10 Dealing With Problems 10-1
Dealing With Problems This chapter contains information to help you determine what’s wrong with your system when you have problems. If you have a problem that isn’t listed in this chapter, or if your problem persists, contact your designated service representative. When calling for service, always have your system model number and serial number ready.
Dealing With Problems Interpreting the LED Indicators Interpreting the LED Indicators For information about the board computer’s LED displays, please refer to the owner’s guide shipped with your board computer.
Dealing With Problems Managing a Boot Failure Managing a Boot Failure The boot program is located in the firmware of the Model 743/744. You can configure the behavior of the boot process by interacting with the boot console handler. See the appropriate owner’s guide for your board computer for procedures to deal with the boot console handler. If you have indications that the boot process has failed, check the following items.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Recovering from a System Panic A system panic simply means that the operating system encountered a condition that it did not know how to respond to, so it halted your system. System panics are rare and not always the result of a catastrophe. They sometimes occur at boot if your system previously was not shut down properly. Sometimes they occur as the result of a hardware failure.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic NOTE: It is important to maintain an up-to-date backup of the files on your system so that, in the event of a disk head crash or similar situation, you can recover your data. How frequently you update these backups depends on how much data you can afford to lose. For detailed information on how to back up data, see the manual System Administration Tasks.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Other problems may result from faulty configuration of the Mode Configuration area of the Boot Console Handler. If you have boot problems, check that the following areas use their default values: • Current mode is “USER” (default mode).* • FASTBOOT is set to “NO” • TEST CONFIGURATION includes GRAPHICS 1, GRAPHICS 2, and HIL, if used.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic If the hardware failure appears to be associated with a peripheral, ensure that its cables are tightly connected to their proper locations and that the device is powered on, and in an “online” state. If there is an error indicated on the device’s display: 1 Record the error message(s) in your log book. 2 Turn the device off. 3 If the device is a disk drive, wait for it to stop spinning. 4 Turn the device back on.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic Proceed to Step 3, Rebooting Your System. Step 2d: Recovering from Other Situations When you suspect the problem was something other than the above (or when you do not know where to classify it), proceed to Step 3, Rebooting Your System. In this case, it is especially important that you write down the exact text of the panic message, just in case you need it for future troubleshooting or help from HP service personnel.
Dealing With Problems Recovering from a System Panic If the reason your system panicked was because of a corrupted file system, fsck will report the errors and any corrections it makes. If the problems were associated with your root file system, fsck will ask you to reboot your system when it’s finished. When you do this on an HP-UX system, use the following command: reboot -n The -n option tells reboot not to sync the file system before rebooting.
Dealing With Problems Dealing with Network Failures Dealing with Network Failures If the program you have been running uses resources from a local area network (LAN) and it stops unexpectedly, the following may help locate the source of the problem: Table 10-3 Problems with the Network Problem Action No systems respond to the /etc/ping hostname command. • Check the network connection on the panel of your board computer. Make sure that the cable is securely fastened to the connector.
