I have a system where the NICs tend to go offline every few days (probably a couple of weeks). I've been looking at the logs for a possible indication of problems, buit I'm sure it's a motherboard issue. One thing I'm seeing in the logs is when the NICs fail (I have both NICs with IP addresses to see if one NIC fails and the other stays up) but both fail simultaneously.
The relevant log entries are below. The first at 00:01:41 indicates the failure, but the second one 6 minutes later indicates a successful NTP sync. The next 2 log entries just confirm the NICs have failed. I have a script running on that box to give me some additional info, but it did not give me what I want. Note that I have VMWare server 2.0 running on this box, but we are planning to move VMWare off to another dedicated machine that is on order. My script is just a simple script that does a ping and logs success or failure. Rather than fill up the logs, the script edits the log with the intent I want to know the time of the first and most recent failure.
