Solaris reboot with no message

Yesterday I got problem, suddenly the solaris server was rebooting without any message left in /var/adm/messages. Usually all information related with system log exists inside. I also checked some log files in /var/log/sulog, /var/crash/, mail, using last command but none of those gave something.

But when I look at system messages when it's booting up then I found that some messages retrieve from LOM. Finally I got clue, I did show log message from ALOM directly with following steps :
1. Connect via ALOM
2. Type #. to change in ALOM mode
3. Type showlogs

Then the messages that I want appeared. It shows that something happen with system board therefore the server reboot abnormally.

Brainbench addict :)

This month I have addicted visit and try free test from Brainbench. Actually, If I have some spare times in my office then I take only free test and the result is not bad for the starter. But I have a preparation before taking the test by reading the book and getting help from Mr Google.

This transcript is the test that I've done, and fortunately I always passed those and the score is good enough. The next test I will take is about RHEL 5 (Redhat Enterprise Linux 5). I already got the manual book and still learning about that.

But the only thing is I cannot get certificate for free and only take free test :(. Let's see if there is some money then I will. And also I have dream to be get a Master cerfiticate, only if your score is more than 4.0 of 5.0. Currently my highest score only 3.99 :(
