I got a few new p505s recently. Installed AIX 5.3 (ML 3 & ML 4) on
them. Various version of Oracle, DB2 and WAS installed. Each one of
them also has samba, cvs, and java5 installed.

They are downstairs in a rack. I have a machine running Solx86 on my
desk, which i use to export the displays to. Up untill yesterday
everything was working fine. Id export the db2 installer to the
solaris desktop, and install.

When i tried to install a newer version of db2 yesterday on one of the
servers, the gui took almost 10 mins to load. I ran topas on the
server and prstat on the display. The machine that the x-windows was
being EXPORTED to was spiking at 100% CPU usage. The machine the
window was COMING FROM was going along grand.

So i checked the other p505s. All suffering from the same issue. Tried
exporting them to another machine in the same rack. Same issue. Tried
exporting other machines from the same rack to upstairs. They all
worked fine.

Im actually at a loss here to try and figure this out. The fact that
the display is the one with 100% CPU utilization is what is boggling
me.

Any ideas?
