syslog growing with vmunix messages

[pkumar97]

Dear Team,
Our Syslog daemon was down on both our production servers for a long while: when I restarted the daemon on both servers we are getting alert like and the syslog is growing fast. Please have a look on this as soon as possible.

It seems your machine has been up too long and you need to update the firmware:

=> Reports the same errors as that in the dmesg. The syslog is getting filled up.

=> Here the function reported is 0x80278.


# echo "0x80278/i" |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

If the output is mpt like example:
mpt_os_callback:
mpt_os_callback: STD r2,-16(r30)

This function belongs to the mpt driver, and you need to update the MPT drivers as suggested
