Hello, We are experiencing some problems on one of our systems, it is an A2100 with DU V3.2D-2. We were running with DECnet/OSI for Digital UNIX V3.2A but due to very regular hangs we upgraded two days ago to V3.2B, but we still have the same problem. The problem is that DECnet "does not work anymore", no dlogins, no dls no mails. Looking at it a bit closer, I see that we can't do anything anymore on the session control level, doing whatever command regarding the session control just hangs. Has anyone seen this ? Here follows a result of two things : ps -e | grep dn + an extract of the daemon.log file. In the daemon.log I see that errors are reported, what do they mean ? What and where is the dns clerk event file ? At the moment of the hangs a decnetshutdown fails, the only solution is to reboot the system. Thank you for any info Regards.

If you disable the DNS clerk, do things start working again? ncl disable dns clerk | |||||
2125.2 | will check it next week | BACHUS::ROELANDTS | Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut | Fri Feb 07 1997 09:20 | 8 |
I'll check that next time the system hangs, in the mean time I shut decnet re-ran the configuration and restarted decnet. We'll see what happens Thank you and regards, Guy | |||||
2125.3 | disable dns clerk did not help | BACHUS::ROELANDTS | Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut | Mon Feb 17 1997 05:17 | 12 |
in reply to .1 : no, I tried it out but am still having problems, still no DECnet connectivity anymore. I did install patches on V3.2B (the ones from netrix::patches/OSF/V3.2B) and will reboot the system at noon, we'll see how our system will behave after that. Rgds, Guy | |||||
2125.4 | dns clerk event file | JACEK::DANIELEWSKI | Fri Feb 21 1997 03:59 | 7 | |
If you want to get rid of "... dns clerk event file ..." events, try #touch /var/dss/dns/dnsclerk/dnsclerk.events It was suggested by Vince Wallace in note 2066.3 and worked for me. -Wlodek. | |||||
