You did not mention the server hardware you are using so I will assume it is a Dell Poweredge server. The Dell array configuration software has been a problem going back to NW5.1 and it can cause abends in the HAM. If you are not running a multiprocessor server then as stated above use the correct platform driver. However, the problem could also be that the firmware needs to be updated on the RAID controller. You did not mention when you updated the software and if it just started happening with the ABENDS or not. You may have a situation that updating the HAM will make worse. Check the firmware version as well and you may need to do that. Try one fix at a time and watch for what yields the desired outcome. Just don't start throwing updates at a problem. First analyze what changed and then go from there.
Good Luck.

I found a similar problem on a novell forum, it states that the drivers that Dell provides aren't the latest and greatest:

It is better to retrieve the certified driver perc2.ham from the novell website:

Also make you are using the ACPI platform driver (ACPIDRV.PSM) and not the MPS14 (MPS14.PSM)
