RE: Freezing AS400

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

I can recall a similar situation.  In our case the cause was a bad
twisted-pair cable somewhere on our Ethernet network.  Two of the wires
crossed and our AS/400 was so busy logging hardware errors that no other
activity was possible.  We could sign on to the console, but just the
signon took ten minutes or more.  No messages were logged to history,
but in SST we could find the hardware errors logged; have you looked
there?
