ATTN Light comes on after reboot

[Douglass Anderson]

I have a T520 with HPUX 11i V1.

When I reboot I get an ATTN Light.
See attached Tombstone.

How can I stop the ATTN Light from coming on?
What is it complaining about?

Hi

You can clear it from your MP console / GSP login.

On your console, CTRL B and login to the MP console.

Then select S L and read the logs and the ATTN light will go away.

I don't remember most details about this "box", but if the OS is running, can you see any related message in syslog, dmesg or diagnostics?

To all who want reply:

There is no GSP or MP here.

This box is a "bit" older, docs are here:

You should try to find the reason for that warning, this document may guide you and give a little help:

Beins the system still boots fine I would assume this CRITICAL message is not really critical. If D1 or HP cannot help and it is really important to get this to go away.

Review the installed HW with the system config, specifically Bus converters, CPUs and memory cards. If you do a physical inventory and there are devies marked active that are not in the server then deactivate them and reboot. See if message goes away.

Be careful not to deactivate known good HW else you will have bigger problems.

Doug,

Is there anything in dmesg or syslog?

If you can run cstm, try and find any logs for hardware in there as well and post the results.

Hi,

As stated above you can do a CTRL B and login to the MP and then chose SL to check the evenlogs and see if something is complaining.

The tombstone above shows the vague error.
The dmesg show the following
