Fatal Error reported by PCI-PBM on Blade 2000
Dave
10 update 6) has just rebooted itself. I see on the console:
Fatal Error reported by PCI-PBM
dmesg shows nothing much. There are a few messages up to as late as
18:00:00 on Jan 10th, then nothing until it reboots at 01:04:19 on the
11th Jan
I've seen a few people suffer this before (one on a Blade 2000), but
does anyone know what causes it? Luckily it has only happened once (so
far), but I've no idea why it occured. I'm concerned there might be an
issue which needs resolving.

I haven't a clue what's going on but I would replace that QLogic card if
I had a spare handy. If no spare, I'd get a spare!

From what I understand, those 'qlc' messages are nothing to worry
about, as it is just power control cutting in/out.
I don't think there are any Qlogic cards in the machine. There might be
a SCSI card, but I don't think there is. (Cant recall, and cant be
bothered to look on the back, as it not so easy to get at).

I posted my query about the 'qlc' messages issue a week or so ago:

I am having a similar issue on my SunBlade 1000, but mine happens
frequently enough as to make the machine unusable as a workstation.
Specs are:
2 x 1.2ghz cpu
6gb ram
2 x xvr1000
2 x 73gb fcal drives
sun crypto 1000
If anyone is interested, I do have an OpenBSD 4.4 DMESG of this box
available.
I did double check the obp, and I do have revision 17 of the patch
(111292-17) installed.
It is a fresh install of Solaris 10u8 with all patches allowed by a
non paid sun account (no paid service contract).
I have disabled power management, and that appears to have little or
no effect on the system spontaneously rebooting and reporting the
"Fatal Error reported by PCI-PBM" . Occasionally the letters CPMS
append the error, but not always.
I have seen this error posted as having originated on a SunFire 280R
as well, so from what I understand, it can not be something
framebuffer, at least the XVR-1000, related since the XVR-1000 does
not even fit in the 280R with the RSC being installed.
To answer some other posts I have seen, there is a qlogic "card" in
this machine, but it is builtin to the motherboard. There is also a
SCSI card, but again, it is builtin to the motherboard.
