Hello Guys,

Hi Filo,

Did anybody reseat a disk drive or power cycle a device (tape / CD) on that SCSI bus?
That would cause a reset, which would be the normal course of events.
Else if this happens frequently, it could be an indication of an impending failure in the SCSI subsystem.

Rgds,
Jeff

When I have seen this here, it has been either DVD/DAT module or a cabling issue.

Thanks for your help;

lsp: 0000000000000000

or

vmunix: Script dump [fffffffff87ba028]:

I hope that you can understand me......my english is not good...

Filo,

Your english is fine. Do you happen to see any EMS errors logged to syslog or any hex addresses preceded by b_dev? You'd have to have diagnostics installed on the system to see the EMS notification.

Eric

If its a hot swappapble disk and it was pulled out of the unit for a second, and lbolt will be generated. If the cable to a tape drive or CD drive were removed same issue.

Restarting the machine will clear the error.

If none of these things happen, you may have a bad disk and need to bring our HP hardware to replace it.

I reccomend a make_tape_recovery and a fbackup with databases down to preserve data prior to switching the disk.

Its important to know whats on it so you know how much of a backup will be required.

cabling, control card and drive cage(if present) issues can also trigger lbolts.

NOTE:I've never had an lbolt that didn't lead to equipment being replaced.
