We bought 4 Sun Blade 1000 machines earlier this year and have had nothing
but problems with them! After a whole batches of cases raised with SUN,
components replaced, VTS tests done and patches installed we are still
having problems. So I'm asking if anyone else has similar experiences and
if they have managed to identify the fault(s).
All the machines are Sun Blade 1000 with 900 MHz processors, 36 GB FC discs
and ~ 1GB RAM. Running Solaris 8 with latest recommended patches installed
(from 1 week ago). Similar problems with 1 & 2 processor machines both in
& out of air-conditioned rooms.
We've run SUN Explorer & VTS on all the machines but they still seem to
show the same fault. They spontaneously reboot! This usually happens under
a low system load but there are no obvious messages in the log files. The
problem seems to get worse with time.
I've included a (heavily) edited /var/adm/messages file from a typical
machine. But we have 3 that do very similar things. If anyone can help I
would be very grateful.
Peter
A typical /var/adm/messages file contains the following;
