Hi,

These are messages from envd.

The envd daemon provides a means for the system to respond to environmental conditions detected by hardware. Such responses are
typically designed to maintain file system integrity and prevent data loss.

envd logs messages and then executes actions when a supported environmental event is detected. Whether to do message logging and
what actions to perform for a given environmental event are determined by configfile (default is /etc/envd.conf). If no -f option was specified and the default configfile /etc/envd.conf does not exist,
envd fails. A recommended default configfile is available in /usr/newconfig/etc/envd.conf. The configfile (or /etc/envd.conf) is
only examined when the daemon is started or when it receives a SIGHUP signal to restart and re-initialize the daemon itself.

These messages are pretty unclear, and looking corrupted.

I would stop and start the envd, and maybe syslogd as well.

you may want to have a look at syslogd patches, like

2 PHCO_26018 s700_800 10.20 cumulative patch for syslogd(1M)
2 PHCO_26813 s700_800 11.00 cumulative patch for syslogd(1M)
1 PHCO_27772 s700_800 11.11 cumulative patch for syslogd(1M)

To see your current version eg
#what /usr/sbin/syslogd
or
#swlist -l file | grep /usr/sbin/syslogd
