Re: Cannot get to partition

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Conflicting signs here.  If the HMC won't give you a session then the 
partition is probably not truly running. Does the HMC show SRC of 0000 
0000 for that partition?

For the 2838 to not show a light the partition must have it varied down 
or failed. However most of the time when the card has power and is 
connected to a switch the thing will show at least one light. This is 
the conflict. 

Are there any abnormal indicators on the 0595?

I strongly doubt the 2838 is the problem here though I would likely try 
another port on the switch and another cable just because it's so easy 
to do. My feeling is the partition has somehow failed but how and why I 
can't hazard a guess.
