if the reboots are consistently happening at certain times ... i'd check for processes going on right before those times --- probably do a "ps -ef > /not_tmp_dir/file" --- and see if something is rebooting the box ... also, i'd check for errors and/or warnings on all the log files ... check root cron jobs too ...
if the reboots are inconsistent ( and/or var/adm/messages is clear and/or no "freak" processes are rebooting the box) and if the box is conected to a UPS unit ... i'd look at the UPS unit and anything else connected to the power supply ...

For the past month, our sun solaris server has rebooted itself 3 times. The sysadmin is saying that is not a sun issue and does not want to carry out any further research with sun about that. The db logfile does not show anything about any db issues at that time. I opened an oracle TAR... (3 Replies)

I'm in process of creating oracle RAC using Solaris 10 in VirtualBox. I want to know how can I change the ownership of device e.g /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 and keep it persistent during rebbots.
When I enter
chown grid:install /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0
ls -l still shows root:root.

prtdiag(1M) prtdiag(1M)
NAME
prtdiag - display system diagnostic information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/prtdiag [-v] [-l]
prtdiag displays system configuration and diagnostic information on sun4u and sun4v systems.
The diagnostic information lists any failed field replaceable units (FRUs) in the system.
The interface, output, and location in the directory hierarchy for prtdiag are uncommitted and subject to change in future releases.
prtdiag does not display diagnostic information and environmental status when executed on the Sun Enterprise 10000 server. See the
/var/opt/SUNWssp/adm/${SUNW_HOSTNAME}/messages file on the system service processor (SSP) to obtain such information for this server.
The following options are supported:
-l Log output. If failures or errors exist in the system, output this information to syslogd(1M) only.
-v Verbose mode. Displays the time of the most recent AC Power failure, and the most recent hardware fatal error information, and (if
applicable) environmental status. The hardware fatal error information is useful to repair and manufacturing for detailed diagnos-
tics of FRUs.
The following exit values are returned:
0 No failures or errors are detected in the system.
1 Failures or errors are detected in the system.
2 An internal prtdiag error occurred, for example, out of memory.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWkvm |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Interface Stability |Unstable* |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
*The output is unstable.
modinfo(1M), prtconf(1M), psrinfo(1M), sysdef(1M), syslogd(1M), attributes(5), openprom(7D)
NOTES
Not all diagnostic and system information is available on every Solaris platforn, and therefore cannot be displayed by prtdiag. On those
platforms, further information can be obtained from the System Controller.
