Full Discussion: System can't boot up after power outage
Operating Systems AIX System can't boot up after power outage Post 302937982 by MichaelFelt on Wednesday 11th of March 2015 06:43:10 AM

The link above - labeled "Flex System", the forums automatically put the title, brings you into an information center with text about error codes.

With your extra code I also found this link: 9111-520 AIX server power-on problem - IBM: AIX - Tek-Tips - which in short indicates there is a problem with a power supply - if I read that correctly.

re: your new code - while this link is for Power7 - the meaning of the code has not changed -> IBM Knowledge Center ignore the page title - it is the frame you want!

Basically, is says "Perform isolation procedure FSPSPC1"

So, after searching around a bit I found this area of interest for you: IBM Knowledge Center again - ignore the page title - it is the frame you want!

More searching finds this page:

IBM Knowledge Center likewise - ignore the page title - it is the frame you want!

Code:
Resetting the service processor on systems with a physical control panel 
  1. If the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) is available, reset the service processor using the ASMI menus.Were you able to use the ASMI menus to reset the service processor?
    •  No: Continue with the next step.
      • 

    •  Yes: This ends the procedure.
      • 

    2. 

  2. Activate the service processor pinhole reset switch on the system's operator panel by carefully performing these steps:
    1. Using an insulated paper clip, unbend the clip so that it has a straight section about two inches long.
      2. 

    2. Insert the clip straight into the hole, keeping the clip perpendicular to the plastic bezel.
      3. 

    3. When you engage the reset switch, you should feel the detent of the switch.
      4. 

    4. Pressing the reset switch resets the service processor and causes the system to shut down.
      5. 

    3. 

  3. Reboot the system in slow mode from the permanent side using control panel function 02 or the ASMI menus, if available.
    4. 

  4. If the hang repeats, check with service support to see if a firmware update is available that fixes the problem. For more information, see Getting fixes.
    5.

The quick text is - FSP (Full Service Processor) needs a reset after a Power Failure. Worst case is you will need to reinstall the firmware.

Been there - done this!

And I am providing the links - because when you do not know what you need to find - you will not see it when it stares at you.

Good Luck!
