As I had intimated in my last post, I ended up kicking the plug on the DB engine. On reboot, I reinit'd the DB and it went on its merry way. I've had to do this several times over the last couple of years.

CA techs say I should be performing weekly mtce an the DBs (as per the URL above) but that's a load of crap.

I'm thinking that when I go to Brightstor 9, that I may try using SQL instead of their wonky engine. Any thoughts?
