks are set when a repair action begins, and they are reset when a repair action ends. If a simultaneous repair action is attempted, the user is informed that the action is not allowed because the FRU is already locked by another service action.
  3. Action: After all service actions that are in progress are complete, the service locks should reset and clear this condition. If the condition is still present, the service locks can be reset by restarting the HMC. Next level of support can use the PE login ID to reset the locks by using theStorage Facility Management > storage facility > Service Utilities > Reset Service Locks menu option.
