Hi Siva,

You can find more information about H/W paths at http://docs.hp.com/en/AB379-96001/ch01s12.html

When you get a core, analysis with file and adb. It should give where exactly it got core.

HP-UX runs on hundreds of different models and the hardware path is unique to each model. So the two references may be of some use but not if you have an older machine. Your system's hardware reference manual should have the I/O slots referenced. What model computer do you have?

As far as an O.S. core dump (which is a system crash), there are thousands of ways it can crash. The cause could be bad hardware, a bad program that modifies kernel memory, or lack of patches. Of all the reasons for a system crash, lack of current patches is the most common reason.
