1829.0. "DECrepeater900TM with a lot of resets ?" by COMBAT::JONSSON (Lars Jonsson) Sun Jan 01 1995 14:19

Hi,
 A customer has problems with a DECrepeater900TM which seems to reset quite
often. Current reset count is 455. FW=V1.1 and HW=V2. Are there any lowest
acceptable hardware version ? Below are some error log entrys. They have been
given to me over the phone, hopefully accurate.


Entry 		= 9
Time Stamp	= 00
Reset Count	= 454
Bus/Addr write exc. @1Dh, PC = 24A038h

Entry 		= 8
Time Stamp	= 00
Reset Count	= 453
Bus/Addr read exc. @3AC21h, PC = 246DA2h

Entry 		= 7
Time Stamp	= 00
Reset Count	= 452
Fatal Error : line 803, file enet.c

Entry 		= 6
Time Stamp	= 00
Reset Count	= 451
Exceptiom VEC #4 @ PC=F4h

There is another repeater, which seems to be OK, in the hub.
Any clues ?

Regards,
Lars

	I am having my firmwafre engineers look at the error logs.
	I will post a response shortly.

1829.2resets cause user drops?SCCAT::RAINSMon Feb 06 1995 19:38327
    We are having a customer experience PC hangs and drops to a pathworks
    server. the network is configured using fddi SAS connections using:
    - gigaswitch
    - decconcentrator 500
    - dechub900's with decbridge 900MX and decrepeater 900tm's
    
    the customer believes that 30 to 50 users experience the problem at
    the same time, while total users are 150 or so.
    He also believes that multiple hubs and segments are involved.
    The decrepeater 900tm are configured on each hub as a bridged LAN
    segment, bridged thru the decbridge 900MX. 
    
    the decbridge 900MX's is 1.4 version
    the decrepeater 900TM's are at 1.1 version
    
    we are seeing numerous resets (at the hubs, bridges and repeaters) and
    wonder if these resets have a relationship to the hangs and drops.
    its difficult to know exactly when a drop or hang occurs, some users
    reconnect and don't tell anyone or the customer help desk.
    
    the following shows results of one hub and its modules.
    the data seems to show:
    
    			up time		resets
    	_________________________________________
    the hub             92 days		11
    bridge, slot 8	92 days		7
    repeater, slot 1	92 days		6
    repeater, slot 2	6 hours		15
    repeater, slot 3	92 days		11
    repeater, slot 4	4 days		19
    repeater, slot 5	5 days		14
    
    Questions:
    
    How do we know if we are getting Unsolicited RESETs from the console?
    How do we know if we are getting Unsolicited RESETs from Hubwatch?
    
    Do users get dropped when these resets occur?
    Do we have a bad card(s) or a firmware bug?
    How do we gather additional specific information to narrow the
    	problems?
    
    
    thank for any assistance

    Hi Ken,
    
    Based on the data you've presented it looks like everything has been up
    for 92 days except for the 3 DETMMs.  I'd suggest opening an IPMT case
    against the DETMM as this looks like it may be related to two other
    current excalations against the DETMM.
