I got an old IBM RS/6000 Model 7015-980 (rack model) and
I did a fresh install of IBM AIX 4.3.3 ML09 for my own
education. Because I do not have the need and the
necessary space for the uninteruptabel power supply (UPS)
and the battery pack I plugged the CPU drawer directly to
the main power source without the UPS.

Now the error logger notes the following messages several
times per second, consumes a lot of CPU time und occupies
the system disc.

How can I tell the system that there is no UPS and that
this system state is the normal state ?

There was a signal cabel between the UPS an the CPU drawer
(connector J230). But I can not find any description of
the connector J230. Can I simulate a POWER GOOD signal on
this connector ?

Thank you for any help
and greetings from the sunny Switzerland.

Hi,

I would try using "ps -ef" or "ps aux" to identify the process that is run by the UPS software,then identify the UPS sw location,then remove/uninstall it.

Possibly you can locate it also via smit ->sw installation and maintenance. "Long live king Moshiach !"
