Troubleshooting 4–23
Dealing With HPMC (Uncorrectable Error)
The power–on sequence follows this path:
POWER-ON > SELFTEST > CONSOLE PATH > BOOT ADMIN MODE > BOOT
PATH > ISL MODE > HP-UX MODE
When the hardware detects an unrecoverable (HPMC) error in the HP-UX environ-
ment, an error message, referred to as an HP-UX Kernel Tombstone is displayed on
the monitor. The state of the system is written to main memory and the entire con-
tents of main memory is dumped (written) to the swap area on the system disk.
HPMC error information is logged into Stable Storage; this information is referred to
as PIM (Processor Internal Memory). The HPMC error information is available from
the Boot Administration environment using the PIM_INFO command.
To identify the failed FRU(s) after an HPMC, follow these steps:
1.
Examine the first line of the data returned from a PIM_INFO command to dis-
play the latest error information from the last TOC, LPMC, or HPMC interrup-
tion detected.
2.
Compare the values from PIM_INFO command with those shown in Table 4–6
and take the appropriate action.
