eerrrrrrrmmmm.... sure must be beside my troubleshooting document for when parachutes fail to open... (very sorry i couldn't resist)

Your company should have a AIX admin that must be capable of troobleshoot basic and advance problems with the OS, also your company should perform preventive tasks to avoid this unexpected downtimes... also most companies have 3rd level support contracts to support their AIX environments.

The only reason for a AIX box to "go down" is hardware failure or corrupt software, in any case you should have a recent backup.

hi thanks for reply , can you please check if you know any commands to see work processes or to see different buffers available and database backups successful or not

to check workprocesses from OS use command dpmon

dpmon pf=<profile>

to check backups look at the brtools logs.

Check this IBM AIX Guide that is wisely called "AIX commands you should not leave home without"

Hi Akhil,

You can use following command in AIX to check SAP.

1. ps -ef | grep dw OR ps -ef | grep <SID> (To check the SAP processes)

2. ps -ef | grep ora_ (to check oracle processes)

2. topas (To monitor system performance, paging, cpu utilization, etc)

Hope this will help.
