decoding GSP Alert Level and error code

[Erich_1]

Hello,

when i boot my server i become following message:


memory test 71A3
memory test 71A4
***** EARLY BOOT VFP : SYSTEM ALERT *****
SYSTEM NAME: suxdw101-console
DATE: 12/18/2006 TIME: 09:39:36
ALERT LEVEL: 15 = Fatal hardware or configuration problem prevents operation

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

LEDs: RUN ATTENTION FAULT REMOTE POWER
FLASH FLASH ON ON ON
LED State: Boot Failed. Running non-OS code. Non-critical error detected.
Check Chassis and Console Logs for error messages.

0x000000F0110016B0 1C000000 00000224 - type 0 = Data Field Unused
0x580008F0110016B0 00006A0B 12092724 - type 11 = Timestamp 12/18/2006 09:39:36



How can i decode alert level from GSP and the code 0x2000206A71FF1D23 ?

I seems that an memory is not valid. Can i see the HW-Slot from the defektive memory in the error code?

Can i translate the address "71A4" ?

erich,

to tell you exactly which slot is having a problem you need to look at the next error in the gsp log

this gives you the physical location field and can be worked out from there.

Also what server is it?

from GSp type co to go to main menu at PDC and from here type in me
example
MA > in me

this will give you information regarding memory slots and which has failed or incorrectly seated

Processor 0 has a power problem, it is Non-critical error.

SOURCE DETAIL: 1 = processor general SOURCE ID: 0

The RUN, ATTENION, FAULT, REMOTE and POWER LEDs are all lit.

LEDs: RUN ATTENTION FAULT REMOTE POWER

The hex code message from GSP > SL should be the equivalent text message displayed above.


These messages appear to be from an integrity server. Can you verify the model and check the GSP > SL > error logs?

Also, from the main menu type in 'PR' for processor information for details.

Regarding memory test 71A4, its just a non-disruptive READ, WRITE or READ/WRITE firmware memory test, number 71A4, 71A5, 71A6.
