RP5470 Hung?

[James Raffeld]

I have a new RP5470 that for the past two mornings appears to be hung. I can not log into the console via hp terminal or lan console. I can log into gsp and check chassis log all is ok and all indicators on system are ok. Cannot telnet to system either, ping does work. With not being able to log into system not sure what else to look at before simply reset the system via the gsp. Any ideas?

Hi,

Can you do an ioscan -fn and give the output?

I like to see if all the hardware is claimed.

Did you involve HP already?

Does ping show any drops or longer response times?

You say it is a new server, so it should have
PHKL_28695 - 11.11 Cumulative VM, Psets, Preemption, PRM, MRG
PHKL_28410 - 11.11 vm preemption point, pdc, vhand performance
PHKL_25212 - 11.11 vm preemption point, mlock/async_io
PHKL_28529 - 11.11 VxFS mmap(2) performance improvement; vhand

or superseding patches installed. If not install them and open a call with HP.

Regards,
Bernhard

Sorry should have given more info....it is running HPUX 11.0 (application required) and has the September patches. Cannot issue any commands as I can not get into the system via either a hardwired console or lan console. Nor can I telnet of ftp the system. I can ping the system with no packets lost an ping times less than 1ms.

Hi James,

I had the same kind of problems with a rp5470 and this patch ( PHNE_27788 )solved it.
Take a look at this:

http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/patchDetail.do?BC=patch.breadcrumb.main|patch.breadcrumb.search|&patchid=PHNE_27788&context=hpux:800:11:00

Bernard is right you should open a call.

Hello James,

I am not sure this is exactly the same problem that you are having, but let me throw this at you. It might be something that you can investigate.

I had a similar problem with an N-class box. The only thing I could do was GSP, I placed a call with HP. I was told to power cycle the box and allow it to boot fully. When it came up to log on and remove the following file:

/etc/ioctl.syscon

Then reboot the system.

It might be something you can investigate. For some reason though, I am thinking this had something to do with not being able to get a command line in single-user mode. I don't have that in my notes, but for some reason that comes to mind.

Anyways, I hope this helps!

thanks all for inputs....reset and reboot the system now getting:



Leaving Console Mode - you may lose write access.
When Console Mode returns, type ^Ecf to get console write access.

Call HP....

Hello James,

Looking at your errors, I would call HP and open a ticket. These are the hex codes in your GSP message. Give them these hex codes from your GSP message and tell them what is happening. They should be able to decode these and let you know what is going on.

0xF8E000C01100B800

0x58E008C01100B800

Hope this helps!
