  • AS400 9404 E-type System Atn light on and Function: 11-2. Data: 2615 B892

    I'm not a programmer or an AS400 tech support guy.

    But I can find my way around with a little help from my friends!

    I've got an AS400 9404 E-type V3R2M0 with the System Attn light
    on and the following showing on the LED:

    Function: 11-2
    Data: 2615 B892

    The system is now down.

    For a couple weeks I've been getting warnings that a disk was failing.

    Now this.

    I've found a refurbished disk and it will be here in a few days.

    I've replaced HDD's in this box before, but I need the exact
    steps to follow to do it again, if anybody would be willing
    to detail that for me.

    But is there anything else that may have failed to account for
    the SysAttn light coming and the system now down?

    "2615" seems to refer to a bad tape drive. This 9404 does have
    a 1.2 1/4" tape backup drive; is this the cause of that LED display
    and the system just freezing?

    Please see the attached screenshot.

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Hard for me to be sure for that far back. My best guess is that it's a problem somewhere under the multi-function IOP (MFIOP 2615). That IOP would control the tape drive but probably one or more disk drives as well. If a failing drive had been reported, it seems like a reasonable SRC to show on the control panel.

    No help from here on replacing the drive. If you've done it before, you're one of the experts.

    There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors.

    Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
