Re: AS/400 Locking up

["William A.\(Tony\) Corbett" <corbett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,
Is it running out of disk?
Is is way overworked?

I did have something similar happen a few years ago on a very overworked
F35.  I had done everything to "stretch" it.  Had "faster-than-IBM" memory,
"faster-than-IBM" disk, and as much optimizing as I could do.  Just before
we (me and the F35) convinced management it was time to upgrade, it would
just stop.  It did that about 3 times, right in the middle of the workday.
The only way out was to IPL.  No errors, no messages, no trail to follow, it
just stopped.  The only unofficial answer I ever got was from a senior CE,
he said that the processor couldn't keep up with the instructions coming in
and some would get trampled.(my wording :).  Said he'd only seen it once or
twice before in a long career with IBM.

Not much help, I know, but it's all I got.
