Next time, have the SA induce a system dump. Take that dump, run it through crash(1m) and get a process listing at time of dump.

Use that listing to confirm the BIG memory/paging space users at the time.

Enable Memory Load Control so you'll not lose access to the server.

Sounds to me like your system ran out of paging space.
