Ultra 45 random freeze

ODeskOct 22 2015 — edited Nov 19 2015

I have an Ultra 45 workstation that has now been put into service so hasn't been used for a while.

The host suddenly freezes, the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive and the host is not pingable on the network.  Stop-A does nothing and the host does not panic.  All I can do is power off the host and reboot but there's nothing in the logs to indicate what happened.

This has happened twice in as many weeks so I am concerned it will become a regular occurance.

I've kicked off a VTS hardware stress test but so far OK.  The only error has been during the System Excerciser test:

SunVTS7.0ps19.2: VTSID 6427 vtsk.ERROR : Processor.iutest.0[IU] (pid=3389) exited with exit code: 93 during task 1401.

But then performing a Component Stress test on the CPUs returns no errors so I don't think this is the problem (just a VTS bug)

Any thoughts on what to do?  I guess if the host is not panicing it's possibly a system baord fault?  I'll probably reinstall Solaris 10 fresh if it happens again to eliminate the OS...
