I arrived at the office at about 6:15am this morning and was greeted by
an 'unresponsive' HP3000-not the most auspicious beginning for any day,
much less Friday.  

 

Here are the symptoms:  

*       was able to ping the system, and received replies
*       was able to get an HP prompt, but unable to log in (system would
'hang' after the HELLO statement)
*       the last console message appears to be at approx. 12:14am
*       rebooted the system and verified that the system became
unresponsive shortly after midnight (our Job Rescue log did not show any
auto-scheduled jobs as having run)

 

I chose to bring up the system since it is a production day, rather than
attempting a dump (that would have cut an additional 60-90 minutes-or
longer-out of the work day... and folks were here at 5:30am ready to
work).

 

The system (997/600 running MPE 6.5pp2) is up and running now; if there
are similar experiences, with known or highly suspect causes, I would be
glad to hear of them.  Thanks.
