Will give a more detailed one later.

  Noticed you are using ZFS. Where is your swap partition located?

On ZFS or?

Swap for dom0 is on a mdraid partition.  Dom0 has 4GB RAM because it's
supposed to be used for making backups once I get to set that up and is
not swapping.




Update:

I updated the software, and the next morning the server was down again.
Yesterday, I pulled the disks and put it into another, identical HP Z800
which so far has been running without problems.

It didn't go down yet, and there is one peculiarity:

Why do I get a message that the link is up?

There is no message that the link went down.  I checked another server
which is connected to the same switch, and the link on the other server
didn't go down and didn't come up, i. e. it was persistent.

6:45 is a suspicious time, but I haven't found any cron job which
might do something with the network card.

What might have happened here?  Could this be some event which made the
other HP Z800 go down?
