    Hi!, I've got an LPAR running AIX 6.1. (6100-04-03-1009; I know... too old)

    This morning it frozen. No response trhough console, so we turned it off and on from HMC.

    The copy device for the dump was too small so there is no dump.

    The mistery here is that I haven't found trace of what lead to the halt.

    Checked:

    - No errpt entry (nothing until de startup process)

    - No console output (alog shows old entries and the startup process).

    - HMC errors (everything is green)

    - Nothing relevant on users history.

    - Audit not enabled.

    - /var/adm/pacct files not registering.

    We have nmon collecting performance info and it was collecting till the reboot.  No signs of the system going out of memory.  No high cpu activity either.

    All I have is the following output from last command:

    usrbatch  pts/3        pc137076.corp.ute.com.uy       Jan 20 10:30 - System halted abnormally.   (00:37)
    root      pts/2        pc149819.corp.ute.com.uy       Jan 20 09:41 - System halted abnormally.   (01:26)
    cpdope    pts/1        pc132159.corp.ute.com.uy       Jan 20 05:45 - System halted abnormally.   (05:22)

     

    Any advice?

     

    Regards and thanks in advance.

    Pablo.
