1816.0. "Machine check, ASRV 400, EPIC_SEAR register?" by STP01::STPKPK::stp01::kepke () Fri Jan 24 1997 08:41
Hi,
A customer of mine has a problem with periodically "machine
checks"/"hardware errors" on Alphaserver 400. I has found a very good tool
MCHK_VAX.V35 that told me that the faulty SIMM is in Bank 0, LW0, basing on two
crash info files.
Then I moved the faulty SIMM to Bank 1, LW1 and after the next crash I
received from the tool that the problem is in "Memory or CPU_CARD" and the
"EPIC_SEAR Register contain the failing Address".
EPIC_SEAR = 0x4949b0.
I looked through some notes in the conference about translating this
register, but didn't understand the algorithm (sorry). Who can help me - is this
SIMM faulty? How can I translate EPIC_SEAR to find out the failing address?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Michael.

| 1816.1 | set ho FREEBE for more help. | WRKSYS::BROOKS | | Fri Jan 24 1997 10:33 | 4 |
| You can get a good fault similator by going to
node (set host) FREEBE, user is GUEST. Isolating a bad simm is made
much easier. Good Luck!

| 1816.2 | I did use this program ! | STP01::STPKPK::stp01::kepke | | Mon Jan 27 1997 02:17 | 9 |

Art,
My question was about the MCHK_VAX.V35 that had been taken from node
FREEBE. This program told me to find the failing address in the EPIC_SEAR
register ! How can I translate this register ?
Michael.
