Hi Yasser,

Had you checked the MP event logs because this screen is only telling about the event not about the reason. If this issue is reappering then check the firmware level of your MP and contact HP support for upgradation.

No they are in the MP/GSP. You'll have to log into that.

Yes, you need to be on the console to get that MP> prompt.

(I'm not sure if STM would also show you want you want??)

Most of the LOGS are full ...do think that might be one of reason causing it to reset.

I am assuming cause there is not enough space to write, and when it does try to write it kind of dies and resets itself....

Hi Yasser,

check the GSP logs this way.

GSP or MP> SL>E>L

It's always a good idea to keep the system firmware current ;-)

BTW, the event are "informational" so this is no problem. A soft reset for the BMC occurs for example on every reboot.

The logs are FIFO - older entries will be rotated out.

Here is the screen shot what you have suggested...but still its saying the same stuff.

1. My assumption is may be because of other logs are full thats why its happening. Do you think the logs should be over written instead of getting filled up and reports FULL.

2. As suggested by Javinder MP might need firmware update.
