Hi,

Those messages are only the results of the system crash before.

Post the last couple of lines of your /etc/shutdownlog. See if you have any coredump in /var/adm/crash. If so, I suggest you run Q4 analysis against and submit the outputs to HP for further analysis.

Hi

You have look for any core dump for this crash and use Q4 analysis, you can open a case with HP and ship the core file and they would also be able to debug the issue. The /var/adm/crash should have all the core dump files.

As a quick check, check following.

/etc/shutdownlog
/var/tombstones/ts99

Was the crash generated?? Look at /var/adm/crash.
