spontanious reboot


I -never- in all these years watched a spontanious reboot.
I also thought Solaris would not let that happen.
That was a bit naive I think.
It happened.

Strange thing is I can't find anywhere in the logs what caused it.
Shouldn't be there some kind of info?

Any ideas on causes? Heath maybe?

Those are almost always HW related in my experience.

Hmm, that does not sound good. Although is only happened once it kind
of ask of me to take action. What would be a good starting point to
investigate my hardware?

Make sure the CPU heatsink is clean and check that all fans works.
Don't forget to suspect the power supply ;-)

In the only case I've seen this sort of packaging problem, there were 
disk errors and the filesystem (UFS) was corrupted. I had to reinstall 
the box, but this time with mirrored boot disks :-)

Cheers,

Chris

Had seemingly random reboots with no log messages on an Ultra 20.
Turned out to be a memory problem.

Also, make sure your memory is certified for/compatible with your mobo
(i had horrible problems with some otherwise good memory but which had
"issues" with my mobo, i changed the memory to a "certified" one and
the problems went away). Your mobo manufacturer should have this info
available.

You could also run memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/ and see if
anything pops up.

blastwave

Blastwave used to update its stable brach every three months or so.
The latest stable branch for x86 solaris 10 however is still dated
April 7, 2008 11:22:39 PM UTC

I expected un update in july ;-)

Does somebody know if Blastwave is still active and working on a (new)
stable branch or are they busy involved in the devleopment of packages
for OpenSolaris?

This post, and others similar to it, really confused me.

From what I can tell, it's important to set tcp_listen on the global
zone's x11-server, while (un)setting the UDP port on the guest zone's
cde-login. I kept trying to change both on the guest zone.
