rx2600, OS rebooting by itself

[Phil uk]

Hi,

I can only find that a "soft-reset" occured - but not why it occured.

Is this a new setup that you have configured recently, or is it a machine that has been running in its current config for a long time (ie, same H/W and same OS) which has suddenly had problems?

Which slot is your disk in?

Are you using the correct OS version for the Itanium Platform?

Regards,
Phil

Hi Kanti,

Good Question (Phil):-
>>> Is this a new setup that you have configured recently, or is it a machine that has been running in its current config for a long time (ie, same H/W and same OS) which has suddenly had problems?
==> Because I have go through Ur system previous MP event log I have find out only one time system boot up (10 Nov 2007 22:14:34), then recent MP log analysis report U have try to 18 times system boot_up.

>>> Which slot is your disk in?
==> Ur system disk is plug disk 0 & 1 or disk 2 & 3, please confirm?

>>> Are you using the correct OS version for the Itanium Platform?
==> Four Operating System support: HP UX 11i version 2 (September 2006 Update required for dual core processors); HP-UX 11i version 3; Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition; Linux RHEL 4 U4 AS and ES, and SLES 10; OpenVMS (V8.3 minimum version required), Which one U try to install in Ur system.

==> Before OS install U configure system Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter, because without this U can not install any OS.

Thanksâ Yaqub

We have installed Windows 2003 on it very long time back (about 6 months ago), it was working fine as per the user who used that box.

But the box is not used/touched by any user from the past 2 months.

No hardware modifications done to this box.

There are 2 SCSI disks (36GB 320 15K) in that box, one is in slot 0 and another is in slot 1 . Slot 2 is empty.

U should check Ur controller card (SCSI Ultra320), if possible U change this card & try to install OS.

I have removed the existing two disks and inserted a new disk in slot 0, and I tried to install 11i v2. The installation simply hangs.

Hi,

Are you sure that it hangs...or is the "console" being re-directed elsewhere.

Have you checked any console settings since you started recently using it?

Perhaps it keeps re-setting with windows because of a console path.

What are you using now...VGA, Terminal etc?
