Hello all,
We have two identical FreeNAS boxes, a primary and backup. The primary mirrors all data from our ZFS data volumes to the backup via rsync.
Lately, the primary box has been rebooting spontaneously. To my knowledge, it has happened twice in the last three weeks. The backup box has not had any issues.
We're on the latest build of FreeNAS 9.3 STABLE (201506292130).
Here are the hardware specs (note that the primary and backups are identical, the one exception being the 10GbE card):
SuperMicro MBD-X8DAH+-F-O Motherboard
Intel Xeon E5620
24 GB RAM
LSI 9211-8i SAS HBA
Emulex OCE10102-NM 10Gb Ethernet card
24x 4TB HGST hard drives split into three RAIDZ1 volumes
2x WD Scorpio Black hard drives (FreeNAS boot device)
I'm looking for some basic troubleshooting advice. I've pored through the syslogs on the system and can't find any explanation for the reboots. I found a syslog-ng.core file in /var/db/system/cores, with a timestamp about the same time as the last reboot, is this the coredump file that I should be looking through? Any advice on what to look for in this file?
Any help you could provide would be appreciated.
