Hi

You could also check

1) /var/tombstones/ts99 -- while system crashes due to hardware.
But, you need decoders to read those file.

2) MP logs -- May need PIM decoders.

Thanks & Regards

The answer depends on what changes were made to a standard installation of HP-UX. By default, hardware errors will be logged not only in the stm logs but also in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Almost all hardware failures result in problems with the system (it will crash or programs will abort because a tape drive doesn't work).

In addition to the logs mentioned, the EMS HW monitors also send email to root for critical severity events.

You can see details of IO errors in STM, using the 'logtool' option.
