Our NetView system took a dive late Friday afternoon and I was
wondering if anyone else has seen this.

The system gets in a reboot-loop and it appears to point to
NetView or something associated with NetView.

I attached a console to the system and watched the processes start
after one of it's reboots and right after I saw:

nttl Startup completed
Starting NetView for AIX daemons:

It rebooted...I was able to go in and edit the rc.tcpip file and
comment out the line:

/etc/netnmrc

to prevent the NetView daemons from starting.  After doing this,
the system came up just fine.  I then went in and enabled the dump
device.  Next I edited the /etc/rc.tcpip file again and changed it so
that /etc/netnmrc would start after the next reboot (and hoping to
get a dump).

I rebooted the system, it came up for about 2 minutes, then back down.
I was hoping I would get a dump, but no luck.  sysdumpdev -z showed
nothing.

System is up and running now with /etc/netnmrc commented out (no NetView)
and I do have a PMR opened with Tivoli, just waiting on a callback.

Anyone seen this?
