Dealing With Hpmc (Uncorrectable Error); Pim Action Table - HP Model 745 - VME Workstation Handbook

Dealing with HPMC
(Uncorrectable Error)
The power-on sequence follows this path:
Power-on -> Selftest -> Console Path -> Boot Admin Mode -> Boot Path -> ISL Mode ->
Operating System Mode
When the hardware detects an unrecoverable (HPMC) error in the Operating System envi-
ronment, an error message, referred to as a Kernel Tombstone is displayed on the monitor.
The state of the system is written 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 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 command at the service menu.
To identify the failed FRU(s) after an HPMC, follow these steps:
1 Examine the first line of the data returned from the PIM command to display the latest
error information from the last TOC, LPMC, or HPMC interruption detected.
2 Compare the values from the PIM command with those shown in Table 4-4 and take
the appropriate action.
