Patrick Lau — Tue, 20 Feb 2001 04:33:16 GMT

When I boot up the HP9000/L1000 server, it will automatic switch off, after a few hours or even worth is 20 minutes. Anyone know how to find what's going wrong?
A core is located and partial is printed as

Have you checked your system log files? You ought to check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, dmesg and /etc/shutdownlog to see if any of them indicate a reason for the shutdown.

Is it a core file that gets created or a crashdump? If it is a core file do a 'file core' (I think) and it should tell you what generated the core file.

If you find any information in those files, please post it back to this thread as it will greatly help us to try to determine what is going wrong.

The problem seem going worth. I have problem to start up the HP. Can I restart the HP server without un-plug the power cord? Where I can locate the reset/power switch?
Any help welcome.

The power switch is on the front, but if you don't want to use it, connect a terminal to the console port on the back and go into the LAN console. If the LAN console is not yet configured, you don't need a username and password.

Use "he" to find out which commands you can use. I think you can use "rst" to softwarematically power cycle the system.
