where the Crash Dump file is created.

standard in /var/adm/crash
see /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash to configure.

ps /var/tombstones/ts99 and /var/shutdownlog, are also useble to see why a server crashed

hi,

I have 2 servers running oracle RAC. these servers reboot many times and no log at syslog.log or /etc/shutdownlog. no crashdumps collected by system, i have configured /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash and /etc/rc.config.d/crashconf to enable crashdumps collection. but why after server reboot by itself without any log at syslog.log or /etc/shutdownlog, server doesn't collect crash dump? there are no log at oracle too.

I have this issue for about 3 months, till now, these servers still reboot itself without any logs & crashdumps collected.

Why was this answer so valuable to you that you actually bothered to assign points to it?

hi if a server reboots whitout anny logging it can have some causes:
somebody hit's the power switch
ther is a power peek/dip, ore power disconect
depenging on the server a broken power suply

than the system wil have no time to proces anny logs.

ps if you reboot it manualy does you have logging than?

please post a
grep -v ^# /etc/rc.config.d/crashconf
grep -v ^# /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash
to see it is configured corectly

Indrajit: good to see that you at least started assigning points.

Bantul,

You may get something at the MP logs. May be Temp issue....check SL at MP.
