I finally was able to get back to this resurrection this afternoon.
I set the control panel to 01 D M
Then I entered 25, then 26, then I tried go up to 65 but as it showed 64, I
pressed up arrow one more time and it went back to 01.
I tried this a few times and the same results happened.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
TIA
Dave

Do a 65+21 until you get the 03 for LAN Console (A603500B), and then hit the
21 (Will switch to A603500C). You will also need to enable the Internal
adapters (A6E1500B) with the 65+21 (using T5 or T6, I don't know what T1 is,
but if you are doing LAN Console, use T5).
Put your i_BASE_01 disk into the CD drive, and perform a D Mode IPL in
manual mode. Then next screen you will see will be all blank and towards the
bottom will be 2924. Easy as cake. Will now need to install Lic and take
option 2 to install and initialize the system. You will probably have to
initialize the disks if you have lost the raid sets.

Subject: resurrection of a 520
I am trying to resurrect a power 5 9406 520. This system has been sitting in
the storage area for 3 years. After I retrieved it from the holding area, I
discovered someone had helped themselves to 4 of the 8 disk drives. Just to
be on the safe side, I removed the tope and a few extra layers to check out
the main board. Someone, again, had taken out 5 of the memory sticks and
just laid them back inside. At that point, I figured it was a lost cause but
figured I would at least try to see how far I could get it to IPL.
To my surprise, it powered up to the initial state. I knew the chances of a
good IPL was slim and none, so I changed the panel codes to 01 D M,
installed the Base CD in the drive and pressed the power button. The system
came up part way and stopped with a SRC of B2013200.
I have no idea what IP addresses that are inside the system if any. I do not
have an HMC available to use on the system so I have to resort to attaching
a PC to the system using a PC adapter cable that was still with the system.
I remembered the way this system was accessed before was through a PC direct
attached to the system but that is it.
Now for the questions:
Can I attach a PC using the T1 or T2 connection port in the back of the
system? What should the code be for that setup using the 65/21 option? What
IP address would I use to access the system?
If I attach a PC using the direct cable attachment to the system, what
should the code be for that setup using the 65/21 option?
I am trying to get to the point where I can finish loading the rest of the
operating system onto the remaining 4 disk drives.
If there is an option that I missed, please feel free to offer any
suggestion that would help.
Thanks I advance for your help.
