Description
Virtual partition may hang after a panic.
Symptoms
If a running virtual partition panics, it is possible that under certain
rare
conditions, the panicking virtual partition could hang while trying
to handle the panic. In a normal panic situation, the system displays
the reason for the panic and a menu of crashdump options within
several minutes of the panic. In this case, no panic message or
option to choose the type of crashdump is displayed. vparstatus
indefinitely reports the virtual partition state as crashing.
Workaround
The hung virtual partition should be reset using vparreset -h and
booted back up.
