The most important part is Page Deallocation Table (PDT) . You can see here that in
this case are 2 of 50 are used. You can also see that page 0x00044ff has 799 er
rors (this can be rough).
Another way how to check SBE is:
cstm

ru
choose logtool
viewdet or viewdealloc
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------So the general howto to solve such types of cases is:
Always open a HW call, at least for qualification so we avoid any unexpected sys
tem crashes.
