Dear ML
We upgraded a Dell Poweredge PE 1950 Server the 8th of May. Since then
the server rebooted 3 times without external cause (it is located in a
server farm with redundant power supply etc.). Looking at the servers
monitoring infrastructure with Dell's own OpenManage tools, I get
strange errors:
[root@servernew ~]# omreport system esmlog
(....)
Severity : Critical
Date and Time : Mon May 11 17:46:59 2009
Description : System Software event: run-time critical stop was asserted
Severity : Critical
Date and Time : Fri May 15 21:07:57 2009
Description : System Software event: run-time critical stop was asserted
Severity : Critical
Date and Time : Wed May 20 21:00:53 2009
Description : System Software event: run-time critical stop was asserted
(...)
This class of errors never happened before in over a year that the
server is running.
There is no mention of any anomaly, except the boot messages itself, in
/var/log/messages.
The server runs the 64 bit flavor of CentOS hosting some XEN virtual
machines and some PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. It run without any
issues with CentOS 5.1 and 5.2.
I interpreted these issues as some kernel/software related problem, but
do not know how to make a more accurate diagnosis of the problem.
Can anybody give me some hint? Has anybody had some similar issue?
Regards,
Peter
