hi i have an Ultra-5 which has been housed in a datacenter for several years. It used to be running SunOS 5.9 and i didn't experience any problems with it. As that OS became obsolete, I installed Wheezy on the box not too long ago but now am experiencing hard freezes with no info in the system log as to what is happening. how can i troubleshoot? is it a software/OS/kernel issue? i did a barebones installation, not selecting any "roles" for the computer and have installed all software as needed (mainly openssh server), so it is a very slim installation. is it a recent hardware failure? how can i test RAM and other hardware, for example?
i have another sun server in the same datacenter and i was looking to link the two boxes between their serial ports; perhaps i can see more info on the console when the freezes happen. problem is i am not too good at figuring out how to wire such a link. The Ultra-5 has a DB9 port and the other server has an RJ45 port, and i have an Avocent Sun DB9-RJ45 adapter made to be used with their Cyclades serial port server which is what i used to have the Ultra-5 connected to, but the Cyclades is gone now so i'm trying to link it to my other server. i started a discussion about this in the Avocent forums[1] thanks 1. http://community.emerson.com/networkpower/support/avocent/f/105/t/4124.aspx -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
