Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
reboot system boot Mon Aug 23 04:28 still logged in
reboot system boot Thu Jul 29 08:49 - 04:28 (24+19:39)
reboot system boot Thu Jul 29 08:22 - 08:49 (00:27)
Found the following repeating alarms in the syslog and mail.log before the reboot:
Aug 23 02:53:00 s7s214 above message repeats 7 times
Aug 23 02:53:01 s7s214 tftpd[1024]: Access from 172.30.58.248 denied.
Aug 23 02:53:10 s7s214 tftpd[1024]: Access from 172.30.58.248 denied.
Aug 23 01:27:00 s7s214 sendmail[12511]: unable to qualify my own domain name (s7s214) -- using short name
Aug 23 01:27:00 s7s214 sendmail[12511]: be sure to set domain name in Dj macro in sendmail.cf
Aug 23 01:27:00 s7s214 sendmail[12511]: BAA12511: from=root, size=256, class=0, pri=30256, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201008222227.BAA12511@s7s214>, relay=root@localho
Then the server rebooted:
Aug 23 03:12:00 s7s214 sendmail[16745]: DAA16743: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/3), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent
Aug 23 04:29:26 s7s214 /sbin/init.d/sendmail[1145]: #### rebooted ####
Aug 23 04:29:26 s7s214 sendmail[1158]: unable to qualify my own domain name (s7s214) -- using short name
I need some help on finding out what is causing the server to reboot every month.
Regards,
Robert

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
TFTP is normally used for network boot, network switch firmware upgrades and the like. Is this system supposed to be a netboot server? (Is it an Ignite-UX server, for example?)
Sendmail's complaints about name resolution indicate your DNS domain name might not be properly set. (Look into /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf.) But this definitely won't cause the system to reboot.
Look into /etc/shutdownlog: if the system was rebooted in a controlled fashion (i.e. someone commanded it to reboot), the shutdown/reboot command should have written a log entry about it.
If there is no entry in /etc/shutdownlog, your system probably lost power, crashed or was shut down abruptly in some other manner.
Look into /var/adm/crash: any crash dumps in there? If you find crash dump files, do their modification times match the reboot times?
Also check the MP log: get on the system console (via serial port, or through the network console if it has been configured). If the MP is already in console mode, press Ctrl-B to access MP. The default MP login/password is Admin/Admin. In the MP main menu, the command "SL" displays the MP logs. You'll want the error log, and in Text mode for maximum human-readability (the default is Keyword mode).
The MP log should clearly indicate if the system lost power, crashed, overheated etc.

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
I'm not sure which logs you're displaying, does /etc/shutdownlog offer any clues?

!r u sure that server is rebooting once in a month.if so check user allowed to run cron jobs and check /etc/shutdownlog and check in syslog do any one logged as root somemight may be aware of root pwd.

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
If you say that its happening every month then i would defntly check the cron jobs.
Also check if there was any crash dump under /var/adm/crash/ with latest timestamp.
And check the shutdown logs, what message do you see for the latest reboot.

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
Secondly, faulty CPU would be the cause of rebooting as well. if you have support of that server, I would prefer check with your vendor.

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
> month.... if it is always at the same time
>stamp.... the you should look cron first.
It could also be the sign of the cleaning staff, doing a regular monthly cleaning of the datacenter... :) (just joking)

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
There was no file under /var/adm/crash. last entry in /etc/shutdownlog is for 2007. There is no cron job running every month to reboot the server.
Unfortunately, the lan1 for the Management IP is not configured when I checked it from SAM. But I also did not see a way to add the lan1 interface and its IP address from SAM. Can someone help me with the procedure to add the lan1 interface.
Regards,
Robert

Re: Hp rp3440 rebooting every month
You need to either connect a serial console device (or suitably configured client application on a PC or laptop) to connect to one or the other. If you connect directly to the LAN port you need to use a cross-over cable - otherwise use an network switch or hub. And you need to know what IP address may have been used previously (unfortunately, I do not know what the default is)
