Thanks for the suggestion. As SOP, we update all firmware, every few
months, so this box is up-to-date.
The Dell diagnostics finally finished, CLEAN. No issues found.
I have some of the FODC logs when the first error occurred (was moving them
to another filespace as fast as I could when the disk was filling up to
100% due to DB2 dumps). Don't know if there is enough info to show what
happened.
At this point it is going to be a wipe and rebuild.
