RE: Spontaneous server reboots
Usually if you have replaced the memory, and you are still getting the random reboots, and nothing is showing in the IML Log, or via Insight Management Agents in the Event Log, then its probably Motherboard issue, and you should have that replaced.

RE: Spontaneous server reboots
You're probably right, Edward, however, I'd also try replacing the power supply with a known good power supply first. THEN if the spontaneous reboots continue, I'd say you've exhausted all other options and should replace the motherboard.

RE: Spontaneous server reboots
I've had it on two different UPS units. First one had other servers on it (load was at 50%), but none of the other servers had an issue. I moved it to a new UPS (both are Smart-UPS 1500 units from APC) that had nothing else on it. Still did the reboots. That's a good suggestion, though. I didn't think of that when I moved it.

RE: Spontaneous server reboots
My experience was much the same, one was a 1500 and one a 2200. I think they are both of near the same vintage. I *thought* I ruled out the UPS for the one server that did it nearly daily when I moved it to the larger one for a while then it happened again, just at a different interval and lower frequency. Replaced all the batteries and it's a lot better. I should get off my duff and connect and configure PowerChute but that is a PITA covered in another thread and they are just lab servers so they don't have any priority.

RE: Spontaneous server reboots
Did you have other servers hooked up to the same UPS when the server was rebooting? And it only affected the one server? Unfortunately for me, this is a production server - in this case a DC. Fortunately for me, it is just a backup DC so no one is missing it. Kyle B.
