So how many of you are responsible for examining your database servers
for hardware/software faults when it crashes?  Not the database, but the
actual machine?
 
We recently had a server crash that reported problems when it came back
up.  It has also saved a dumpfile to be examined and it reported
problems during the POST routine.
 
Now I get this email from my DBA manager: (paraphrased)
 
"Chris,
 
John [pc/lan mgr] requested that we try to put our finger on what caused
MachineA to failover on Saturday.  I looked through the logs extensively
today [uh huh] and couldn't find anything - can you look around too and
see if you find anything?"
 
-Bob"
 
(Obviously names changed)
 
Maybe I'm just in a bad mood this morning....grrrr
