What type of hardware/system do you have. Is this an lpar on a CEC where there are other LPARS. Do you have an HMC? If so look at the event and service code history in the HMC log. Did you upgrade any firmware. What firmware level are you on. What is running on this LPAR? Was it recently installed? See the following reference

You may not have the correct licensing option. What have you changed in this system?

We've a POWER 6 H/W
Yes we do have an HMC. nothing got changed recently. everything looks ok.
its a database server.

I found something online on the IBM forums. as per this post, this is just a informational message.
but you can provide your comments as well.
Thanks,
