Are you running Domino on this box?  We had to put up some PTF's to correct a
run away Domino job that was gobbling up our temp storage and was near ready
to crash the system.

Usually when twinax display shows top left corner, it is not
communicating.....the device can be varied off.  I have also seen a controller
go bad on the system and have to have hardware replaced.

Just a couple of ideas to check.  Hope this helps.

Subject: AS/400 Locking up

About 30 days ago for the first time, my little 170 just locked up.  TCP
and Twinax stopped working, no error code on the front panel, the power
light was green, and the processor light was lit up solid.   After
talking with IBM (hours later), I had to manual power down.  Once back
up, there were no error listings in any of the logs or in Service Tools.
Then 2 weeks later, it did it again.  Then over this past weekend,
again yesterday and now this morning.  Hardware support thinks it's
software.  I am on hourly support with Software, and I don't want to
spend the money just find out it's an IBM issue ($250 an hour is not in
my budget).  I upgrade to v5r1 ,with all the PTFs at the time, in
February.  Nothing new has been added since then.  Other then ordering
the latest CUM (which I did), I am stumped.  Has anyone ran into this
before?
