Nikunj,

The message associated with SUN4U-8001-1E is designed to give the one 
and only solution to fix the problem seen by our diagnosis software 
based upon the error symptoms (reports) generated by the system.  The 
problem is that the CPU module is broken due to the observance of a 
level 3 cache tag fault as seen from the fmdump output:

# fmdump -v -u 4f5d5919-2da0-ef25-b2a2-d1c433f2f832
TIME                 UUID                                 SUNW-MSG-ID
May 26 14:14:55.7126 4f5d5919-2da0-ef25-b2a2-d1c433f2f832 SUN4U-8001-1E
  100%  fault.cpu.ultraSPARC-IVplus.l3cachetag
         FRU: hc:///component=SB16
        rsrc: mem:///component=SB16/P2/E0,J6400

There is no need for the admin to scan through the error log as our 
diagnosis software has already done that for you.

In AIX, this is a time-consuming manual process for system admins who 
must issue  additional commands (i.e. 'errpt') to determine what the 
problem and resolution are.
