Dealing with HPMC (Uncorrectable Error)

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 environment, an error message,
referred to as an HP-UX Kernal Tombstone is dis-
played on the monitor. The state of the system is writ-
ten to main memory and the entire contents of main
memory is dumped (written) to the swap area on the
system disk.
HPMC error information is logged into Stable Stor-
age; 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 display the latest error informa-
tion from the last TOC, LPMC, or HPMC interruption
detected.
2 Compare the values from the PIM_INFO command with
those shown in Table 8 and take the appropriate action.
