Thanks Goodman.

I am thankful for your TIP.Here is the brief summary for AIX to reboot.

I was able to telnet and ftp to and from server at the time of problem in
progress.
I also did refresh -s inetd which would reread inetd.conf.
When I tried rpcinfo -p I did not get ports on which acsls communicates,
rather I did not get any port nos in reply.(As per Schmitt Doc)
This is a very useful info because it will tell you lots of details ablou
ports on which application is running alternate would be netstat -a.

I could have re started daemons .But at the same time I was also thinking
about consistency about KERNEL THREADS ,since I did not get back system
prompt when I shut down TSM (though this did not happen subsequently).Hence
I don't want even this vent to repeat.

Balanand,

Next time, you might be able to avoid a reboot by trying the following.
I put it in a script, otherwise you never get to execute the last lines
after executing the first lines, if you are not at the console.

#!/bin/ksh

ifconfig enX down detach
sleep 10
mkdev -l enX
mkdev -l inet0

where X is the number of the Network Interface Driver/NIC you are having
problems with.
