no watchdog notification

Hi All,

I am getting pages from EMS(Event Monitoring Servers) for "no watchdog notification"
I just wonder what cause this and what to look in the system.
this error was generated from production lpar which hosts p570

Thanks

Is your p570 is HMC managed? If so, it might be related to an HMC misbehaving. We had something similar on a p690 when the motherboard of the HMC went a bit odd and kept rebooting the HMC.

I regret you may have to contact your contracted hardware or software support people.

yes, it is managed by hmc

Usually watchdog is responsible to monitor a service and raise an alert within tivoli. So the problem is not the alert itself - you need to find out what caused the alert.

This may be helpful.

This link is not working.
I already tried alog -ot console and errpt did not find any error messages related to tivoli.
If you have any suggestion, please advise.

Thanks
