Hi all, we have a very simple file server with no jails/vms etc. This was built and put into production early November of last year (2022) but we have had multiple occasions where the server almost freezes/crashes. It doesn't respond to SSH, can't be pinged from other machines on same network, cannot access the web ui and don't even get monitor output when connecting to it. However, the machine appears to be fully active with all the drives and fans spinning etc.
First time round this happened we didn't have SSH setup, so after restarting the server we set it up incase it happened again and see if we could access it that way. The 2nd time it happened was just before NYE whilst we were all on holiday. The only reason we know this happened is because of our backup software telling us that it could not access the network drive within Windows. We then tried SSH into the server but had no luck with it at all.
The only way we can get the server running again is after a restart, which is not ideal at all. I've tried doing some research but only found a few people saying to check for bios power management. From what I can see within BIOs, I cannot find any power management settings which could cause this.
I would appreciate anyone with suggestions on this issue. Specs of server:
