System Alert on bootup

[Sally Devine]

Hello all,

When I boot this A400, I get the following SYSTEM ALERT. This happens before the OS even loads. I have no idea what it is telling me and I am hoping someone here might be able to decipher it.

Thanks,

ALERT LEVEL 6 = Boot possible, pending failure

REASON FOR ALERT
SOURCE: 8 = I/O
SOURCE DETAIL: 3 = local bus adapter
PROBLEM DETAIL: 6 configuration error

0x2000006683FF2164 000000FF FF01FF83 - type 4 = physical location

0x5800086683FF2164 00006601 1A170D19 = type 11 timestamp

CALLER ACTIVITY: 2 = config STATUS = 4
CALLER SUBACTIVITY: 16 = implementation dependant
REPORTING ENTITY TYPE: 0 = system firmware

Sally,

Did you make any hardware changes?

No, I didn't...and the client says he didn't do anything but change it IP address. Is there something in that error that would point to a hardware address? There seem to be those two addresses but I have no idea how to tell from them where they are in the system.

My first guess would a bad interface or boot disk hence the I/O error.

[Sally Devine]

I did forget to mention that the system does boot up and there are no noticeable problems. However, the boot disk is mirrored so perhaps it could be one of the disks. Is there a way to tell what piece of hardware it is from the addresses?

Thank you,
Sally

Hi SAlly,

The alert being displyed on the console is coming from the GSP. You can view the complete log in the GSP. Go to GSP console and type CL to check the console log. You can modify the alert level notification on the console by typing AC at the GSP prompt.

Hope this helps.

Yes I did get the error from the GSP logs. But I still have to figure out why I get the error at all and where it is coming from.

Thanks,

Your best bet might be to open a hardware call with HP support. They will have all the gsp codes available to them and will be able to quickly identfy the problem. ( At least quicker then me.)

Sally,
To give you an idea what happened: One of your lower bus adaptors bit the dust. (or you have 11i installed and switched it off)
You better contact your HW support

Patrick,

I do have 11i installed. How would it have been switched off?

Thank you,
Sally
