V240 keeps rebooting with no errors posted on /var/adm/messages

Hi all,

I have a V240 running solaris 2.9 that keeps rebooting almost every hour. When it comes up I do not see any error messages for hardware or software. I do not even see any messages in /var/adm/messages. I enebale diag-level to max and run reset-all at the OK> prompt and all the components run just fine. Also prtdiag -v reports no errors either. I really appreciate if you give me some insights. I am puzzled

Thanks for your help

have you enabled crash dumps?if not, use dumpadm to configure you dump device (use your swap dev for it) and dump directory as /var/crash/`hotsname`see if it dumps a core. Then you can debug the core.
