CPU Hog with cpqacmgr.nlm and ASR does'nt restart server

Hi,

My Proliant ML350 G3 with Netware 6SP5 had encountered a CPU Hog with cpqacmgr.nlm, and the server blocks (hung).

The ASR, which is enabled, doesn't restart the server.

What could be the problem with this NLM and with ASR ?

Many thanks, Alain

Re: CPU Hog with cpqacmgr.nlm and ASR does'nt restart server

Alain--
First, can you please check that you are running version 1.06 (most recent version) of CPQACPI.PSM, CPQACA.NLM, CPQACMGR.NLM, CPQACPWR.NLM, and CPQASL.NLM modules. If not, can you please upgrade to those versions. Please note that the ProLiant ACPI drivers are a "matched set" so those drivers must all be the same version number; if you download/run the Component from hp.com ProLiant Driver webpage then you should get all of the correct versions.

If you are already running version 1.06 of those modules, then we would need to see an ABEND.LOG file to have a better idea of what the issue is.

Also: what is the value of the set parameter AUTO RESTART AFTER ABEND ? What is the value of the set parameter CPU HOG TIMEOUT AMOUNT ? When the CPU Hog Timeout ABEND occurs, is NetWare just booting up, has the server been up and running a while, or is it shutting down ? Is this a stand-alone server or is it part of a Cluster ? When the "server blocks(hung)", can you still get into the Kernel Debugger or select the option on the ABEND screen to create an ABEND.LOG and exit/reboot ?

As far as ASR goes, in order for ASR to work, ASR must be enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility *AND* the ProLiant Health driver must be loaded. In order to capture an ABEND.LOG, you may need to disable ASR in RBSU or unload the Health driver. What versions of CPQHLTH.NLM and CPQASM.NLM are loaded ? (If you can get the ABEND.LOG, then this version information should be part of the driver information in that log file which may save you a little time.) ASR not restarting the server is probably a separate issue from CPQACMGR.NLM.

Thanks.

We run alreday in 1.06

The abend.log say:
<<

AUTO RESTART AFTER ABEND = 1
CPU HOG TIMEOUT AMOUNT = 1 minute

This stand-alone server was up since 60 days.

When this server was halted (and not abend), all is blocked (we need to power off/on)

CPQHLTH.NLM 5.07
CPQASM.NLM 1.07

The ASR is set with CPQ Insight Manager.

Many thanks,

Can you please copy/paste the full text of the ABEND.LOG file, including the stack dump for ABEND 3. If the previous ABENDs (ABEND 1, ABEND 2) occurred within ten minutes of ABEND 3, then we need to see those stack dumps also.
Thanks.

The precedent abend appears 6 weeks before.

One of the developers down the hall is already looking into a similar issue, but we may not know anything definitive until after the holidays.
Thanks.
