RE: [FW1] AIX Hanging - Frequent Reboot

Does the system take an extra ordinary long time to come up when rebooting?
If it does it may be DNS within AIX causing problems with FW1 GUI
connection. I have seen funny things happen when this is the problem. Check
into "smit" to see if the interfaces are configured correctly (i.e. subnet
mask). Also do a netstat -rn and check the routing table and make sure that
looks ok. Just some suggestions....hope they help.

	Further issue here ... this may \may not be related

	Essentially when we run "firewall_stop" then "firewall_start", the
GUI
	cannot connect to the server. The only way to resolve the issue is
to reboot
	the system - strange as AIX is "meant" to have a dynamic kernal.
This was
	first discovered when putting a new license on the system.
	Are there any non-obvious process dependencies that we should be
aware of? 
	And what about other known problems? (Note we've inherited an
AIX/FW1
	setup).

Crash on

	Noel,

	I see similar behavior with Log Viewer on Solaris 2.6 (both FW-1 3.0
& 4.0).
	However, if I kill the Log Viewer process (fwlv), it normally
behaves better
	when I launch it the next time.  I've never had to stop/start the FW
though,
	a kill -9 on the fwlv process normally works for me.

Either AIX
