E450 rebooting

Greetings,

I have an E450 w/20 9Gb drives, 2Gb RAM, Disksuite 4.2.1 (RAID 0+1) and
Solaris 2.8 108528-04 (old, I know), OBP 3.16.2 2000/01/11 15:42 POST
6.0.9 2000/01/11 15:43. Primary app is Oracle 8.0.6 Well, this box has been
rock solid for 2 years. Now, on March 15 it came to a halt - just stopped.
No apparent crash or reboot; it just hung. I turn the key switch from Locked
to Power on and it automatically re-booted. Checked dmesg and prtdiag and
they show nothing out of the ordinary. Now, ten minutes ago the system
automatically rebooted (I left the key in the Power On position on March
15). Again, checked dmesg and prtdiag and they show nothing out of the
ordinary.

All that has been done in the past 2 years:

Added 1 Gb RAM in December to bring it up to 2Gb
Moved machine from 1 building to another in Dec. '02
Changed IP using sys-unconfig in Dec. '02 and February '03
Rack mounted machine in Feb. '03

I should probably download/install the latest patch cluster dated Mar/18/03
- as this is a new one has anyone loaded it yet? Any problems? (I've never
updated the patches as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it).

As this machine has "behaved" for so long I'm at a loss as to where to begin
to diagnose but am very concerend as this machine hosts Oracle for users
around the world. Any ideas would be helpful. TIA

Michael C.
