I got a crash dump on a Integrity server.
I run VMS8.3-1H1.
What does this mean "System ASSERT failure detected?"
Has anyone also had this problem?

Solutionthis is a software problem in the XFC code (eXtended File Cache).
Could you attach the full CLUE file (CLUE$COLLECT:CLUE$NVR_12MAR2010_0845.LIS file as an attachment ?
The most recent XFC patch is VMS831H1I_XFC-V0200 (released 06-NOV-2009), you don't have this patch installed. Please consider to upgrade to the most recent UPDATE patch for OpenVMS I64 V8.3-1H1.
Volker.

Re: Bugcheck Type: ASSERTFAIL, System ASSERT failure detected
typo correction, the CLUE file should be:
CLUE$COLLECT:CLUE$NVR_12032010_0845.LIS
VMS831H1I_UPDATE-V0700 contains VMS831H1I_XFC-V0200, which is the most recent available patch for XFC.
An ASSERTFAIL crash is not included in the list of 'problems fixed' for that ECO, but - even if you escalate this crash to HP now - you'll probably be asked to 'install the most recent patch'.

Re: Bugcheck Type: ASSERTFAIL, System ASSERT failure detected
no obvious problems in the CLUE file. Just a software crash in XFC.
Please open a call with HP and be prepared to be asked for installing the most recent patches.

Re: Bugcheck Type: ASSERTFAIL, System ASSERT failure detected
XFC does a lot of consistency checking in its code and the moment it detects any inconsistency it initiates a inline bugcheck "ASSERTFAIL, System ASSERT failure detected" to crash the system.
>> I have uploaded the clue fie.
I had a quick look at the clue file and the following are my findings -
When XFC was trying to DEQ a lock associated with a file (most probably the lock here is associated with a file, however it can also be a lock associated with a volume, need the crash dump to know exactly whether it's a file or volume) it got SS$_IVLOCKID error. The error handling code for SS$_IVLOCKID error needs a XFC context block to proceed. However in certain scenarios, XFC does
not pass a context block to this routine. It's in these scenarios that XFC crashes the system when it gets a SS$_IVLOCKID error.
We need the full crash dump in order to get further clues as to why XFC got a SS$_IVLOCKID error while it was trying to DEQ a lock.
