We are running 7.31ud9 and Solaris 10. Instance was hung last night for TCP connections over a specific port. Have never seen this with 7.31. SUN re-wrote tcp stack for Solaris 10 and numerous tcp problems have been reported. No errors in Informix log just hung connections over tcp. Anyone seen this problem using Solaris 10.

Yes, we have experienced ports hanging - Solaris 10 with IDS 10. Go to ibm.com and search for 1233832 ( in the search box in the upper right ). Also search for 1244153, it may be related. We have not experienced the issue since updating to recommended solaris patches.

The problem was Solaris patch 118833-23. Sun recommends installing at least version 24 (118833-24) to correct the problem. We installed the latest version which is 33 (I think) and the problem went away. IBMs website: http://tinyurl.com/y98ryq Sun's website: http://tinyurl.com/h4db6
