SUMMARY: Solaris 2.6 Apparent Reboot Problem

Hey All,

Turns out it's me being daft. The definitive answer from Darren Dunham :-

> Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: root nexus = Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI
(UltraSPARC-IIi
> 360MHz)
> Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: pci0 at root: UPA 0x1f 0x0
> Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: pci0 is /pci@1f,0
> Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: PCI-device: pci@1,1, simba #0
> Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: PCI-device: pci@1, simba #1

>That's the contents of the msgbuffer.  Useful for noting startup events
>before syslog is running.

>When syslog starts, it copies the msgbuf into the messages file.  It
>does this whether the machine just booted or not.  Presumably then, your
>syslog was killed and restarted.

Thanks for replies go to :-

Subject: Solaris 2.6 Apparent Reboot Problem


Hi Managers,

I have an Ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6, and an E450 also running 2.6

The problem is that we'll get messages in the syslog looking like the box has
been rebooted :-

Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: SunOS Release 5.6 Version Generic_105181-15
[UNIX(R)
System V Release 4.0]
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: Copyright (c) 1983-1997, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: mem = 262144K (0x10000000)
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: avail mem = 256614400
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: Ethernet address = 8:0:20:b1:3:f4
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: root nexus = Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi
360MHz)
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: pci0 at root: UPA 0x1f 0x0
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: pci0 is /pci@1f,0
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: PCI-device: pci@1,1, simba #0
Aug 28 15:45:43 itr unix: PCI-device: pci@1, simba #1

But when logging on to check them out, uptime says :-

4:34pm  up 9 day(s),  3:45,  2 users,  load average: 1.09, 1.07, 1.05

And there are processes running that have been there for 9 days :-

     UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY      TIME CMD
    root     0     0  0   Aug 19 ?        0:01 sched
    root     1     0  0   Aug 19 ?        0:00 /etc/init -
    root     2     0  0   Aug 19 ?        0:00 pageout
    root     3     0  0   Aug 19 ?       22:17 fsflush

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Explanations?

Thanks in advance,
