Does the operating system have the correct time?
v Yes: Continue with this step.
v No: Set the correct time by doing the following:
1) On the command line, enter the Change System Value command (CHGSYSVAL QTIME
VALUE(’hhmmss’)).
2) Set the time by entering
– hh=24 hour time clock
– mm=minutes
– ss=seconds
3)
Press Enter.
Continue with the next step.
5. Verify that the system can perform an IPL at a specified time by doing the following:
a. Set the time to 5 minutes past the present time by entering the Change System Value command
(CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QIPLDATTIM) VALUE(’mmddyy hhmmss’)) on the command line.
mm
= month to power on
dd = day to power on
yy
= year to power on
hh = hour to power on
mm
= minute to power on
ss = second to power on
b. Power off the system by entering the Power Down System Immediate command (PWRDWNSYS
*IMMED) on the command line.
c. Wait 5 minutes.
Does the IPL start at the time you specified?
v No: Continue with the next step.
v Yes: This ends the procedure.
6.
Power on the system in normal mode, (see Power on/off the system and logical partitions).
Does the IPL complete successfully?
v Yes: Continue with the next step.
v No: Go to “Starting point for all problems” on page 2.
This ends the procedure.
7.
Find an entry in the Service Action Log that matches the time, SRC, and/or resource that compares to
the reported problem.
a. On the command line, enter the Start System Service Tools command:
STRSST
If you cannot get to SST, select DST (see Accessing Dedicated Service Tools in the iSeries Service
Functions ).
Note: Do not IPL the system to get to DST.
b. On the Start Service Tools Sign On display, type in a User ID with QSRV authority and Password.
c. Select Start a Service Tool—>Hardware Service Manager—>Work with service action log.
