Source: 8 I/O

Jolene Mellas — Thu, 24 Jun 2004 16:31:40 GMT

checking the GSP chassis error log I got an Alert level: 6 = Boot possible, pending failure - action required
Source 8 = I/O
Source Detail: 9 = serial SOURCE ID: 0
Problem Detail: 3 = functional failure
...
Reporting entity: system firmware
---------------------------------
There are four log entries for this error.
We will be rebooting our system next week and I would like to know what this error is before that. Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
One of your I/O device has failed. Trace with the Source ID or you can refer /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file.

regards,

Thanks you,
The log doesn't seem to have an entry for this. How do I trace the source id?

To identify the problem, I recommend running stm, cstm,mstm or xstm and test the components of the system.

You may have a piece of hardware getting ready to break. You may also have an false alarm on something that won't break at all.

Hi,

You can provide the GSP log in entirety. Something to do with your Serial device, probably your console/Remote console/UPS port.

Did you make any configuration changes in GSP or system prior to this error popping-up?

What is the system model? rp24xx or rp54xx?
You can also check if the PDC and GSP firmware are latest.
