Help - Multiple Abends

[Juandaman81]

Help please, i have a server on a client site that once or twice a month reports a "multiple Abend" error, u know the type, lots of different colours.... hung or locked console, nothing responds so a power down is needed. I pulled back the abend.log but can't really see anything in there, not that i'm really sure what to look for. We are using Dell poweredge 2500\2600 - We had this problem at the start of our 4.11 migration to 6.5 (Oh SFTiii, now that was a qualtiy system!!! - except for the mirroring the wrong way bit...Doh ), which we turned off the logical processor, which fixed all cases but this store. Any ideas anyone?

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

A "Multiple Abends are occuring" is tough. This happens when a server abends while trying to process an abend, and you rarely get log files or anything useful.

The best thing I can recommend is eliminate any non-essential items and go from there. Turn off CPU Hyperthreading (BIOS Setting), make sure you're patched to NW6.5 + Post SP5 OS patch.

Also, I assume the abends are on the NW6.5 box? NetWare 6.5 is SOLID, but I run into a lot of problems with servers that have been configured poorly and/or installed by someone that doesn't understand NetWare.
