Re: System Reference Codes on a 170

[Philipp Rusch <philipp.rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Chris,

There seems to be a problem with the cache data in your RAID-Controller.
I looked up the SRC's in my 170's "Problem Analysis, Repair and Parts"
handbook. As far as I can see, there should be nothing wrong with your
harddisks, so don't worry yet.
Can you describe your system a bit more in detail, what kind of controller,
how many disks, do you mirror or do RAID5 ?

The first thing you should do now is to do a manual IPL from the panel
(01 A M).
When the system comes up to DST, we can go on.

Regards from Germany, Philipp
