The Oracle DBA had a few things to say about Hal Flynn's comment. ..hehe..,
but I really liked your idea Hal, thanks!

As for our rebooting issue, the only reason why I asked about it, was after
we rebooted it ran well for about a day then Oracle caused a panic and the
450 rebooted and when it came back up FSCK was asking that I do a manual
FSCK on the Oracle partitions "/ora_system" and "/ora_tmp" (these partitions
may not be Oracle Universal). When I ran the FSCK against those two
partitions Solaris reported back or FSCK reported back with: UNKNOWN FILE
TYPE: <giving the inode number> . CLEAN? y or n And it did this on
1000's of files within both of these partitions.

I tried to respond with "no" to all of them at first using the "-f" switch
to force it, but this caused the partitions to still be unmountable.  So I
did the reverse and replied yes to them (getting some bad block errors along
the way).  After it was finished both parititions were mountable and Oracle
"seemed" to start up fine, but the next day the system crashed, only
reporting 

To keep this from being a drawn out Oracle question here is the error that I
found in the /var/adm/messages log file:

<date / time hostname> inetd[11129]: telnet/tcp: bind: Address already in
use
<date / time hostname> unix: panic[cpu3]/thread=300002ef6a0:

.
.

.

<date / time hostname> savecore: reboot after panic: CPU 3 Ecache Writeback
Data Parity Error: AFSR 0X00000000. 00800200 AFAR 0x00000000. 7f530a00

Can anyone make anything out of this error?

Thanks again for your suggestions and help..

Christopher A.
