Osol b134 I'm experiencing a forced shutdown of a machine. It is proceeded with a number of beeps in a steady pattern like
beep beep beep beep beep beep And onward. 2 beeps pause 2 beeps pause... etc. The beeps are the same tone on each set of beeps but each has its own tone. So its .. hi low pause hi low pause .. etc I'm not sure what it means but it appears to be somewhat serious since it will shutdown the machine at some point... and not too long about it. I suspect some fairly serious hardware problem. The machine is somewhat old 7-8 yrs and is: athlon64 +3400 (cpu (might be) 2.2Ghz or so) It has 3 sets of mirrored discs 2 Sets of 500gb (WD) 1 set of 750gb (WD) I'm running the machine on a KVM and had the opensolaris machine off the switch while having a laptop sharing the KVM. I've been using ssh to login to the problem machine up until now... and now no ssh comes up when I boot it. I know I will have to rerig things and connect mouse, keyboard, monitor direct to the problem machine, but once that is done is there some sort of semi-standard way of booting to an emergency set of tools to try to see what the problem is? I won't have a lot of time, before the machine shuts down. Maybe 1/2 hr or so. I'm kind of having a brain freeze about this: So what are the standard tests or cmds to run to collect enough data to try to make a determination of what the problem is? And if worse case turns out to be the case and I have to get a new machine or some new hardware, can anyone offer a small outline of the steps that would be needed to move those discs to a new setup? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
