Background. OS was updated from 5.5 to 6.0 U3 in February going from and to an HPE customized image. First Purple Screen was last week. Since then I applied the SPP which updated the following:
I did the iLo and BIOS back in Feb.
Yesterday it purple screened again with pretty much the same error
I've noticed that the drives aren't marked as local even though they are so we get a false degraded status:
I tried the solution here but it didn't work:
Its probably not related to the purple screen but its a thread you know? Running out of ideas. Any suggestions would be predicated. I'm not finding much info on Failed to Ack TLB invalidate or the "WARNING: LinScsi: SCSILinuxProcessCompletions:826" error in the log. I've got 3 other servers with the exact same history. One of those purple screened a month ago but i didn't get the error message. The other two haven't had any issues. Any ideas?
Take a look at this gentleman's blog, as it looks like this is caused with using an HP image. You may want to contact HP for verification, however this looks to be a probable issue for you as well. Maybe a bit late, however if anything good knowledge to your issue.
