Hello,
We have a 7 1/2 year old Poweredge 2900 that has rebooted itself 4 times in the last week at random. None of these were close to when WSUS reboots to apply updates and nothing in Task Scheduler coincides with the reboot times either.
Event Viewer and OMSA haven't provided any clues to the problem. Everything seems to putter along just fine until the reboot. One drive in our RAID 5 array was predicted to fail, but the last reboot occurred after replacing that drive. Besides, a single failure in that array should not cause a reboot and indeed has not in the past.
So I'm at a loss here. I can't attribute this to any recent changes or updates because I haven't had the time recently to do anything like that with it. I'm not experiencing hard locks, bluescreens, or anything else that might indicate problems with the RAM or motherboard and I would assume that OMSA would alert me if the PERC 6/i was about to give up the ghost.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
