do i have a virus???
nice board, makes interesting reading! glad to know im not the only one to have problems!!
last week, our database started to crash (run on unix / solaris) for no apparant reason. the problem seems to be intermiant which lead us to believe it may be a hardware problem causing the database problems.
aprox 6 weeks ago our sun console decided to reboot itself for no apparant reason, but seemed to be ok...thought no more of it.
this was followed a couple of weeks later the system going extremely slow, and when checking the "perf meter" there was a gravestone with R.I.P icon on it. as the perf had stopped responding we thought it was connected to the perf meter (we were aware of extra work being carried which could slow the system). this has now followed (after friday 13th july) with some d/b errors? is any1 able to throw any light on this. the sun box is connected to our novell server via nfs thus in theory giving it access to our emails etc etc
thank you

tapset::perf
TAPSET::PERF(3stap) TAPSET::PERF(3stap)
NAME
tapset::perf - systemtap perf probe points
DESCRIPTION
This family of probe points is used to probe "perf events" on suitably configured kernels (2.6.33+). It contains a number of aliases for
the ABI-specified event type/config tuples.
The default sampling interval of the translator(1000000) is not overridden, so some of these probe points may fire very infrequently. Use
the lower level perf.type(AA).config(BB).sample(CC) probe point if this is a problem.
perf.hw.*
A variety of hardware events, as generalized by the kernel. These generally require running on bare hardware with selected proces-
sors.
probe perf.hw.cpu_cycles
probe perf.hw.instructions
probe perf.hw.cache_references
probe perf.hw.cache_misses
probe perf.hw.branch_instructions
probe perf.hw.branch_misses
probe perf.hw.bus_cycles
perf.sw.*
Special "software" events provided by the kernel. These sometimes work in virtualized environments and with more processor archi-
tectures.
probe perf.sw.cpu_clock
probe perf.sw.task_clock
probe perf.sw.page_faults
probe perf.sw.context_switches
probe perf.sw.cpu_migrations
probe perf.sw.page_faults_min
probe perf.sw.page_faults_maj
probe perf.sw.alignment_faults
probe perf.sw.emulation_faults
perf.hw_cache.TYPE.ACCESS.RESULT
Hardware cache events, where available. A subset of the following cartesian product may be available:
probe perf.hw_cache.l1d.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.l1i.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.ll.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.dtlb.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.itlb.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.bpu.*.*
probe perf.hw_cache.*.read.*
probe perf.hw_cache.*.write.*
probe perf.hw_cache.*.prefetch.*
probe perf.hw_cache.*.*.access
probe perf.hw_cache.*.*.miss
