I found this entry in the sys logs, the S8700 interchanged at this time but the guy who logged in at this time claims he did not initiate the interchange/level 1 restart.

USER=root ; COMMAND=/opt/ecs/bin/server -i

anyone knows what this command does?

regards

Here is your answer.

NAME
server - display or change server status
SYNOPSIS
server [-c|-b|-r|-i[f]|-?]

DESCRIPTION
This command allows one to display server duplication status as well as the simultaneous display of status for each server, along with the status of any outstanding major or minor alarms and the state of health for each three components: hardware health, process health, and control network health.

Other options allow one to busyout the Standby server (if present), release the busied-out server, and to interchange servers.


no parameters
By default, a snapshot of server status is displayed.

-b
Busyout this server, if not active.

-c
Continuous looping (1-second intervals) of system status updates.

-f
with -i: forced interchange (health over-ride). A forced interchange will cause an interchange to occur immediately, without waiting for the Standby server to be refreshed and without waiting for files to be file sync'd. This is a potentially dangerous option.
If the state of health is considerably worse on the Standby server prior to the requested interchange, the current Active server will be placed out of service (busied out) after the interchange completes.

-i
Interchange the active and standby servers. If granting such a request would result in calls being dropped, a warning will be issued, and the request will be denied. Otherwise, file syncs are first allowed to complete before the interchange proceeds.

-r
Release the busied-out server.

-?
Display the command usage.
 
This command performs a server interchange. As the "USER" is "root", the interchange was issued from the web interface of the server or it was an internal request due to s/w or h/w problems. Check the logs just before the interchange to see if there are any reports for problems/errors in the server...
