IT00172: BLADE IS STUCK IN RECOVERY STATE AFTER POWERING OFF COMPUTE NODE

IBM PureApplication System Version 1.1.0.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During system test a user attempted to power off a compute
  node. The operation failed because the compute node the virtual
  machines (VMs) were being evacuated to did not have enough
  capacity.
  
  After adding an additional compute node to the cloud group the
  VMs were evacuated successfully, but the blade fell into an
  error state. Events indicate it is stuck in recovery state.
  
  CWZIP6167E The hypervisor deployment failed for the compute
  node: [server id] chassis: 3, and bay: 7. The compute node
  cannot be powered on. The current state is: Recovery
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If blade is stuck in recovery state try to restore it
  from the backup file.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been updated to attempt to initialize the blade,
  and if the return code indicates it is still in recovery
  state try to restore it from the backup file.
  

Temporary fix
