periodic diags error

[rsio]

I have a p615 installed with AIX 5.2 and getting the following error message everyday at 4:05am. Any ideas on what is wrong with my processor?

What does errpt say?

There is no entry in errpt that is related to this event i.e. no entry with same date and time. However, when you execute diag to run the error log analysis and choose to check sysplanar0, the following error is displayed:

(causes are listed in descending order of probability):

Call IBM and tell them the SRN.

Hi,

run "errpt -a > tempfile".
vi this temfile and llok for the sequence number 120,this may provide you with more info.

However,there seems to be a published fix for this:

Thanks for all your replies.

The errprt output does not have any entry for the processor error. The error message only appears on the console screen.

The IBM fix provided by MoshiachNow is for the AS/400 and not a pSeries RS/6000.

Thanks again.

Call IBM.

It may be a fan or power supply problem. They could have told you in a shorter time what the SRN was/is than it took you to login here and type the question; followed by repeatedly checking for replies.
