Checking for hardware errors

The following types of hardware error messages indicate problems that may lead to database corruption:

•Disk read, write, or retry errors

•Timeouts

•System panics

•Memory problems of any type

Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file on a regular basis. You can view the file directly, or you can use the HP-UX dmesg command. See your operating system documentation for more information.
