Never seen this one before! mpc_bindlwp message in syslog

[Byron Myers]

N4000 4-way, HP-UX 11.0. syslog messages: "vmunix: mpc_bindlwp: Overriding conflicting mandatory binding!" Then a number of messages like: "vmunix: mpc_bindlwp: Migrating process 24567 from processor 1 to processor 0". All messages move processes from processors 1,2,or 3 to processor 0. Any ideas what this means?

Hi Byron,

See this link:

Appears you may need patch PHKL_21420 (or it's supersede) to clear this up.
It's due to non-MP-safe-calls being made to CPUs other than 0.

HTH,

Applying the patch PHKL_26001 might resolve this issue. A possible reason for this message can be found from TKB #KBRC00003518:

Installing patch PHKL_21420 should solve your problem. We too get the same errors. Make sure that patch PHKL_18543 is installed before you install PHKL_21420.
