Did you check /etc/shutdownlog?

Hi Navin:

You might want to examine the shell history files for 'root' and any other accounts that have been granted the ability to issue a 'shutdown' or 'reboot' command.

what do the MP logs say ?

What model server is this. There was a really really old issue with rp7420s rebooting randomly with little or no log error.

MP firware update fixes this, or was it a PDC FW update ?

Hi

Please check /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log also for any panic or shutdown command.
