– 2=Remove and clear hardware resource(s) removes the resource names
(when permanently moving or removing the resource).
Corrective action: Work with the customer to understand why the option to
leave resource names was selected. These resources should be left as is if the
customer intends to switch the resource back to the partition from which they
were removed. If they are removed and the resource is switched back to that

example, TAP01 being used by multiple partitions.
v The resource has actually failed or has been removed from the system.
Corrective action: Find out why each missing or non-reporting resource exists.
Follow normal problem-determination procedures including analyzing the
service action log. You can then clear non-reporting resources by following the
steps in the Troubleshooting logical partitions category of the iSeries Information
Center.
