The reason is that both times the problem occurred (2 separate IPLs), most everything (especially service machines) froze up.
However, for a few intervals leading up to the first hang, the Velocity Page Space Analysis report did show large spikes in the User Owned/Attached Expanded Storage pages. All other intervals for these columns had 0. Actually, we never see anything other than 0 for these, even during a normal business day. On Sunday, we will be bringing up 5.3 again to recreate the problem and get a dump. We will then bring up a 5.3 w/5302+hipers and the test fix to try and recreate it again. Even though it's rumored that you can run for days or weeks without hitting the problem, we did it twice in one day so we're "fairly" confident that we'll be able to do it again. Especially since the second time was a more controlled IPL (as in me starting guests 1 and 2 at a time). Leland
