Bad news I am afraid. LCD code 555 means the following:
An ODM error occurred when trying to varyon the rootvg, or unable to create an NFS swap device during network boot.
Now unless your are trying to netboot this machine it would mean the rootvg has a corrupted O/S and will not boot. The saving factor might be to SMS the machine and try to boot off HDISK1 as long as it has a mirrored ROOTVG.

After many attempts to bring the Liant Aix53 server to life, the error code 11007611 displays on the server's panel. 11007611 is a Fan missing error. The fan is not missing and I can place my hand near the fan and feel that it is working.
Any suggestions? (1 Reply)

Good afternoon there,
One of my friend gave me an old IBM 44P Model 170 (I've planned to use it to learn AIX that I don't know at all) (I know a bit GNU/Linux (Debian, Archlinux, Red Hat, Slackware)).
But, unfortunately, the computer doesn't start properly and I don't have any idea why ;(.

boot.config
BOOT.CONFIG(5) BSD File Formats Manual BOOT.CONFIG(5)
NAME
boot.config -- Configuration file for the boot blocks
DESCRIPTION
The boot.config file contains options for the FreeBSD boot block code.
When the FreeBSD boot loader runs, it searches the ``a'' slice of the boot partition for a boot.config file (as a result, slices which are
missing an ``a'' partition require user intervention during the boot process). If the boot.config file is found, its contents are used as
the default configuration options for the boot block code and are echoed to the system console.
A valid format of this file is to put BIOS drive number, a controller type, a unit number, a partition, a kernel file name, and any other
valid boot(8) option on a single line, as it is done at the ``boot:'' prompt.
The options related to the boot image selection described below and all the other options available for boot.config are documented in detail
in the boot(8) manual page.
FILES
/boot.config parameters for the boot blocks (optional)
EXAMPLES
The command:
# echo "-P" > /boot.config
will activate the serial console of FreeBSD.
The command:
# echo "1:ad(1,a)/boot/loader" > /boot.config
will instruct the second stage of boot(8) on the first disk to boot with the third boot(8) stage from the second disk.
The command:
# echo "1:ad(1,a)/boot/loader -P" > /boot.config
will do both of the above.
