GSP Incoming log

[juan leon]

Hello everyone, I have the following entries in the SL incoming log and they are showing every 10 minutes. I am assuming something is wrong, can somebody help me to read this entries. Some background we upgrade the memory on this server about month ago. This server was rebooted 2 days ago during our monthly reboot.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

ALERT LEVEL: 0 = No failure detected, forward progress

SOURCE: 1 = processor
SOURCE DETAIL: 1 = processor general SOURCE ID: 0
PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 = no problem detail

CALLER ACTIVITY: F = display_activity() update STATUS: 0
CALLER SUBACTIVITY: 00 = implementation dependent
REPORTING ENTITY TYPE: E = HP-UX REPORTING ENTITY ID: 00

0x58E008001100F000 00006A01 15110223 type 11 = Timestamp 02/21/2006 17:02:35

Hi Juan,

What type system?
What OS?
What firmware level?

Looks like a FW bug to me.
In this case, I'd say "no news is good news", but it looks "harmless" to me.

My $0.02,
Jeff

Jeff, thanks for your reply here is the information you requested.

9000/800/L3000-7x
HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800
Firmware Revision B.02.20
--- Apr 14 2003,11:03:46

The thing that bugs me is that this message started occuring over the weekend and repeats every 10 minutes, triggering the attention light on the front panel.
i.e. why is it alerting out-of-the blue?

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi (again) Juam,

My guess would be on OnLine Diag / firmware incompatibility.
If one / either is old - update both.

The "No failure detected, forward progress" tells me that you're in no imminent danger here.
BUT - these type conflicts can lead to "false" problems reported or even - worse - *real* problems unreported.

Rgds,
Jeff

Don't care about the *incoming* messages, there are a lot.

Have a look into the *error* logs:

GSP> sl

Select Chassis Code Buffer to be displayed:
Incoming, Activity, Error, Current boot or Last boot? (I/A/E/C/L)


e


Some errors here?

Hi,

In addition to what torsten said also have a look at EMS log if they are reporting any error or you can go through cstm to check whether there is really any problem. Otherwise i don't see any issue as such since your server is up and runninig.

Hi Juan,

a few things to check,

check the firmware of the PDC on the L3000, just in case the memory upgrade nneds an update.

The latest version is 44.12 available here

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/lpv38355/lpv38355.pdf?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

This does have a fix for erroneous memory errors for example

Also check the GSP error logs for errors aswell, if its hardware error it will show up there. The incoming logs will keep coming if the error logs are not read and actioned on.

Also check in the syslog.log file for any errors


post the outputs if you have any doubts

Andy
