Re: What would cause hundreds of interactive users all start dropping, from multiple LPARs

This is clearly a network issue of some flavor. Most LIKELY outside of the i. Sounds like a device with an overloaded table, overheating processor, or out of memory condition, or even an actual hardware issue. (e.g. bad memory that once it's accessed causes a reboot) Check your SNMP logs and syslog servers for devices that are rebooting or showing errors in the logs.

Have seen this many times over the years caused by everything from tired hardware to a bread tie. Yes you read that right the twisty thing from a loaf of bread. Zip ties and velcro are expensive you know.

We saw something similar a few years ago. Turned out it was a glitch in an addressing table in one of our switches.
