About this task
The FRU replacement of the FCIC card requires that the
firmware level be checked using the SES communication of one of two
specific DDMs in the same storage enclosure. See
Figure 1.
- The P1-C1 (left) FCIC card uses either the P1-D1 or P1-D2 DDM
- The P1-C2 (right) FCIC card uses either the P1-D3 or P1-D4 DDM
Figure 1. FCIC card and DDMs needed for
SES communication
If neither DDM is available, the following
occurs during the FCIC card repair FRU verification:
- A serviceable event with
SRC BE3400B2 and the FRU list containing MAP3270 and the FCIC card
is created.
- A serviceable event with
SRC BE3400B2 for the FRU list containing MAP3270 and both DDMs is
created.
Note: Before you attempt to repair the FCIC card, one or both
failing DDMs might already have open serviceable events with
SRCs other than BE3400B2.
If the repair of the P1-C1(left)
FCIC card fails:
- Use the BE3400B2 serviceable event with
the FRU list that contains both DDMs (P1-D1 and P1-D2) to repair at
least one of the two DDMs.
- Retry the repair of the FCIC card. If it still fails, ensure that
you have repaired both DDMs and retry it one more time.
- After the FCIC card repair is successful, ensure that both DDMs
have been repaired and all related open serviceable events are
closed.
If the repair of the P1-C2 (right) FCIC card fails:
- Use the BE3400B2 serviceable event with
the FRU list that contains both DDMs (P1-D3 and P1-D4) to repair at
least one of the two DDMs.
- Retry the repair of the FCIC card. If it still fails, ensure that
you have repaired both DDMs and retry it one more time.
- After the FCIC card repair is successful, ensure that both DDMs
have been repaired and all related open serviceable events are
closed.
