I have hp workstations model-9000/735/99, installed hp-ux 10.20 being used for design and modeling of vehicle part.

When I am telneting to this machine or try to open new window than it takes lot of time to get through. Below is the error message from syslog.log file.

what could be the possible reason for the problem & how to solve it.

Hi Sudhir,

It sounds as if it might be a disk problem.
The example from the syslog file shows September - has it been a problem since then?

If it is a disk problem then I think the only solution would be to replace the disk. I suggest calling a hardware engineer.

hi,
it seems that particular disk is not responding .
shutdown the system and reconnect that disk.
you can see that particular disk's status led
will be glowing continously.
