I've had issues with HP hardware doing this. Cost me several months of digging to finally get it figured out on one of our Oracle RAC nodes. We ended up having to flash some new firmware to a component on the motherboard. The symptoms we saw were that it was like someone yanked the power instantly from the box and it would start coming back up. No errors, no dumps, just a power removed/power back on message in the iLO logs on the console.<br>
<br>Hardware was a DL380 G6. Ended up having to flash the whole batch that came in at that time as they all fit the correct manufacturing time/serial numbers.<br><br>Matt<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 10:08 PM, Todd Walton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tdwalton@gmail.com">tdwalton@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Have any of you seen a Linux server spontaneously reboot itself, and<br>
what was the cause? Was the reboot part of a design decision or was<br>
it a flaw? Did the cause make sense to you, or do you think it should<br>
have handled the situation differently? Was it due to hardware or OS,<br>
or was it third party software that caused it?<br>
