Hi,
ts99 tombstone is normally a hardware fault(HPMC).
Check your system with this in mind.
Look at the GSP log for a start.
We would normally try to work out the problem by going through the output line by line, but I believe HP will give you a hand, if you have a support contract.

Aruns,

Like Peter said, those outputs tends to be complicated, usually somebody with experience will have to show you what are the key things that you want to take a look at, and the people with most experience in those things are the HP guys.

Also if your server is under warranty, I believe the hardware tech will take care of your issue.

Regards,

Jaime.

arun,

You can use this to analyze ts* files:

# /usr/sbin/diag/contrib/mca $tombstone_file > tombstone.mca.txt

Cheers,

Arun ,

The mca command evaluates tombstone file information and provides recommended cause/action statements about the origins of the machine check. Two files are created during command execution: probfile.txt and tracefile.txt

The problem resolution file, probfile.txt, lists likely causes and recommended actions. The results are listed in the order of most to least likely. However, any of the causes are possible. Information logged in probfile.txt is also sent to stdout during command execution.

The trace file, tracefile.txt, contains a complete trace of the scanned file contents as well as a description of what the analyzer
did to reach its results (or what happened if the tool failed to arrive at a conclusion).

Cheers,
Raj.
