Crash codes
This section describes AIX® crash codes.
Note: Some systems might produce 4-digit codes. If the leftmost digit
of a 4-digit code is 0, use the three rightmost digits.
The crash
codes that follow are part of an 888 Type 102 message s(see MAP4240 888 error code on HMC LPAR virtual control panel).
These crash codes are grouped into three categories:
- Category 1 - Dump analysis is the appropriate first action in Problem Determination. Call the next level of support.
- Category 2 - Dump analysis most likely will not aid in Problem Determination. Call the next level of support.
- Category 3 - Both software and hardware support might be needed in Problem Determination. Call the next level of support.
