I have a FreeNAS box in use that has been randomly experiencing unexpected reboots. This box is hosting iSCSI targets for a VMWare server, so it has VMs running on it all the time. The server is a Dell R710, and the connectivity between FreeNAS and the VMWare host is Dell Broadcom 10Gb SFP+ Fiber cards.
When I initially set this box up and had it running for several weeks for 'burn in', I didn't have a single hiccup. Ran totally rock solid the entire time. A few days after deploying it for production use, I noticed that it seemed to have rebooted based on an e-mailed report. The really odd thing there is it seemed like none of the VMs actually rebooted - they all showed more uptime than would be possible with the storage disappearing, thus triggering a hard reboot of all the guests. I checked the hardware logs via the iDRAC, and there are no hardware issues logged, and I haven't seen anything that stands out in FreeNAS.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look to try to determine why it seems to keep rebooting unexpectedly?
