D320 crash

[David Lockwood]

We have a D320 running HP-UX 11.00. It has crashed with the error code BF00 on the LCD. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Thanks

BF00 is a system panic.

There is a document called "using q4" in the ITRC that will tell you how to pre-process your dump for HP to troubleshoot it.

One of the steps in that document is to run the command "trace event 0" from the q4> prompt.

If you posted that here, we might be able to find a match if its a known problem.

Otherwise you will likely need to open a SW call with the HP Response Center.

Best regards,

is a list of D-Class error codes.

Bxxx indicates OS panics, but I see no BF00.

When did it crash? During boot? Will it come up?

[Kent Ostby]

Jon -- BF00 and B800 are generally synomous codes for "system panic".

[melvyn burnard]

what does your /etc/shutdownlog say?
is there any crashdump saved under /var/adm/crash? if so, what does the panic string in hte INDEX file say?

[David Lockwood]

Thanks for all the requests for additional information. The panic has been diagnosed to a faulty DLT drive in our tape library. /var/adm/syslog/syslog was reporting a lot of SCSI: Unexpected Disconnect -- lbolt errors. Removing the DLT drive from the SCSI chain has stopped the panics.

Thanks all.
