Re: Attention LED in HMC

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If that attention light is on the managed system or an LPAR it most 
likely means that a device did not vary on properly somewhere.  Ever 
since the Power5 boxes came out that yellow light goes on when the wind 
blows or the world turns.  It's almost useless now.  For some reason we 
can't get the folks in Austin to understand just because you can turn on 
the yellow light, you should.......

Since you have checked all of the appropriate things you can simply turn 
it off on the HMC.
