Guest CLM Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I posted this yesterday but didn't get much of a response, so I thought I'd try again: We have a Win 2003 Ent SP2 server that just shuts down unexpectedly. The admins never tell me what has happened with this box. I looked in Event Viewer and there's no clues there. Furthermore, Perf Mon logs do not show anything unusual, i.e. high activity, etc. Where else can I look to find out what is going on with this server? I guess what I'm asking is what logs (besides event viewer) can I look at to see why this keeps going belly up and how do I find them?

Guest CLM Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown Well, I guess there's some comfort in knowing that others are getting the same issue. :) But have you found any clues in any logs or anything??

Guest Allen Harkleroad Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown So far no. I suspect possibly elevated temperatures, however having to identical DELL 4600's you would think both would do it. Perhaps a bad security update? It has happened in the past. If I find anything I'll be sure to post. I have it set to do a dump if it happens again.

Guest Allen Harkleroad Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown Under system properties in control panel, or right click on "My computer" then click the advanced tab, look at the bottom and click "settings" under "Startup and Recovery", then select "small memory dump" under "write debugging information". You have to restart for it to take affect. then look at this article as a guideline for analyzing a dump file. http://blogs.technet.com/petergal/archive/2006/03/23/422993.aspx It gives you a good look at how to look at the dump and determine the cause of the problem. Several other users with the same problems have said that no dump is created (happens to fast to grab the dump).

Guest DY Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown This is a long shot but make sure the the HDD firmware is up to date. A little while back there was a major firmware patch that came out for a major HDD vendor (don't remember who though). If I remember correctly, it was for SCSI drives. The affected drives would just suddenly and randomly stop responding, even if working properly for months. If your OS HDDs are affected, this may be why you do not see any logs (although most OS setups are at least RAID 1 so the chances of more that one failing at the same time are slim). Another though while on the RAID idea is that possibly the OS RAID controller is acting up. Like I stated at the beginning, this would be a long shot... Best of luck.

Guest Allen Harkleroad Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown Funny you should mention that. We did have a drive go crazy and the system broke the mirror. We checked it and put it back online, it rebuilt fine. Will definitely check the SCSI drives and the RAID controller for firmware updates. We haven't updated firmware in a looooong time. We live by the if it ain't broke don't try fixing it motto.

Guest CLM Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown This is very interesting. We've got a Netapp with Scsi, but I believe they're backup only.

Guest Allen Harkleroad Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 Re: Surprise Shotdown CLM, Are you still having the random shutdowns? We haven't had any more since the last on around 10 pm Friday night, at 2 am Saturday we updated the RAID firmware, the ESM backplane firmware (DELL PE 4600) and everything seems to be okay again.
