Ever since we upgraded (from 5.3Rev2) to 5.6 on AIX 5.2.9, we have had serious issues with the monitord. When opening up a Net Monitor, 9 out of 10 times, there will be no connection with the monitord (all threads, routes showing red). Sometimes it will show its true status eventually (showing all threads on the site up, green) but sometimes it does not ever come up. Also, at times, it will throw an error, below.
McK support recommended applying Rev 2, but when we did, we ended up having to restore the test engine from backup because we couldn’t wait days for the issues of the patch installation to be resolved – not a pleasant experience and a very, very long day.
This happens on all of our sites, each site having avg. 30-35 threads per site. The ability to bring up processes and threads also is taking a much longer time than before upgrade. There is nothing being written to the process log or process error log prior to, during, or after this.
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!
