After some time, I can now summarize what happened with my ultra 10. The problem was: an ultra 10 machine (built under year 2000, 2x8gb ide disk, 256mb of ram, UltraSparc 2i 440mhz) started to crash quite randomly with a variable system load. I tried to change the ram modules, disable the PCI ethernet card and change a couple of things but nothing worked. After having some infos through sunmanagers, I run the iscda.sh script and identified the famous ecache parity error. The cpu module should be replaced. The machine was two months out of warrany and I needed this machine up&running in at maximum a couple of days. I decided to try everything before sending it outside so I opened the case and sequentially: - removed the cpu module - cleaned everything as best as I can with compressed air - reinserted the cpu module a couple of times to rougly test the connectors and displace a bit of dust. After doing that, I've closed everything, fsck'ed the filesystem again and leaved it working. By now, the machine has 75 days of uptime with full load, with no errors. Before cleaning, the machine was perfectly clean, so I'm thinking that the cpu module was sightly displaced for some reasons (maybe the high temperature during summer) and simply removing/reinserting it was enough. Thanks to everyone that pointed me to iscda.sh and others who replied. Sorry for the >long< time. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Aug 23 16:46:07 2002
