hi,

your PDC firmware needs to be upgraded:

these commands will provide latest PDC version:

# grep -i pdc /var/tombstones/ts99
or
# /usr/sbin/diag/contrib/pdcinfo

and reply on the current version.

regards.

But is that the reason of my machine going down, i am not seeing any errors in syslog pertaining to that.Is that message indicate something.

[Joseph Loo]

did u check the last few lines in /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log to see what may have happen prior to the reboot?

# tail -n 30 /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log

regards.

Manu,
Also check the /etc/shutdownlog.
It gives you the reason for system going down.

yes , there is no error or something significant there , it has only some user deleted some files .Lot of lines for the same .

Hi manu,

if your system is rebooting without an apparent reason then you should analyze the dump in order to search the problem!

Anyway Joseph said right about that message, message in syslog.log is about firmware. You should update firmware as soon as possible. It depends from model of your machine.

HTH.

Best regards,
Ettore

The pat_get_olar_info message indicates you need to update your firmware on the machine.

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do
Find individual patches --> firmware
Step 2: Enter your model
For example N4000 (click search)

To determine why your system is rebooting, check the /etc/shutdownlog. If there is no entry that corresponds to when your system reboots, then this should also be resolved by the firmware upgrade. If the firmware update does not, then suspect some sort of hardware issue.
