I got a wake up call this morning for our ML350 G3 servers being down. In the HP log it shows
PCI Bus Error (Slot 0, Bus 0, Device 5, function 0)
The system management homepage shows that
Bus 0 - Device 5 - PCI Compaq Advanced System Management Controller
From what I gather, this basically handles the HP logs, and some of the other options typically found under the "Compaq System Tools", but I can not find an extensive description on what it does. Does anyone know?
I want to know what will happen if it totally craps out.
This should hopefully light a fire under finance to give me the money to upgrade this archaic server.

, but I was suggesting that the HP hardware monitor throwing the error (not the hardware driver itself) might have detected a fault it did not have a preset response to, and updating the HP monitoring software might allow the 'real' error to be unmasked.
