Cannot report H/W problem to SFP : lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer error

[alexia32]

Hi,
I received those errors and I have checked on my lpar if can see the hmc:
# lslpp -l |grep rmc

# lsrsrc IBM.ManagementServer
/usr/sbin/rsct/bin/lsrsrc-api: 2612-022 A session could not be established with the RMC daemon on "local_node".


I don;t understand why this lpar can't see the hmc, the other lpar is able to see the hmc... but on a different p5.

Can someone help me to fix this please ?
I have the exact same aix installation and done exactly the same way...

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Hi

I have tried to restart manually ctrm deamon but after few seconds it failed and get messages on errpt
I have connected to the hmc and check the status of this lpar and have this:
<#0> Partition:<1*9131-52A*067789G, mylpar, XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX>
Active:<0>, OS:<AIX, 5.3>, DCaps:<0x0>, CmdCaps:<0x0, 0x0>, PinnedMem:<266>

I don;t know why the status is set to 0 and not to 1 ...
From the hmc I can power off/on shutdown etc but not do dynamic lpar etc...

I am still continuing investigation to find the problem but if you have meet this before, you;re welcome to help me


FYI: my lpar and the hmc are on on the same vlan/subnet (no firewall)
Cheers
Al

Ok
I have fixed it now! all good here what I did (follow IBM stuff found under

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/DLPARchecklist.html#checklist

I have stop rsct: /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -z

I have removed those files /var/ct/cfg/ctrmc.aclsand /var/ct/cfg/ct_has.thl and remove the core files under /var/ct/<XXXXXXX>/run/mc
I start rsct : /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -A
but some deamon didn;t restart like IBMhost

I have stop again: /usr/sbin/rsct/bin/rmcctrl -z
run this command to reconfigure: /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct

check and all good now!

Cheers
Al
