Managers,
I received a hard lock of my Alpha server this morning ( ES40/HSZ70 (RA7000)/ 5.1B PK4) Keyboard/consol not responding/no ping/halt button had no effect. hit the restart button on the ES40 and on reboot (firmware check) received mem errors on the LCD then the system stopped booting before I ever got my consol. I then preformed a cold boot of the system with the halt button in to get the SRM. at the SRM I preformed test mem/etc and received no errors. I then continued to boot the system (rc3) with success. I have no errors in any of my OS logs/alert logs/ no core files. The only errors I found were in by binary error log (Below). the errors talk about scsi cam lun0 target1 witch is on my HSZ70. From the RA7000, show shows that the state is good/no errors on this lun/target (R5). Correct me if I'm wrong but scsi cam errors wouldn't cause a system lock. I would think I would at least get a kernel panic out of the deal.
Any thoughts/leads on my issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David Knight

======================= Binary Error Log event =======================
EVM event name: sys.unix.binlog.hw.scsi
Binary error log events are posted through the binlogd daemon, and
stored in the binary error log file, /var/adm/binary.errlog. This
event is used to report all SCSI device errors, including disk,
tape, HSZ raid events and adapter errors.
Action: Use Compaq Analyze or DECevent to read and analyze the
system error log to determine if a SCSI device may need to be
replaced.
