V240 powering itself down

[reinstalled]

I have a client that says that there V240 is powring down on it's own. I'm waiting to hear back if it's at regular intervals or not. There is nothing that would indicate why in /var/adm/messages or crash. There is mirroring setup using disk manager.

Any ideas?

I do see the following snmp error in my logs and am planning to disable snmp altogether.

Do you have power management turned on? Check for [tt]/etc/power.conf[/tt]. Look for the line starting with [tt]autoshutdown[/tt] and see what the rightmost word is. It should be [tt]noshutdown[/tt], not [tt]shutdown[/tt].

Hope this helps.

HEre's what I have

autopm default
# Auto-Shutdown Idle(min) Start/Finish(hh:mm) Behavior
autoshutdown 30 9:00 9:00 default
statefile

Make it look like this...

autopm                  default
# Auto-Shutdown         Idle(min)       Start/Finish(hh:mm)     Behavior
autoshutdown            30              9:00 9:00               [b]noshutdown[/b]
statefile

Then either reboot or do the following as root...

/etc/rc2.d/S85power stop
/etc/rc2.d/S85power start

Then wait and see if it powers down again. Crossed fingers will help with this step.

Hope this helps.

I recommend to remove the power management pkgs from a Server (usually they never run in powersave, don't they?)

remove these pkgs or at least SUNWpmr
system SUNWpmowm Power Management OW Utilities Man Pages
system SUNWpmowr Power Management OW Utilities, (Root)
system SUNWpmowu Power Management OW Utilities, (Usr)
system SUNWpmr Power Management config file and rc script
system SUNWpmu Power Management binaries
system SUNWpmux Power Management binaries (64-bit)
