Hello Alan, Seriously, what in your opinion are the odds that a problem with a paging volume on a running system that's having NO OTHER paging problems could
produce the symptoms of ONLY and ALWAYS failing on IPL vdev? Replacing paging volumes might be simple and easy but -given the symptoms as described- I see it as being so incredibly unlikely to resolve the problem that even the slight effort involved is unjustified without something else to corroborate the, "bad pack" hypothesis. Finding out if IPL CLEAR works and checking with Support for known problems are both (in my view) even simpler and easier and even negative answers will at least move Ed's understanding forward. Rob's TRSOURCE suggestion also looks like effort that one can expect to bear some fruit even if, again, it's of a negative nature. I'd be nervous about IPLing without understanding the problem - if for no other reason than potentially destroying the evidence without ever identifying the cause. (This is, of course, Ed's call - does he want to identify the problem or is he happy for it to just, "go away" - if the latter and it's not too disruptive to his community then maybe an IPL is justified ...) Regards Jeff
