During boot machine, the detail message from A500 server booting is attached below:

***************SYSTEM ALERT****************

This message is displayed after server booted from it's self. If I boot from the HP-UX 11.0 CD, the error message is

"memory full"

Have a close look at the scsi devices and see what is on ID 0. It looks like either the device on ID 0 is gone bad or see if the terminator is connected in this bus.
And then try booting up.

See if there any messages relating to this in /var/opt/resmon/log/event.log
This is the log that 'EMS' uses.

Looking at the message, it seems that there is either a disk or SCSI problem. You could also use the 'stm' tools to run exercises on your hardware.

Your A500 can not boot from this disk. Try the following:
- check is 'sea' PDC command sees disk. If not - replace disk;
- install from scratch from Core OS CD;
- if it will give you an error call HP and replace this disk.
If you have mirror for this disk you can boot from mirror copy with no quorum
