2885.0. "ELAM Lan Autotopology Error V1.2.1.7" by BELMNT::BEAZLEY () Wed Apr 29 1992 19:44


   Hi,

     When trying to start the Spanning Tree Listener poller process, the
    process immediately terminates with the following error message:


      04-29-1992  3:40:08 PM SYS$QIOW return status for starting port: 1
      SYS$QIOW iosb condition for starting port: 28
      04-29-1992  3:40:08 PM Fatal Error - Abnormal Termination of Listener.
      

      Does anyone have an idea of waht the problem could be?



         Thanks,


           Bob

2885.1Need more info.QUIVER::HAROKOPUSWed Apr 29 1992 20:3021
Bob,

I've never seen this one before.  Can you answer the following:

1) System type you are running on and the ethernet device you are
using.  Include both the name and device type.

2) Are you running any other processes that use MOP (e.g. the ethernet AM)?
If so the listener will not run concurrently with these.

3) Are you running any other processes that allocate the ethernet device
with shared with default.  If so the listener will not run concurrently
with these.

4) Is there anything in the file mcc_common:mcc_stm_errors.log?  If so
post it.


Thanks,

Bob
2885.2Information Asked For per 2885.1 ...BELMNT::BEAZLEYWed Apr 29 1992 22:0425
 Hi,

     The information you asked for is listed below:


      1) System specifications:

          o System Type           - VAX 8600
          o Ethernet Device Type  - DEUNA
          o Ethernet Device Name  - XEA0:


       2) No MOP processes.

       3) No processes allocating the ethernet device with shared with default.

       4) The text from the error log is what I posted in 2885.0.




       I hope this helps,


             Bob

2885.4Process Quotas Exceeded ErrorQUIVER::HAROKOPUSThu Apr 30 1992 16:4518
.0 and .3

I've determined that the error you are seeing is SS$_EXQUOTA.

Can both of you do the following from the process that you tried to start the 
listener and post the result here?

$show process/quota

Also the listener starts up a detached process so you need the DETACH priveledge
to run it so please check this.

Thanks,

Bob


2885.5ELAM Lan Autotopology Error V1.2.1.7 - Results per 2885.4BELMNT::BEAZLEYThu Apr 30 1992 17:2822

    Hello again,

       The account that I am starting the Spanning Tree Listener from
     has detached privilege and the following are the process QUOTAS.


  Process Quotas:
 Account name: SYSOPS
 CPU limit:                      Infinite  Direct I/O limit:       200
 Buffered I/O byte count quota:    100000  Buffered I/O limit:     500
 Timer queue entry quota:             150  Open file quota:        150
 Paging file quota:                248419  Subprocess quota:         5
 Default page fault cluster:           64  AST quota:               98
 Enqueue quota:                       512  Shared file limit:        0

    Thanks,

2885.6Problem fixed - patch availableQUIVER::HAROKOPUSMon May 04 1992 14:0020
This problem turned out to be insufficient quotas to run the listener
detached process.   The STM listener used to run as a sub-process.  This
has been changed to a detached process.   In detached mode the process
inherits quotas from sysgen.  This is not reliable.

In order to insure that the listener
process has sufficient quotas, I have modified the command procedure
that starts the listener to grant the needed quotas to the detached process.

If you are experiencing errors starting the listener you can get a patch 
from:

QUIVER::DAYHAN::USER$WS:[DECMCC_ELM.FT_V12_UPDATE]MCC_STM_LISTENER_MENU.COM


Put this file into MCC_COMMON:MCC_STM_LISTENER_MENU.COM and you should be 
all set.
