The new AIX TL06 (kernel filesets 5.3.0.60) has a change in the pthread scheduling that affects GPFS.
Solution:
GPFS has a fix (596796) for this scheduling problem which will be coming out in the next GPFS maintenance levels 3.1.0.13 and 2.3.0.24. These will be coming out in the next few weeks.
If AIX 5.3 TL06 is already installed, open a Problem Call with GPFS service, who can build an efix for the current GPFS maintenance levels.
