RE: I/O Battery cache replacement problems

["Pete Massiello" <pmassiello-ml@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Where is the Business Partner who sold you the box.  I am sure you can call
them, and they would be happy to come to your rescue.  They probably have
people who have good experience setting up boxes, and will most likely be
able to get you out of this.  Any good partner should be there for the life
of your box, not just until the check clears the bank.

Are you sure the cable from ETHO on the HMC is attached to the HMC1 port on
the back of your 520?

Yes, we have an HMC but it's apparently not communicating with the 
iSeries.
When I click on Servers and Partitions it shows an IP address we don't use
(10.0.0.254) and says 'No Connection'.  Normally it would show '9406-520
xxxxxxxx' where xxxxxxx is the Serial Number.  Under that it would show 
the
partitions.  None of that shows up.

We don't have a maintenance contract with IBM.  Apparently the system 
called
IBM and they called us to see if we wanted their help.  We said sure, but
then they wanted to charge $4250 to our credit card before we could even 
ask
a question.

Google shows the machine is waiting for reset slots, but I have no idea 
what
that means. Do you have an HMC?

Can you call IBM?

After powering my system down completely and replacing the cache battery I
am unable to get the system to IPL.  I keep getting stuck at D200B077. 
I've
tried reseating all the cards in their slots but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?  Anyone else every try this?
