Introduction
This paper is being presented at the West Coast HP3000 Solution Symposium in San
Jose, 25 April 2003
The purpose of this paper is to try to provide basic information how to diagnose system
aborts and hangs.
As the HP3000 winds down it will be advantageous for owners of this system to be able
to perform as much trouble shooting as possible. The amount of trouble shooting will be
limited because source code for the OS is not available outside HP.
It is assumed that readers have good familiarity with the tools DEBUG, DAT and SAT.
The documentation for these tools may be found online at:
