TIPS

To return expected results, you can:

 * Reduce the number of search terms. Each term you use focuses the search
   further.
 * Check your spelling. A single misspelled or incorrectly typed term can change
   your result.
 * Try substituting synonyms for your original terms. For example, instead of
   searching for "java classes", try "java training"
 * Did you search for an IBM acquired or sold product ? If so, follow the
   appropriate link below to find the content you need.

IV91020: CRASH IN VIOENT_INIT_LS_TIMER WHEN POLL_UPLINK=YES 16/12/29 PTF
PECHANGE


A FIX IS AVAILABLE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.


APAR STATUS


 * CLOSED AS PROGRAM ERROR.
   
   


ERROR DESCRIPTION

 * **************************************************************
   * USERS AFFECTED:
   * Systems running the AIX 7200-01 Technology Level
   * with devices.vdevice.IBM.l-lan.rte at the 7.2.1.0 level.
   **************************************************************
   * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
   * On VIO client LPARs using virtual ethernet, if the
   * poll_uplink attribute is set to 'yes' for any virtual
   * ethernet adapter device, the system may crash during reboot
   * after updating to the affected Service Packs listed below.
   *
   * The device attribute can be verified with:
   * # lsattr -El entX -a poll_uplink
   *
   * Please apply the fixes below if updating to the affected
   * Service Packs, before rebooting, to avoid the crash
   * on boot.
   *
   * The crash will show information similar to:
   * Illegal Trap Instruction Interrupt in Kernel
   * vioent_init_ls_timer+000000 tdllti r31,200
   *
   * If this crash is experienced, the system can be recovered
   * by temporarily removing the virtual ethernet device(s) from
   * the LPAR profile and rebooting.  Then the attribute can be
   * unset and the system reactivated with the original profile.
   *
   * The device attribute can be changed with:
   * # chdev -l entX -a poll_uplink=no
   **************************************************************
   * RECOMMENDATION:
   * Install APAR IV91020.
   * Prior to fix availability, an interim fix is available from
   * either
   * ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/iv91020/
   * https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/iv91020/
   * Installation of the ifix requires a reboot.
   **************************************************************
   
   
   


LOCAL FIX

 * If this crash is experienced, the system can be recovered
   by temporarily removing the virtual ethernet device(s) from
   the LPAR profile and rebooting.  Then the attribute can be
   unset  and the system reactivated with the original profile.
   .
   The device attribute can be changed with:
   # chdev -l entX -a poll_uplink=no
   
   
   


PROBLEM SUMMARY

 * A compiler option is used with the vioentdd driver to
   instrument a number of runtime checks.  These checks
   are hit regularly by vioent_init_ls_timer(), which is
   executed when poll_uplink=yes.
   
   
   


PROBLEM CONCLUSION

 * For now remove the compiler option to avoid the asserts.
   
   
   


TEMPORARY FIX

 *   *********
     * HIPER *
