@RecoveryOne: You are right, this looks like a HW problem. Still, as long as we know nothing about his environment (is this an LPAR? is in an unvirtualised system? Is there a VIOS? had it errors during boot? ...) we have no chance of contributing anything purposeful to this problem.

To add to his problems: he has a HACMP cluster running and this will not recover itself from a "script error" like the one it has already run into. You need to use HACMP-recovery-procedures to get out of this state and this needs a sound understanding of how HACMP (=SystemMirror, =PowerHA) works. It is difficult to troubleshoot something as complex as a cluster over the internet and in fact it is bordering on criminal to have someone who is obviously way out of his league to administrate a system deemed valuable and mission-critical enough to warrant a (rather costly) HA-solution. This is like buying a Formula-One racing car and setting a 5-year-old behind the steering wheel.

@trevian3969: sorry, if this sounds like a personal attack - it is not! But from the phrasing of your questions i can tell that you never had any in-depth experience with AIX at all and a system with HACMP installed is most likely too valuable (otherwise why bother with high-availability at all?) to be administrated by someone who has no working experience with the system at all. You are attempting things even some seasoned AIX administrators would be uncomfortable with. Any newbie would be in exact the same situation as you are now.

I hope this helps.
