Greetings to all my fellow Alpha managers!
A very strange problem is occuring on one of my Alpha servers. The
machine is a DEC 8400 Model 5/300 with dual CPUs (type 7000). It will
run fine for days at a stretch, but will eventually panic, crash and
then reboot.
The exact message and sequence of the problem occurs as follows:
1) Message: Panic (cpu10): fill_tlsb_can't_translate address of CPU
2) Almost exactly five minutes later, the machine will crash, then
reboot (error event message is recorded before crash).
Some additional details (don't know if they are relevant or not!):
- The first CPU (master) is located at slot 10, the second CPU is
located at slot 11.
- Both CPUs are part of the default processor set (0).
Does anyone with multi-processor machines have any insight as what this
problem is or why it is occuring?
Should the first CPU be installed in slot 10? (The machine was
configured before I got this job, so I don't have any idea as to its
"correctness").
I've looked everywhere for a reference to "fill_tlsb" and can't find a
thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will summarize.
Jay
