Recovering from a System Panic
Procedures for Recovering from a System Panic
Step 1: The Panic Message
In a log book, record and categorize the panic message displayed on the sys-
tem console. The panic message will tell you why the operating system pan-
icked. Sometimes panic messages refer to internal structures of HP-UX (or
its file systems) and the cause might not be obvious. Generally, the problem
is in one of the following categories, and wording of the message should
allow you to classify it into one of them:
Step 2a: Recovering from Hardware Failure
If the panic message indicated a hardware failure, the text or context of the
message should indicate what piece of hardware failed.
If the hardware failure appears to be associated with a peripheral, ensure that
its cables are tightly connected to their proper locations and that the device is
powered on, and in an “online” state. If there is an error indicated on the
device’s display:
1 Record the error message(s) in your log book.
2 Turn the device off.
3 If the device is a disk drive, wait for it to stop spinning.
4 Turn the device back on.
