how to check Chassis code

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

This morning, on VFP pannel of my RP2450 the fauld LED was FLASH. then I checked /var/adm/syslog/sylog.log and dmes. The output look seem normal. Then i check GSP. and these are output
______________________________________________
GSP> vfp


VFP

This command activates the immediate display of the Virtual Front Panel.

LEDs: RUN ATTENTION FAULT REMOTE POWER
ON FLASH FLASH OFF ON
LED State: System Running. Unexpected Reboot. Non-critical Error Detected.
Check Chassis and Console Logs for error messages.

=============
My question is that how do I analyse chassis-code(what is F02F meaning). and does I/0 have problem? (function failure)

[melvyn burnard]

F02F means you have a system that is running the OS, has very little run queue, 2 processors, so all should be aok.

This is the important bit:
LED State: System Running. Unexpected Reboot. Non-critical Error Detected.
Check Chassis and Console Logs for error messages.


Get a hardware call logged with your local HP Response Centre and have the logs checked, also check /etc/shutdownlog and see if you had a panic dump placed in /var/adm/crash. Also check the /var/tombstones directory and look in ts99.

Hi,

I would also suggest to open a hardware call, because it seems that an HPMC (High Priority Machine Check) has happened. After a catastrophic failure detected by a CPU or the Memory/IO Controller, the HPMC is automatically initiated. During the HPMC, all CPU, IO and Memory Controller Registers are read and stored in the non volatile memory (NVM) on the System Board. The logs you provided, simply tells you that Registers from the I/O Controller on the Systemboard were read during the HPMC routine, but they do not tell us anything about the cause of the HPMC. I'm sure there are other GSP logs with higher alert level, because after the HPMC is processed, the machine usually crashes with a system panic to avoid data corruption.
During the bootup, the data stored in the NVM is automaticlly read out and stored to /var/tombstones/ts99.
The HP support should be able to analyze this file and hopefully the information is sufficient to determine a cause for the HPMC.

best regards

Stefan
