Monday this week, late in the day, system seemed to hang. I tried to start a
fresh session, got through login, no prompt. Within minutes others reported
this. Some users inside running programs still seemed to be able to work for
a while . no prompt on the console, but messages were appearing there, but
could not get a prompt - not network specific. Some attempts at login then
got 'cant initiate new sessions now' msg. Using hipri forced a login, but no
prompt.

After  a while we gave up and rebooted it, and its been up ok since.

Anybody have any idea what could tie it up so tightly that no ci could get
started? There was activity on the disks that sort of looked normal.

N series, 1GB RAM, 2 HDD, 7gb free space, 1 x 220Mhz cpu. Max sessions 280,
have seen it pass 250 a few times.

 

thanks,

john
