3284.0. "Exception: Insufficient Resources at Target Entity" by COL01::LUNT () Wed Jul 01 1992 16:58

    Hello,
    
    	I am having troubles with setting up alarms on Routers. On the
    routers that are reachable over Translan-Bridge connections, I often
    get exceptions " Insufficient Resources at Target Entity". I am
    currently running DECmcc X1.2.21. Before, with older versions, I
    got this type of exception from Routers on the same LAN. Now I only
    get the message from my "remote" routers, if you will. This problem
    seems to occur when the  Translan Bridge is heavily loaded.
    
    Each router has 2 alarms for the Ethernet Circuit and 3 alarms per
    synchronous circuit. The Routers in question have 3 to 4 synchrounous
    lines apiece. The alarms poll in 15 minute Intervals.
    
	I seem to remember reading, that Engineering built in a fix, that
    repolled the alarm, when it got this error ( Insufficient Resources
    at Target Entity ). Is this correct? If so how many times does DECmcc
    repoll when it gets this error? 
    
    	Does anyone have any ideas, how I can get around this problem. Will
    staggering the polling times by a couple of seconds help in this case?
    I remember there was an earlier note, as to this topic, but I can't
    seem to find it ( I would be happy with a pointer to the correct note).
    
    Thanks for any insight,

3284.1max logical links ?MFRNW1::SCHUSTERKarl Schuster @MFR Network ServicesThu Jul 02 1992 06:285
    Did you check the maximum logical links executor parameter ?
    It must be large enough for all the MCC links.
    ( check maximum logical links executor counter ).

3284.2max links-> how high?COOQUE::LUNTThu Jul 02 1992 08:2817
Hello Karl,


	This could be my problem. We set the maximum links from 32
tp 64 just recently, because we had problems with not being able to
create terminal windows. My question on you is, does every alarm in
my batch job then need a link? The Routers that give me the "Insufficient
Resources" exception are at the bottom of my batch job. Also I have
about 103 router alarms, and 100 bridge alarms. 

How high can I set this parameter?
I am running on a VAX 4000-500

Thanks,

Julie Ann

    We have set it to 128. But it can be higher, I think.

3284.4any more ideas??COL01::LUNTFri Jul 10 1992 08:2919
    Hello again,
    
    	I have set the maximum number of links to 124 but that didn"t
    really help. I realize that there is a large time delay because
    the poll must travel over a 64K TransLAN line. Are there any plans
    to either increase the number of times DECmcc repolls, or the time
    DECmcc waits for an answer? I really need a solution here. For our 
    Bridges that are over the TransLAN 64 K lines we have a similar
    problem that Enginneering is tackling. I think however that
    polling over TransLAN bridges is a general problem, and as we don"t
    have director to director communications yet, this is the only way to
    see an alarm locally on the iconic map without having to have many
    sattelite mcc stations and many maps on your window. (The customer is
    not keen on the idea of many DECmcc stations with or without
    director communications as it costs money!! )
    
    Thanks for any help or ideas,
