After HFA_04 installation it works ok. Hello again,
It seems that I’m lucky, because it was a problem with SecurePlatform NGX HFA_03, not with servers. After HFA_04 installation it works ok.

Sun is playing dumb with us about replacements (reminds me of 3500 issues in the past). we're setting up syslog services to hopefully record the root cause(s). Anyone have any system messages prior to the reboots? we bought 20 v20zs, and so far 3 have rebooted themselves.

The best current guess is that the V20Z's are very very very sensitive to the type of memory in it. Seems like one o fthe problem is that all the memory banks require to have the same exact model and manufacturer. Sun has been replacing memory modules for us and it seemed to have fixed a few of the boxes. However we still have a few which are unpredictable. And thats just hardware... I still have a story about java support call which I made the other week. Its frustrating as hell. Its been months and we still have no confirmed solution.
