SCO

Hi Gurus

I have installed SCO 6.0 open server on Dell R710 server.

It has frozen three times afte installtion. and I had to cold reboot to bring the server back again.

I need to know where to look for the reason it froze.

The keyboard on the server the asterisk key is pressed, even though there is no keyboard attached to the server. We access the sysem thru dell idrac (remote console)

Please guide to where to look for.

First. Install a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
When the system 'freezes' what indications do you have that this has occurred?

It is a Dell R710 server with Idrac feature, has a seperate NIC for the idrac access to the system console. and we have attached the keyboard and mouse to IBM RCM.

The last time system froze, the console was blank both via dell idrac as well as IBM RCM.

I viewed the /usr/adm/ syslog, rc2.log and messages and did not find any clue that can lead me to what caused the freezing.

where else should I look.

Thanks for all your help.

Does the CMOS record any over temperature conditions?

This may help What information should be gathered to help diagnose a system experiencing panics and/or hangs?

I check the temperature conditions and there are no signs of over heat.

The system was frozen today again,

Please advise where to look for. When I ty to analyze the crash dump I get the message

crash: wrong magic number in dumpfile

I have had similar problems with HP servers, the fix for them was to update the firmware of all of the system components. e.g. the motherboard, drive controller card, nic, etc...
