Persistent POST (booting) System Alert message

[Charles Egbon]

Hi Guys,

Good Morning/Noon/Afternoon/Evening & Night!
Please, on my N-Class, I upgraded the CPU to eight (maximum) with a firmware update of 43.43. and Hp-ux 11.11. I have installed PHKL_30512 and other relevant patches.
Anytime I reboot the server, during the power on self test, there is always this “System Alert” message that keep on coming. The message has underneath ‘A/a: ack read of this entry….’ I normally strike key ‘a’ on the keyboard and the booting process will continue, however if I don’t strike key ‘a’ after some few minutes, the booting process will also continue. The excerpt of the alert message is thus:

ALERT LEVEL: 6 =Boot Possible, pending failure – action required

REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 3 = PDH
SOURCE DETAIL: 0 = unknown, no source stated SOURCE ID: 0
PROBLEM DETAIL: 0 = no problem detail

Please, what must I do to solve this problem?

Thanks in antic

Hi Charles,

Isn't there more info in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log? Can you post the last 20 lines of it?

Best Regards,

If I remember correctly PDH is one of the tests that is done at boot time. You may also want to do a SL on GSP and see if there are any errors.

Also following doc explains the details about PDH.
http://docs.hp.com/en/5990-8170A/ch05s28.html

If possible, you can get HP involved.

hi,

Go into the gsp (control b)and read the error logs.
You will continue to get the message until the system is happy you have read and the error logs.
You might need to read the last 6-10 entries to clear the error and stop the amber light flashing on the front of the server if it is.

If that doesnt clear it then check the hardware is all verified correctly proc/mem. Also You would have needed to install the processor support modules for the extra cpu's aswell.

Hi Friends,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have been going through the log and I just can't figure the exact cause of the problem.
Here is the content of the syslog.log:

Hi Charles,

Your syslog.log seems to be normal...

Please do:

#ioscan -fn > ioscan_result.txt

and attach the ioscan_result.txt here when replying.

Best Regards,

Eric Antunes

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your suggestions. The ioscan details are attached herewith.

Cheers.

Charles,

You have a hardware problem with your tape drive. From ioscan:

...
target 1 0/0/1/0.3 tgt NO_HW DEVICE
tape 0 0/0/1/0.3.0 stape NO_HW DEVICE HP C1537A
/dev/rmt/0m /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/0mb /dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/0mn /dev/rmt/c0t3d0DDS
/dev/rmt/0mnb /dev/rmt/c0t3d0DDSb
/dev/rmt/c0t3d0BEST /dev/rmt/c0t3d0DDSn
/dev/rmt/c0t3d0BESTb /dev/rmt/c0t3d0DDSnb
...

When you see NO_HW (NO HardWare) in the "S/W State" column it is because the hardware is no longer responding... So if you'll need the tape for backups, you have to call HP support to substitute it.

Best Regards,

Eric

[Charles Egbon]

Eric,

Yea! once in while, I normally swap that tape drive to do backup in another similar machine.
But, I think that is absolutely by the way. I don't think that should be the cause of the problem.
Or what do you think?

Cheers.

Charles.

[Eric Antunes]

Yes, that maybe the cause of you issue. Aren't those 2 servers in the same network? If yes, you can use the tape of a remote server in the same network with SAM, for example...

Best Regards,

Eric Antunes
