Operating Systems AIX Power8 S812L:HMC issue and ... Post 302962169 by The Doctor on Wednesday 9th of December 2015 09:50:01 AM

Looks like VIO Server is off the table for now. As installed, your m/c doesn't support it. The next 3 items would be "True" if your m/c was ordered with Feature Code # EC22 & entitled to VIOS support.
Quote:
2 RPA I/O hosting False

4 Subprocessor partitioning False

10 Live partition mobility False
AFAIK, the S812L comes in 3 orderable flavors:
  • (f/c #EC16) - Open Power Abstraction Layer (OPAL) - aka a basic m/c
  • (f/c #EC20) - Power KVM
  • (f/c #EC22) - IBM PowerVM for IBM PowerLinux
I dunno but I guess your machine was ordered with Feature code #EC16 - a basic machine...... leaving you with the bare metal options previously pointed out.

What to do now ? Some options I can think of:
  • get out your wallet & buy Feature Code EC22 for your m/c if you're looking for a virtualized solution. Talk to an IBM Business Partner in your area to get a price, etc. I imagine this option isn't going to fly.
  • call IBM Support to help debug your problems..... as to why Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 LE doesn't see any disks. Your m/c did have a 3 yr warranty..... IBM Support will check your serial number & determine if you're entitled to free support within the warranty period.... or not.
  • switch to a supported version of Ubuntu
  • as others suggested in this thread, download the Standalone Diagnostic CD & thoroughly check out your machine. https://www-304.ibm.com/webapp/set2/...load/home.html
  • oooops, just noticed dukessd already posted this link...... my apologies for duplicating the obvious. Duh on my part !!!!
