[SunHELP] Logging memory errors

[Fletcher, Joe]

Hi,

Any system worth anything these days can cope with transient memory errors.
It's why ECC RAM
was invented. It becomes especially important on systems with large amounts
of RAM where 
errors become statistically more likely. As far as I've been able to
discover SUN don't have a hardware error logging facility in the same way as
say Compaq(DEC) Alphas do. Everything gets listed in var/adm/messages and
that's about it.

If you do find out about any other facilities I'd be interested to hear
about them.

Cheers

Joe

I just checked the console of my webserver today, and
noticed I had parity errors (yet the system has been up for 68 days).
Damn, is Solaris reliable on regular hardware.  Anyways, is there a log
where
I can get this information for my records, or do I have to touch a file to
get it to start logging?

THanks all,

Paul

P.S.  I should have DSL by the end of the month.
