The system may have tried multiple times to establish a complete
RIO/HSL loop. This could result in multiple permanent B7006985 errors for
the same RIO/HSL loop. Check the following:
Procedure
Look in the informational logs for a B7006985 occurring
on the same RIO/HSL loop with a value of xxxx3206 or xxxx3208
in word 4. These indicate that a retry attempt was successful and the permanent
B7006985 errors for that loop can be closed with no further action necessary.
If there is a clustered system on the RIO/HSL loop that
has not finished it's IPL at the time of the error, you should
check for a similar error on that system. These errors will occur until all
systems on the loop have been completed their IPL. If there is a similar error
on the last system to complete its IPL, work the error from that system. Otherwise
you can close this error.
Check cable seating for the cable indicated in the locations given
in the serviceable event view. If no locations are given, check the RIO/HSL
Loop Status in the view on the operating system or on the HMC. Find the failed
link and check cable connections there. If the cable is an optical cable,
use OPT_CLN for direction on cleaning
the optical connections.
If the error persists after steps 1 and 2 above, continue working the error with
the FRUs given in the serviceable event view or service documentation. This
ends the procedure.
