Recovering from failures
System panics
Step 2. Record the panic message displayed on the system console. Look for text
on the console that contains terms like:
• System Panic
• HPMC
• Privilege Violation
• Data Segmentation Fault
• Instruction Segmentation Fault
Step 3. Categorize the panic message. The panic message describes why HP-UX
panicked. Sometimes panic messages refer to internal structures of HP-
UX (or its file systems) and the cause might not be obvious.
The wording of the panic message should allow the problem to be
classified into one of the following areas:
• Peripheral problem
• Server or I/O card problem
• File system problem
• LAN communication problem
• Logical Volume Manager (LVM) related problem
• Other
