Additional Information:
    The CPU encountered a problem executing code in GWTSA.NLM.  The problem may be in that module or in data passed to     that module by a process owned by NDMPD.NLM.

- Background:  Server and all associated NLMS have been running fine.  No recent changes made to NOS.  No recent server     apps have been installed.  The server abended within a minute after Veritas BUEXEC loaded.  On 7/6/05 server experienced a recoverable abend at almost the same time as the unrecoverable abend on 7/5.  Below is a partial SYS$LOG.ERR:

 7-05-2005   6:11:57 pm:    SERVER-5.0-4631
   Severity = 3  Locus = 18  Class = 6
   WARNING! Server PPISERV2 experienced a critical error.  The offending process was suspended or recovered.  However, services hosted by this server may have been affected.

Please let me know if you need additional info.

Thanks your your help,

Are you running GroupWise on this server? If so, what version, SP level, and which agents?
Also, is this a clustered server?
What version and build number of Backup Exec is it?

ASKER

GroupWise 6.5.2 MTA & POA are running on this server.  No, it is not a clustered server.
Running Backup Exec 9.10 Rev 1154 (current ver available).

Thanks
NDPS is running on this server, too?  Anything else?

Yes, NDPS Broker V 3.00g.  Also CA eTrust Antivirus 7.1 & NW Printer Server 5.00.  That's about it.  Server CPU utilization averages 8-10%.  Resources do not seem to be a problem.  Plenty of hard drive capacity(mirrored drives).  The BUExec config includes 2 HP SureStore 6000 drives configured as a cascaded pool.  I can email you the section of the Abend.Log as it pertains to this issue so you can see all loaded NLM's if you like.

Thanks
Not sure from where (or why) SMDR is loading .  It is not loaded separately in Autoexec.Ncf and don't see it in the other NCF's loading.  Do you know if it loads as part of the core OS?
