Re: Informix hangs when NFS

We have had problems on HP-UX when using NFS (In some cases the whole machine was hanging), but I believe we applied some operating system patches that fixed it. Perhaps you can try checking for AIX patches related to NFS/LAN - are you using I-Star and if so, does the host machine hang as well as the clients ? Cheers, Richard Ridley DHL Asia Pacific
