system reboot without a clue

[QASCO]

Hi All,

My rp5470 rebooted but i dont know why, i came to know about this through uptime, i checked the shudtownlog , nothing was there. is there a way to trace this incident and know why.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Qasco,

You might want to check your /var/adm/crash , syslog.log, OLDsyslog.log, also check to see if you got any cron jobs related to this.

You can also look at the logs in the GSP.......

/var/tombstones also might have some chassis codes you could send to HP for analysis.

Check Chasis logs from GSP so that it would tell you whether Hardware / Software caused reboot. If you don't see any alerts in syslog then syslog daemon may not be running at the time time of reboot.

Hi,
You can check the following.

1. check for the shutdown log for any mssage like "panic" . check whether the recent shutdown was entry is availble(if power outage something shutdownlog will not have the entry for shutdown)

2. Check the OLDsyslog for any error messages. Syslog will not have much infor about past reboot.

3. Check whether /var/tombstones/ts99 has got latest timestamps.

4. Login to GSP check for SL ->Error logs.
This will give clear indication about the shudown if it hadware related issue.

5. Check for the attension LED is glowing. This can be acknowledge by seeing SL errormessages.

Thanks and regards
