Procedure

  1. Ensure you are already logged into the HMC and the CEC enclosure is powered off. The power input cable to both CEC enclosure power supplies remains connected so the service processor has power.
  2. Login to the service processor ASM interface from the HMC as user celogin and password FipSce.
  3. You must manually restore/verify the VPD card settings using the following steps. This will ensure there are no undetected functional problems after the repair action is complete. Invalid or incorrect VPD settings can prevent the CEC enclosure from powering up or can cause functional problems. Not all invalid or incorrect VPD settings can be detected by the repair verify process.
  4. From the ASMI navigation, select System Configuration > Program Vital Product Data. Then select the menu option listed in the first column of Table 1.
    • The second column gives an example of a setting; this will not be your specific setting.
    • The third column directs you where to get your setting.
