[OpenIndiana-discuss] spontaneous reboot with record in fault management

[Steve Gonczi]

This looks like an actual pci device error to me. 
I would dig deeper and look at the errors with fmdump -v -e

on occasion i have systems spontaneously rebooting. i can often find entries like this in fault management but it is not particularly helpful. i suspect there is really nothing wrong and the software is generating a panic and rebooting. is there a way to mask this from any type of action or figure out what the source of the issue is? 

in this particularly case, i watched the system dump 96gb of ram on to a dedicated dump device. however, i was unable to retrieve the data afterwards and received a message from savecore that read something like 'save core: bad magic number b' 

any insights would be appreciated. 

thanks,
