I have two Solaris 10 servers. First server crashed last week (Monday) and second one crashed over the weekend. I have checked the logs such as /var/adm/messages, syslog and dmesg. So for I found none. My management wants to know why the server crashed. I need to come with some kind of reasons.
I also searched for core file and didn't find any. Can someone guide me what else I can do to figure out why the server crashed.
Both systems reboot OK? Did you look in the older /var/adm/messages log files and not just the current messages file? Is crash dump enabled? If not, you should enable it if possible.
What kind of hardware is it? Does it have ILOM? If it does, then you can check ILOM logs in /SP/logs/event/list (IIRC).
I have Sunfire E6900. which has four domain. But I only have access to one. Other three are used by different groups currently I think they took it offline.
second one Sunfire E2900
On the E6900, I did go to console I was hostname-sc prompt. I typed " help " I saw this...
I then typed " showlogs "
Can you advise what else I can look at?

yes. System is online now. Both of the server has Sybase running. Very important DB for the company. I did check the /var/adm/messages file. It has lot of data, but I didn't find anything useful as to why the system crashed.
