I'm dealing with an unusual case here and I'm not sure how to proceed. I have a DL385 G5 running Solaris 10 10/08. We have dozens of the exact same setup, without any problems. This particular machine however reboots constantly, without any rhyme or reasonтАФsometimes once a month, sometimes four times a day. The OS has been patched, the firmware has been updated. There are no logs detailing what may have happened (actually it looks like the OS didnтАЩt even know it was happening, which makes me think itтАЩs hardware-related).
IтАЩve played this game before where HP support blames Sun and Sun blames HP, so I thought IтАЩd ask you folks before subjecting myself to that again. IтАЩm not sure what to do now, so any advice would be great. Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionJust a stab in the dark, but have you checked the iLO logs as well? If it's hardware related, the iLO will state why the reboot was triggered. You should be able to save (or at least copy-paste) the iLO log entries so we can better help you diagnose the server.

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
For whatever reason we've never used iLO on these machines. I suppose I can set it up on this particular machine to see if the logs capture anything.
Any other ideas?

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
Also could be a heavy load on the server triggering ASR time-outs.

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
1) do you have something in IML log?
2) latest PSP installed?

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
Well I noticed some POST notifications regarding power supply 2, so I removed this unit in the hope that was my problem. Since I can't replicate the restarts, I had to wait to see if it would reboot again. Unfortunately, the server did reboot today. Nothing new in the iLO logs, and nothing at the OS level (core, crash dump, logs, etc). So I think I'm back to where I started.
IML logs do not reveal anything helpful. Not sure what you mean by PSP.
Thanks for the help.

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
The ILO reboot issues were as much Windows drivers as the firmware itself - though v1.82 appears to be pretty stable.
I'd be looking at memory - I've had a number of instances where a memory DIMM started going bad and caused unexplained reboots until it finally got bad enough it triggered SIM.

Re: DL385 G5: Unexplained Reboots
I opened a ticket with HP and they had me do the following:
1. Insert the SmartStart CD into the DVD/CD-ROM drive.
2. Shut down the operating system, and turn off the server.
3. Turn on the server. The system boots from the SmartStart CD.
4. From the Maintenance Utilities menu, select Server Diagnostics.
5. Click the Test tab.
6. Select the type of test to perform as Complete.
7. Select the mode of testing to perform: Unattended or Interactive.
8. Set a minimum of at least 15 loops to test the server thoroughly
9. Click Begin Testing to start the test
I had done this test before and did not find any issues. However, Support had me run the test through 15 loops and apparently that did the trick. The test found that there is a memory dimm failure. I replaced the memory, ran the test again, and the problem appears to be resolved.
