Start by taking a look /var/adm/shutdownlog and /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log to see what sort of messages might be associated with these "downs".

Shalom,

Not a lot of useful data in the logs.

Looks like their was some fairly high activity in the sftp/openssh server. Its possible something one of those users did made the system unstable.

I recommend using mstm cstm or xstm to perform a hardware check on the system and check the ilo/gsp logs

Time to make sure you are up to date on patches. And then talk to the Response Center.

Other than AR1207 (what ever that is?) and 3 other patches, it doesn't seem like you have any patches.

Can you list AR1207: swlist AR1207

Here is a link about "How to proactively patch HP-UX systems"
http://www.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/wrap.do?dest=/patch/jsp/WrapCPN.jsp&pageKey=patch.html.propatch

See "patch assessment" and "quality pack patch bundle(s)"

sujit kumar singh — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 07:41:02 GMT

hi yash,

u can have a look at the following link to see for the latest patch bundles.

http://www13.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/releasePage.do?BC=main|releaseIndexPage|&releaseId=0809-11.31

u can upgrade the Patch Bundles to Sep 2008 Release that is the latest patch bundles for 11.31

also this seems that ur system has the Feature11i, HwEnable11i and QPKBase for sep 2007

but ensure that when u install these new patch bundles u have an ignite backup of the existing system.

regards
Sujit

These are not the droids I was looking for. I said to do: swlist AR1207

But this is probably moot since Sujit's sharp eyes saw QPKBASE.

These are aC++ compiler patches, don't worry about them.
