FSAPPS file server was behaving irradically. When trying to run DSREPAIR and do an unattended repair, the nlm hung.

Other access seemed to be normal, so nothing was initially done. AFter an hour or so, things started to slow down, bindery connections were not permitted, and other “funky” things.

All users of goldmine were notified to log off the system.

The server was NOT able to be brought down gracefully. Meaning the server was powered down, all volumes were “verpaired”, and the server restarted.

All seemed normal after that.

The reason for this could have been because of:
1. Not enough memory,
2. Memory incompatibility – 2 512 chips and 2-128 chips – Novell recommends all chips be the same.
