Server reboot or shutdown
Hi all,
I am using HP workstation B2600 as a server and i have some serious problems.
My server sometimes reboot by itself or other times shutdown and i have to manually reboot him.
I checked the following log files:
/etc/shutdownlog
/var/adm/OLDsyslog
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
/var.adm.crash
/var/tombstones
but i can't find any errors, or system restart.
Please if anyone can provide me a answer about the issue.
Thanks in advance

Re: Server reboot or shutdown
If there are no entries in /etc/shutdownlog that correspond to the times that the server has shutdown/rebooted then you may have power problems of some sort.
If the system simply loses power somehow then there is no time to shutdown the OS and write entries to shutdownlog.
Is the system attached to a UPS? If so, check the UPS logs and see if there are any power outages. If it is not attached to a UPS I would do that first and see if that helps.

Re: Server reboot or shutdown
Hi Patrick,
All the servers that we have are on UPS and we did not have any power outages in the last 3 weeks.
In /etc/shutdownlog the only entries are the following:
10:26 Tue Dec 04, 2012. Reboot: (by hpsce3!root)
08:28 Thu Dec 06, 2012. Reboot: (by hpsce3!root)
I had restarted the server, because i had some changes in netconf file.
Best regards,
Spyros

Did you see messages in the front panel when it was off, e.g. fan failure (hard to see, because the panel may be very dark)?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Server reboot or shutdown
While booting up you see the various selftests in the front panel. As long as you don't see FLT all is good.
But if the system goes down unexpectely, e.g. because of a failed fan, the message may help.
I repeat the example of a failed fan, because this could be a likely reason. Let's say a fan is going to fail, some rounds per minute less and it is considered to be failed, some rpm more and it is ok for the system.
Since fans are not redundant, system will go down.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Server reboot or shutdown
Hi Torsten,
The messages, that i wrote in my last mail, are messages that i saw while the server tried to boot up and the selftests stopped at that messages. Then i had to reboot it by myself.
That is the first situation. The second is that the server boots up correctly after an unexpectely reboot.
How can i check if a fan is going to fail or maybe a ram??
