Hi,
I am having a wierd problem in one of the Solaris servers.

Code:

root@ussd # uname -a
SunOS ussd 5.8 Generic_108528-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

The problem is that terminal is not refreshing when we run commands like
prstat, tail -f "some log file", sar -u 1 10

Also, sleep command is not terminating normally. I have to press ctrl+C or ctrl+Z to terminate it.

Code:

root@ussd # sleep 2
^C
root@ussd #
root@ussd # sleep 5
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 sleep 5
root@ussd #
root@ussd # ps -aef | grep sleep
    root 22218     1  0 11:32:57 ?        0:00 sleep 2
    root 22311 21950  0 11:54:31 pts/1    0:00 sleep 5

Any suggestions, I am unable to troubleshoot this problem.

Please HELP !!!

Try rebooting the server and after that pay attention to screen for any errors.

Hi All,

Seems like I found the culprit in /var/adm/messages.

We have some unusual errors there like.

Code:

kern.warning] WARNING: [AFT0] 3 soft errors in less than 24:00 (hh:mm) detected from Me
mory Module J0406

Transaction was a block operation.
Jun 25 12:06:07 ussd pcisch: [ID 956438 kern.info] dvma access, Memory safari command, address 00000000.7e2ee2d0, owned_
in not asserted.

secondary error from DVMA read transaction

I googled for these errors, seems like the PCI slot where the memory card is inserted is faulty. An engineer from SUN Microsystems is also working on it.

Best Regards,
VIKAS
