Engine Hang
Posted in 1999

We have recently upgraded to IDS 7.30 UC7 and Solaris 7 and are now
experiencing problems. After running for 1 or 2 hours our engine will
hang, running the pstack utility on the pid of the oninits shows a kaio
process on the top of the stack. After pstack has been run on the
oninit with the stuck kaio process, normal operation begins again
(perhaps because pstack stops and restarts the process, I don't know).
I called Informix, they -no suprise here- said it was a Sun problem. We
are working with Sun, but I was hoping someone else had seen this
behavior before.
I am unsure of the correct combination of onstat's and unix reports
needed to help solve the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
