Re: ERROR LOGGING TURNED OFF and user sessions are dropped

Consider initiating a dump, to be analyzed using kdb.

The next time this happens, do this.



sysdumpstart -p,

next

smit dump, "Copy a System Dump from a Dump Device to a File", to be
named core.0

next

kdb /var/adm/ras/core.0 /unix



I think that would work!

Subject: ERROR LOGGING TURNED OFF and user sessions are dropped



AIXer's,



I have experienced a serious problem on a p5-550
running AIX 5.3 and wonder if anyone else has had a similiar
experience or knowledge of what might be causing this problem.



The errdemon stops and the following is
in the output of errpt:
ERROR LOGGING TURNED OFF



The Console station (CDE) goes blank with just a gray screen and X
cursor.



Users that are logged in get their sessions dropped.



As root, I restart the errdemon: '/usr/lib/errdemon'



More errors get logged like the following:
BC3BE5A3 0720160206 P S SRC SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR
BC3BE5A3 0720160206 P S SRC SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR
BC3BE5A3 0720160206 P S SRC SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR

BA431EB7 0720160206 P S SRC SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR
BA431EB7 0720160206 P S SRC SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR







All of the errors have similiar items like the following
with different FAILING MODULE for each error.
