First, let me say thanks to all those who replied!
It seems that I have gotten around both of the problems which I sought help
with.
Problem 1:
| I have a SPARCserver 1000 that has been crashing 1-2 times a day for the
| last week. I am hoping it is something simple like a bad SIMM, but I
| can't see evidence of a SIMM location in the following dmesg output:
|
| ------------ Output from dmesg -----------
| BAD TRAP: cpu_id=3 type=9 <Data fault> addr=40 rw=1 rp=e0372b5c
| MMU sfsr=0x126: ft=<Invalid address error> at=<supv data load> level=1

- much more deleted...
Looks like the problem was software after all. Since I originally sent my plea,
I upgraded ORACLE7 from 7.0.12 to 7.0.15. Wow! What an improvement. These
particular panics went away, but the system locked up tight a couple of times.
Since there were no errors, I never new what was going on.
A few days after the ORACLE7 upgrade, I upgraded the OS from Solaris 2.2 to 2.3.
Wow2! Also a great improvement (after I applied the 15 or so patches that
is :-). The system has been up since I upgraded to Solaris 2.3 a week ago.
Problem 2:
| The only other repeated error I have seen in the "messages" file is like
| the following:
|
| Nov 8 08:09:04 unix: le2:
| Nov 8 08:09:04 unix: Memory error!
| Nov 8 08:52:36 unix: le2:
| Nov 8 08:52:36 unix: Memory error!
The Solaris 2.3 upgrade seems to have taken care of these errors as well. Nary
a one in the last week.
Bottom line: If you are currently running Solaris 2.2, upgrade to Solaris 2.3
ASAP.
