C2001000 to C20082FF Virtual service processor checkpoints

The C2xx progress codes indicate the progress of a partition IPL that is controlled by the virtual service processor. The virtual service processor progress codes end after the environment setup completes and the specific operating system code continues the IPL.

The virtual service processor can start a variety of operating systems. Some codes are specific to an operating system and therefore, do not apply to all operating systems.

Table 1 lists the progress codes that might be displayed during the power-on self-test (POST), along with suggested actions to take if the system hangs on the progress code. Only when you experience a hang condition should you take any of the actions described for a progress code.

In the following progress codes, x can be any number or letter.

Table 1. C2001000 to C20082FF checkpoints
  • If the system hangs on a progress code, follow the suggested actions in the order in which they are listed in the Action column until the problem is solved. If an action solves the problem, you can stop performing the remaining actions.
  • See Parts listing, type 7891 to determine which components are CRUs and which components are FRUs.
