There is no native way in AIX to determine which process actually owns a
port.  You could however obtain lsof from off the web and it will tell you.

The only thing I have seen in this regard is a bad ruleset in
ESE.automation.  Not using that?  They you'll have to call Support I think.

Subject:  I/O impact on interprocess communication





Hi,

I have observed a problem with processes hanging ( ie. GUI halting, or GUI
unable to
shutdown - ie. just sitting there ) when a very high and sustained I/O
overhead is applied
to the system.

The platform: H50 running AIX 4.3.2
Framework : V3R6
Netview : V5R1

When I look at the "netstat -na" output at these times I see a slowly
incrementing send-q
figure for a certain Netview port ( but not listed in  the release notes
)..

Has anyone seen this sort of problem. If so - is there some tuning that can
be performed to
make the Netview GUI more resilient?

Also I can't remember the procedure for determining what is the owner of
the port - I know it's
part of Netview but I want to be able to describe the problem more clearly.
