    I'm getting an error in one of my p690 LPARs. (Other LPARs in the same box
    are unaffected.
    It's at AIX 5.1.0.0-04 and PSSP 3.4.

    E142C6D4 0715070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter

    This occurs at the same time every day. There's nothing in crontab running
    at that time.

    The detailed error report has a bunch of numbers which don't make any sense
    to me.

    Diagnostics don't reveal any problems.

    Everything seems to be working fine, but it's irritating because the error
    log keeps triggering alarms and of course I'm concerned that maybe there is
    some underlying problem, or something that's in danger of failing.

    The only other errors in the log go back to just before this started, and
    are some temporary errors on a fibre-channel adapter:

    E142C6D4 0421070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter
    825849BF 0420093804 T H fcs1 ADAPTER ERROR
    825849BF 0420093804 T H fcs1 ADAPTER ERROR
    E142C6D4 0420070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter
    E142C6D4 0419070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter
    E142C6D4 0418070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter
    E142C6D4 0417070104 T H sysplanar0 EEH temporary error for adapter
    825849BF 0416153404 T H fcs1 ADAPTER ERROR
    825849BF 0416153404 T H fcs1 ADAPTER ERROR
    D0EAC662 0416153404 T H fcs1 MICROCODE PROGRAM ERROR

    These have not occurred since. (The microcode was updated around that
    time.)

    Can anybody tell me how to find out which particular adapter/slot is
    causing
    the problem, or help me in understanding the meaning of the error?

    Thanks,
