Phantom reboot?
A very odd thing happened over the weekend... the syslog and sulog were reset and restarted, as if a reboot occured. An 'uptime' command on Sunday came back with an uptime of 1 day, also indicating a reboot. But the rbootd.log and STM show no reboot happened. Anyone ever seen this before, or know where else to look? Our application logs show nothing abnormal. Thanks!

Re: Phantom reboot?
Do a "ps -ef |grep init" and see what the timestamp is on the init process. That's a sure indication of a reboot.

Re: Phantom reboot?
Once on the GSP, do a SL, and check for errors. If the machine shut down on its own, chances are you will find an error log in here.

Did a tombstone get created?

Re: Phantom reboot?
As far as I know rbootd is remote-boot-daemon,
but bootpd is BOOT-daemon, ruled by inetd.
So I suppose you had real reboot for
some reason.
Anyway you can use bootpquery for test-needs,
see man bootpquery.
And also it is not a bad idea to edit your shutdown.allow & shutdown.deny files.
Regards,Stan

Re: Phantom reboot?
1) Power supply UPS issues. Check that these are working.
2) Possible security breach. I'd reset the root password, check the wtmp and btmp with the last and lastb commands and be very vigilant.
If physical and network security is good, its more likely to be in the realm of item 1. The prior posts should help you track it down.

Re: Phantom reboot?
I'm not very familiar with using the GSP. What exactly would I do with it to help troubleshoot this?
Thanks again!

Re: Phantom reboot?
to access the GSP, you have to go on your console (LAN, serial, or web). You enter your Service processor login and password. Then you press the Ctrl-B and you are at the GSP prompt. Once there, you type SL to access your Chassis Logs. I would select Errors. On the GSP if you need help, you can always type HE. Once you are done, you type in CO to go back to console Mode.
