Sysplanar0

[danatural]

Hey all,
I am really new to AIX. I've used UNIX in the past but that was for about a year and a half, and I haven't used it since 98. I have been tasked to take over the System admin duties for a 7025/F50 server running AIX 4.3. I am in need of doing a restore for a few files but can't seem to get the files read in. It seems to just run on an on and on. When I check the error report... I keep receiving a sysplanar0 errer. Looks like this:

BFE4C025 0109092003 P H sysplanar0 UNDETERMINED ERROR

Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW... I'm also new to the forum and it's good to be here. I love the site already. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

3.1 Diagnosing the errlog
Run: diag -> Diagnostics routines -> Problem determination
This selection tests the system and analyzes the error log if one is available.
The output may be:
A PROBLEM WAS DETECTED ON Tue Jun 19 12:59:09 WETƒn2001
801014
TheƒnService Request ƒnNumber(s)/Probable ƒnCause(s)
(causes are listed in descending order of probability):

9CC-100: I/O bus time-out, access, or other error
Error log information:
Sequence number: 30
pci0 FRU: 09P1175 n/a
PCI Bus

This would normally mean a HW motherboard problem (FRU 09P1175)
Using the ¡§sequence number¡¨ (30 ), crosscheck versus errpt - establish the time of this failure:

errpt ¡Va > /tmp/err.log
vi /tmp/err.log

Search for the sequence number ¡§30¡¨ (in this example) .If this specific sequence preceeded the system dump - this FRU (system board in this case) is the reason of the system dumps.
3.2 Running diag via smit
We can further run a physical motherboard diag:
Run: diag -> Diagnostics routines -> System verification ->choose resource
This selection runs the system HW diag on the selected resources :
sysplanar0 00-00 System Planar
oppanel 00-00 Operator panel
mem0 00-00 Memory
proc0 00-00 Processor
L2cache0 00-00 L2 Cache
proc2 00-02 Processor.
And more¡K
3.3 Running manual command
diag -d sysplanar0

TESTING COMPLETE on Mon Jul 16 10:49:40 WET 2001 801010
No trouble was found.
The resources tested were:
- sysplanar0 00-00 System Planar "Long live king Moshiach !"

Thanks so much for your response. The diag came up with this:

A PROBLEM WAS DETECTED ON Thu Jan 9 10:56:37 EST 2003 801014

The Service Request Number(s)/Probable Cause(s)
(causes are listed in descending order of probability):

2BA00000:Refer to the Error Code to FRU Index in the system service
guide.

651-740: Time-out on communication response from Service Processor
n/a FRU: n/a P2-X1


Where would I go from here?

Thanks again.

Hi,

You need to look it up in the F50 service guide:
