Hi, IBM has recommended a reboot of the server after running this command: bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice I have ran the command and am now waiting for a reboot window on the server. After all the research and comments I read out there, the most useful one was a translated page from German that told me my server was high... Too funny. But it mentioned a broken connection to a kernel module that was probably done during a patch or upgrade that wasn't rebooted after the install (which IBM concurred on). Could be, I have only been here a few months and from the history of this server, ntp has never successfully worked. I will update this link after I reboot.
