Problems after AIX 5.2 update to ML01

[axelsche]

Hi,

after upgrade my p630 to AIX 5.2 ML01 (update_all) and rebooting my system,
I seem to hang in a reboot loop.

System comes up with normal console messages (last is "starting tcpip daemons&quot
and after that the system shows the following on it's LCD:

OOc9
CDT: bos

00c9
CDT: ipc

00c9
CDT: vmm

BOFF

The system switches off and after a while restarts booting again.

Any ideas??

TIA
Axel

if i were in your shoes, i would call IBM for some walkthrough on the phone. i like figuring out things but when my systems are down, i go to the support crew.

If I were you, I would implement my backout plan. I would revert back to the earlier operating system and then confirm the system resources to support AIX 5.2 on the P630, including filesystem space, ram, paging space, etc.
You may also want to research and compare you scenario with other administrators.

hi ,

We have also been experiencing problems running AIX 5.2 and ML01 , in the sense that certain aspects in our case HACMP when syncing used to hang and certain fiels not being populated. We found out that increasing the memory from 512MB to 3GB appeared to have solved the problem .

How much memory have you got installed in your server ?
Plus you can do an lslpp -L , get the output and compare this when you go to the APARS AIX Fix datbase , there is this option for AIX 5 , and see what filesets they recommend you are missing if any.

HI,

We now had the same problem - AIX crashing and rebooting with AIX 5.2 ML1.

0c9 means that the system dump fails.
We are now investigating with IBM,they admit that they have changed some drivers (networking,etc) behaviour.
This causes our third party communication software to crash the system on each boot.
