We are running AIX 4.3.3 with a Universe database. If the system stays up
for about 15 days or so, all communication slows down to a crawl. Even a
smiple FTP transfer on the same network will be very slow.

If we reboot the system, everything goes back to normal.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help,

John Clausen

When something like this occurs, the convention is to gather as
much data as you can before putting on your Reboot Engineer

smock and hitting the BRS:

http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/fo...Big+Red+Switch

Basic commands to run:

$ netstat -a
$ netstat -p tcp
$ netstat -ni
$ vmstat 5 10
$ errpt -dH

If you need help understanding the output of these commands, the
man pages are online:

Follow the "Documentation Search" link. Please spend a little time
reading about the commands before and perhaps after running them.
If you need help after that, post your questions, along with
well-formatted command output, to the group.

Regards,

Nicholas
