Dear HP Engineer,
about OpenVMS reboot evidence I Checked following files:
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG
SYS$ERRORLOG:CLUE*
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]OPERATOR.LOG
My question:
Is there any other files that I can check to see when the cluster or single node was rebooted??
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
However - you can look in the system error log.
The tool you do that depends on which VMS version and platform you are running.
I would expect there to be a new OPERATOR.LOG on a boot.
STARTUP.LOG - depends on the setting of system parameter STARTUP_P2
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
$ write sys$output F$getsyi("boottime")
22-JUL-2009 18:49:05.00
The cluster was formed at:
$ write sys$output F$Getsyi("Cluster_Ftime")

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
Thanks for reply, by the why, I need to know if the machine was rebooted on a specific date (April 13/14/15, 2009) and for sure during this last months machine was rebooted a lot of times!!! So boottime doesn't help me! :(
Also OPERATOR.LOG was purged since last week!!
STARTUP.LOG help me, but is there any other reboot evidence??

As Ian said, check the error logfile
( SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS ). You might need WEBES to do so; or use ANALYZE/ERR/ELV.
Normally, (re)boot events are recorded there.

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
Kris,
unfortunately ERRLOG.SYS was purged too:
Directory SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSERR]
ERRLOG.LIS;1 108/112 27-OCT-2008 09:19:15.03
ERRLOG.SYS;1 892/896 1-AUG-2009 00:05:34.59
ERRLOG_MONTH_06.SYS;1 145/160 1-JUL-2009 00:02:16.62
ERRLOG_MONTH_07.SYS;1 3328/3328 1-AUG-2009 00:03:21.12
So if need to check April I don't think I can find it on ERRLOG.SYS or previous files.
An HP Engineers advice me to use following methods:
Audit Server or ACCOUNTING
But I don't know how to use it and actually this engineer is unreachable! :(
By the way using

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
If you have the resources to allow it, set yourself up to do at least a selective crash dump. If it is due to a bugcheck, you'll get enough to come back here with specifics.

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
This could be in a different place than SYS$ERRORLOG:CLUE*, depending on local configuration.
IF your CLUE is running correctly during boot, after creating the CLUE..nodename.lis it should also write a one-line entry in this clue$history file (show logical clue$history)

Re: OpenVMS reboot evidence...
To avoid this for the future, you could write very small procedure and put it somewhere in startup files to write/append to a file that system has booted, even if there is no sysdump.
Much better would be if you had the serial port OPA0 (com1) connected to some remote node running a monitoring/logging software like Console Manager or Cockpit Manager.
