    Hopefully, this situation isn't that unique, although I've searched
    usenet and haven't found anything that helps as of yet. I'm running a
    pSeries 510 with 4 partitions (1 VIO, 2 AIX 5.3, 1 SUSE 9). This
    system, along with an HMC, will be used for traveling demos. On one of
    my AIX 5.3 partitions, I have Oracle 10G installed. While on the
    network in the office, Oracle runs correctly (apps connect, life is
    good)...

    However, once I powerdown and restart the server and partitions without
    the network the fun begins. -- Oracle won't accept any connections
    (the listener starts but can't seem to listen for the instance I
    created anymore). The database doesn't want to shutdown unless
    'shutdown abort' is issued. Oracle is using 50% of the assigned
    processor; although I have no clue what its doing. It will maintain
    this usage indefinitely (I've let it run over night). I've flushed
    the routing tables, which hasn't helped. Other network related tasks
    (ssh, ftp, etc )on the partition are working correctly. All the
    partitions, as well as another node I have in the switch (that's no
    longer on the network) can communicate with each other. If I reboot
    and place the switch back on the network, all is well. Any thoughts on
    how I can get Oracle to run on AIX without the network? I'll post a
    similar thread in an Oracle group to see if they have any ideas.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
