Shalom,

That message came up for us regularly on our rp5450 servers. It never led to a system failure. Eventually it went away as we upgrade d firmware and installed regular bi-annual updates. I don't know which actually solved the problem.

hi,

It sounds like you have an L or N class server.

this was fixed with firmware updates so check you PDC firmware level. Its also worth updating the firmware on the GSP aswell.

hi,

just double check my notes and its a gsp firmware update thats needed.

example from patch details

Another possible chassis code "footprint" would be this
Alert Level 13 Error:
************************************************************
Log Entry # 5 :
SYSTEM NAME: HP000001
DATE: 12/15/2002 TIME: 06:06:48
ALERT LEVEL: 13 = System hang detected via timer popping

sorry for getting it the wrong way round

Andy
