vyatta Server Reboots by itself
- by Fernando
I have an issue regarding some hardware, maybe you can help me.
First, I set up a Supermicro Superserver SYS-5016I-NTF with a Intel Xeon X3470 and 4
GB of Ram with a Hotlava Card Tambora 64G4 with Intel Chipset 82599EB and 4x10G
SPF+ ports. Installed Vyatta community edition 6.3.
I used it as router making BGP connections with 2 operators.
No load at all, temp ranges normal.
But the issue is that it reboots by itself in a ramdom way. Not very often,
once every few days. But it is unacceptable for production purposes.
So I try to test on different hardware, and installed Vyatta community edition
6.3 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950, with Xeon(R) E5345 @ 2.33GHz and 4 GB of Ram.
Same Vyatta configuration as Supermicro Server. With same hotlava Card model ( I
bought two of them ) Well I have reboots with this equipment as well. Same frecuency as above.
I have checked syslog no strange logs until boot process starts to be logged. So it seems server reboot suddenly.
I have installed latest driver for the chipset of the Hotlava card.
Servers are placed in a datacenter with UPS
So finally two things in common in both servers:
Hotlava Card. Someone with issues with this card, or the chipset?? Could be
it this card??
Vyatta 6.3 community edition. I don't thing is the problem. Is a regular
Debian with packages to glue together different services.
Or maybe is something I am missing.
Andy ideas, suggestions??
Thank you very much...
