<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting. We just deployed an ESS here and are running into a very similar problem with the gui refresh it appears. Takes my ppc64le's about 45 seconds to run rinv when they are idle.<br>
I had just opened a support case on this last evening. We're on ESS 5.3.4 as well. I will wait to see what support says. <br>

I have seen the same on ppc64le. From time to time it recovers but then it starts again. The timeouts are okay, it is the hardware. I haven opened a call at IBM and they suggested upgrading to ESS 5.3.5 because of the new firmwares which I am currently doing.
I can dig out more details if you want.<br>
