If you do a onstat - the >state will indicat Initializing. After the VPs are killed I issue a oninit >and the engine starts up okay. > At the point of the hang, it might help to do the following: 1) get several onstat -g ath -- try to notice which threads remain in a running state. 2) If it appears that one of the threads is remaining in a running state within all of the onstats, then we are probably looking at a run-away thread. Try to get several stack traces from that thread. This can be done by issueing an kill -7 <unix process id of vp that appears to be hung>. The processid can be done by taking the output from an onstat -g glo and the vp number from the onstat -g ath. Contact support and give them this information. It can be used to help resolve the problem. Madison Pruet
