Symptoms

A Platinum fault is reported:

Logfile Monitor found matches in (/var/log/messages) for pattern (kernel:.*(error|crit|fatal)) last count (5)

 

A search for such patterns shows following:

egrep -i "kernel:.*(error|crit|fatal)" /var/log/messages*


May 12 13:51:34 localhost kernel: ERST: Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support is initialized.

May 11 15:43:59 myexadm01 kernel: ERST: Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support is initialized.

 

 

Checking the var/log/messages file shows following:

Cause

This fault is due to message:

 ERST: Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support is initialized


 

Solution

No action required.
You can ignore the fault in this case.

This message is just part of the startup initialization routine for paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware and is reported each time this kernel is started.
