crash

[jim bidebo]

running hp-ux 10.20

in /var/adm/shutdownlog it says:
reboot after panic: TOC, pcsq.pcoq = 0.eb88, isr.ior = 0.e730

(the hex numbers differs from panic to panic, the ones shown above are from the latest panic)

it doesnt crash that offten... like once a month or so...

does anyone know why?

Take a closer look at the file

/var/tombstone/ts99

this will give you informations
about your crashes
You might post it so we can take a look

what model 9000 is this?
The message indicates that someone or something is causing a Transfer Of Control (TOC).
This could be someone manually performing this task, or it could be hardware, or there is a remote possibility it may be caused by ServiceGuard if you are running MC/ServiceGuard.

Hi Jim,

I agree with Melvyn that it is one of the possibility of TOC.

You should check first /var/adm/crash and then /var/tombstones dirctories whether any files generated... if any, then u should first check whether any chasis codes generated in /var/tombstones/ts99 file and other errors which having CURRENT timestamp... if not, then no need to worry... if any then u should place a call with HP and send this files(core and ts99) for analysis.

Hope it is clear.

Cheers...
Satish.

i found the error... i had connected a serial cable 25 -> 9 ... which wasnt strait.. and somehow it made the mashine crash =/
well well.. problem solved.

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

was probably your console right?
HP-UX doesn't like console failing in mid unix!

Later,
Bill

Your 25 >9 serial cable do you mean not wired correctly ?

Your statement :-
"it doesnt crash that often... like once a month or so... "

Is far to often, a HP server should stay up and running uniil the sysadmin takes it down.
