4241.0. "Decserver90 TL with new mac address" by SNOFS2::HASEGAWA () Thu Feb 27 1997 14:50

    Hi all.
    
    Problem with DECserver90 TL which has new MAC address ?
    
    DECserver90 TL keeps re-booting every 10-15 mini. without any load.
    Crash code were 002,003,or 00D, and this server was brand new one.
    
    Replaced with digital spear but same thing happened. I tried another
    spear but no diffence.
    
    All 3 server have new MAC address, and finaly I replaced DECserver90
    with old MAC address it's working fine on same DEChub900.
    
    Tested 2 spears with another DEChub900 running v4.2 backplane .
    
    Customer's DEChub is running with 4.11.
    
    Is there any problem?
    
    
    Thanks,
    Atsushi Hasegawa

RE: .0

Sounds like the DECservers are being loaded with an inappropriate image.
It is possible that a BOOTP server is delivering the image based on a
registered MAC address, and the default image for unknown MAC addresses
is the wrong one.  A console log (from port 1) during boot would be
helpful.

Regards,

Dave

    Atsushi,
    
    I had the same problem with a batch of DS90TL with 00-00-F8 address
    prefix. One of the units have been sent to terminal server engineering
    for investigation. These units were booting from mop and not bootp.
    Frequency of crashes varies from 1/2 hr to days.
