Guys, 

 

I have a number of sites here which have been having issues with their
MF XP farms where the IMA service will hang on startup, upon rebooting
of the server.

 

Recreating the LHC doesn't make any difference, sometimes removing the
server from the farm and adding it back into the farm with the chfarm
tool works, other times it doesn't.

 

All of my sites are using an SQL datastore. This is an intermittent
problem and on some sites it will occur only once or twice every 6-12
months, were others it may occur a number of times a month.

 

Down time has been minimised as they are all load balanced farms and the
customers all have a good change control/recovery plan and can typically
have the servers back in production within an hour.

 

In a farm one server may fail and the others work fine, where in other
farms multiple servers may fail.

 

The problem is why is this all of a sudden happening now.

 

Anyone seen this behavior before?

 

All sites are running MFXP FR3/SP3 or FR2/SP2 with Win2k SP3 and their
SQL server is running SQL 2k SP3a
