Who here has a server that seems to fail every few weeks.
you have replaced nearly everything in it and it still have the sake problem

It's so bad it drives you to drink rice wine?
do you got a copy of the panic/crash? netconsole maybe?
We have a central syslog server just because we got tired of not being able to debug 2.6.32 :P

Did you try kicking it? I still refer back to the first computer I fixed by kicking it.
Pentium 75MHz
32MB RAM
500MB HD
Wouldn't boot. Replaced power supply, memory, cpu, still nothing. Let it sit for a week, kicked it once a day, never failed again. I know not everyone is as technical as me.
Checked CPU? What kernel you running on.
Kick more computers! Exercise :P
Thats the thing, no errors, it just shuts off, and I have replaced everything I can think of.
Power source.
No, its on the same PDU as everything else, it has redundant power suplies too.
ghosts?
Over heating?
Thats what I thought to, but the ILO stays on and mesures all the temputures, I doubt 25C is overheating.
There has to be SOME kind of log SOMEWHERE of what is happening.
its time to force the provider, to build you a new server. i hope that fixes it? :P
I own the server
According to ILO, it just powers down
Mobo...
Probably some capacitors/VRMs whatever components.
With my servers, it's always the flux capacitor that causes problems...
If it's a business machine, it makes sense to replace it. Think about the lost revenue/customer respect
.
Every time I've had one of these nodes though, it's turned out to be bad RAM. It takes 2 weeks with memtest to show the bad locations sometimes, but they're there.
iLO updated?
Could be mynocks chewing on the power cables.
It is prob the mobo. My old laptop that I had would just randomly turn off, and it was the mobo. Good thing it was still under apple warranty!
Sounds like a mobo problem, get your DC to rebuild it if it's rented, if it's owned, send them a new mobo.
Failing that, just build a new server.
And yeah, I get what you mean, there's always "one" problem. Nothing is ever "T-Perfect".
I know this is going to sound stupid, but have you check the bios settings and also does your server has a watchdog timer.
On my first server build up this caused me a lot of headaches.
