Hmm, after summarizing I get more and more answers...
Thanks to Mohamed K.Ahmed and Dr.Tom Blinn.

As usual, Tom has the one right answer:

Our system is an ES40/667 with Tru64 5.1A.
Indeed, shortly after the indictment I can find a correctable
ECC memory error and a crash afterwards with an uncorrectable
error, probably related to an (additionally) defect CPU.

The physical address seems to be simply the memory address of
the defect DIMM, which fits the location I could find with CA.
Using 'hwmgr -status component' does not show this kind of
indictment.

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

Does anyone know what 'Component State Change: Physical
address 6774798528 has been indicted' means ? How can I
find out what component this was ?
