RIOIP07

Starting with a frame ID, for a frame connected to an HSL loop, use this procedure to determine if there is another frame with the same frame ID on the loop. This is possible when more than one system is connected to an HSL loop.

RIOIP07 Section-1

Procedure

  1. Sign on to SST or to DST if you have not already done so.
  2. Select Start a service tool > Hardware service manager > Logical hardware resources > High-speed link resources.
  3. Move the cursor to the HSL loop that you want to examine, and select Resources associated with loop > Include non-reporting resources. The display that appears shows the loop resource and all the "HSL I/O Bridge" and all the "Remote HSL NIC" resources connected to the loop.
  4. Perform the following for each HSL I/O Bridge resource on the display:
    1. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O Bridge resource and select Associated packaging resource(s).
    2. Compare the frame ID on the display with the frame ID (in hexadecimal format) that you are looking to find (Ignore leading zeros).
    3. Are the frame IDs the same?
      • Yes, perform the following steps:
        1. Record the resource name and the Type-Model of the HSL I/O Bridge with the frame ID for possible use later.
        2. Select Display Detail and record the "SPCN system serial number". The SPCN system serial number is the serial number of the system unit that controls the power subsystem on the frame (it connects to the frame with an SPCN cable).
        3. Select Cancel to the return to the Packaging Resources Associated with a Logical Resource display.
        4. Select Cancel to return to the Logical Hardware Associated With HSL Loops display. Continue with the next step.
      • No, select Cancel to return to the Logical Hardware Associated With HSL Loops display. Continue with the next step.
  5. Repeat step 4 for each HSL I/O Bridge under the loop. Then, continue with the next step in this procedure.
  6. Did you find more than one HSL I/O Bridge with the same frame ID?
    • Yes, you have recorded the resource name, the Type-Model, and the Power Controlling system of every frame on the loop that matches the frame ID that you are looking to find. This ends the procedure.
    • No, there is only one frame on the loop with the frame ID you are working with. Return to the procedure that sent you here. This ends the procedure.
