Is it a pretty OLD server??

whats server and hpux version.

You may need to install PHKL_30038

Thanks for helping.

The server is rp3440.

Os version B.11.11

Is this kernel patch is capable to install on Rp3440 ???

[Kapil Jha]

If you read the page I pasted carefully it says

*************
when a device is not present on an IDE channel, random values might be read from the device registers. This causes the IDE driver to attempt to setup a non-existent drive. The setup either fails and a failure message is printed to the dmesg buffer or the setup works and a non-existent drive appears in the ioscan output.
************

Do you have any non-existent drive in ioscan?

So probably this would not harm your server, and yes it can be installed on your machine.

If we not update the kernel patch,we can ignore this right???

ioscan -fn
