The
initialize or create system operation failed because a valid new system
identifier (ID) cannot be assigned.
Explanation
You cannot initialize
or create a system on an enclosure that is already defined as part
of a system. A system ID is defined when a system is initialized or
created. Either the enclosure already has a system ID defined, or
the next system ID on the enclosure midplane is not valid. This condition
can occur if a system was previously created and deleted, but the
vital product data (VPD) is not cleared.
User response
Ensure that a node on which
you attempt to initialize or create a system is not already defined
as a system. Ensure that an enclosure
on which you attempt to initialize or create a system is not already
defined as a system. If a system was previously created and is
now deleted, clear the previous system ID by submitting the command
satask
chenclosurevpd -resetclusterid.
