Have you updated the BIOS to the latest? I received a big order of R710 and R610 last week which had this same issue. BIOS was out of date when I received my units.

This update resolves an issue on the Westmere-EP (5600 series) processors that may result in an invalid memory DRAM state, system hang, reboot, memory ECC errors or unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not unique to Dell PowerEdge servers and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode that is available in this BIOS revision. Intel Xeon 5500 series processors are not affected by this issue. Not sure if this applies to you as it depends on your processor. --Chase Bolt -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tapas Mishra Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 2:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: server rebooting frequently how to diagnose I am having a small problem on my Power Edge server. It is PowerEdge R710. It is rebooting frequently I am having a virtuallization setup over it. Some one a long time back had told me about some way to make a log on power edge via a utility which can have some sort of dumps. Which I can send to Dell for analysis if any one is able to understand what I am saying then give me a link. Or if there is some other way to debug this? -- Tapas Blog http://mightydreams.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
