Re: IDS 9.30 on a virtualised HP-UX platform; "Checkpoint Stalled"

You mentioned an HP-UX virtualized environment... Do you mean an IA64 machine emulating an older PA-RISC architecture? If yes, it will probably not work properly... you may try to use just one CPU VP if you're not doing that already... But you'll most likely hit other issues... If all this matches up, I can dig a bit more information.... By the way, I know of customers trying more or less the same with Oracle and they also had problems... Apparently the emulation is a bit "different"... One thing you may try, is to disable all the optimizations introduced by the newer architecture... things like CPU cache, pre-fetch or whatever sounds similar... I had a situation similar to that one with a customer, but I haven't followed the situation trough the whole process... Regards.
