[CentOS] systemctl reboot -- server not accessible after reboot

2017-10-14 Thread Mike
Hi,

Such a simple problem, but I can't figure out the cause.
Supermicro server with a Xeon E3-1200 cpu.
1U entry level item.

Using CentOS 7

from ~$root --- systemctl reboot

Server disconnects my ssh connection and never comes back up.
Go to the server and the power is on but the server is not accessible by ssh.
When I connect a monitor and keyboard --- non-responsive.  It's like
it's in suspend mode.

I push and hold the power button until the server fully powers down.
Push power again and everything boots, goes to prompt, and all is well.

When I try systemctl reboot directly on the server.
Same problem --- does not start to login prompt.

Manually power down and power up again --- works and all is well.

Anyone have this problem before?
I've checked all the BIOS options and I can't find anything misconfigured.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Hi,

I have this problem!

Try:

For a test, please...

The version is a bit unprecise. Are you fully updated?
On 7.3 and 7.4 I haven't seen that issue.

so where does it stop?   does it never finish BIOS short self-test after 
the shutdown?   does it hang somewhere in the Linux loading sequence?   
if it goes to the graphic screen with the blue startup bar or whatever, 
I believe you can hit ESC to get the console messages.

When you say that the monitor is plugged in, and the server is unresponsive, 
does that mean that the monitor doesn’t even come active?  That sounds like it 
might have crashed the kernel in a way that the display isn’t showing.

You could set up kdump to catch that.  You could also set up a persistent 
journal (create /var/log/journal) and try again, then when you manually power 
it up, check to see if anything was logged in the journal.

If the system’s keyboard is plugged in, you could try using the magic sysrq 
keys to get it to do something.  (see 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key )
Try ‘c’ to initiate a crashdump to force kdump to record a kernel dump, then 
you can examine the active processes.  ‘k’ or ‘g’ might clean up the display if 
it’s bad.  

Also, remote syslog is always helpful for these kinds of situations, although 
if the network is down when it crashes then it won’t be as helpful, which is 
why I suggest looking at the journal.

Thanks. I was able to get postfix working in the docker container.
