| With the FDDI cable unplugged from the DEMFA, the driver will declare
a fatal error every five minutes. This error is declared when the FDDI
ring remains unavailable for five minutes, but the device seems to be
operating correctly otherwise. It is declared to avoide the case where
the device gets hung reporting FDDI ring unavailable.
Why the crash after 9000 errors and 28 dyas I don't know. Sounds
like a QAR should be filed with the dump.

| You certainly want to make sure that network management can tell the
device isn't connected, but calling that a "fatal error" is NOT right.
Such terminology suggests defective hardware or internal bugs, and is
not appropriate for what may be either a cabling problem, or even an
intentional setup (hardware installed prior to availability of what it's
going to plug into).

| 521.3 | Yes,.. | STAR::SALKEWICZ | It missed... therefore, I am | Tue Mar 31 1992 12:40 | 12 |
| Agreed, and actually it should not be being logged as a fatal error.
The resetting of the board will happen. But there is no need
for fatal errors to be logged. That logging should be disabled
in the driver,.. but there is a bug there.
The crash is still interesting because the system should be able
to reset the device and log errors indefinitely, so please
file the QAR anyway..

If I have two DEMFA controllers on a 6420, and I run LAT on one of
them... IE: DEMFA unit A is running LATmaster
DEMFA unit A kicks the big one.
does LAT switch over AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT session loss
to DEMFA unit B ?
send mail to SUBWAY::HILTON thanks!!!!!

Bill,
Why use a QAR ? I thought a QAR was for field test problems only ?!?!

| 521.7 | QARa are your (and my) friend | STAR::SALKEWICZ | It missed... therefore, I am | Wed Apr 08 1992 14:28 | 11 |
| NO ,.. QARs are for released software as well,... and the reason to use
them is that it convinces people that a problem is real. Believe it
or not, its eaiser for me to make changes to my driver if I have
QARs,.. because in managements eyes I am then fixing a "real"
problem,.. as opposed to one I dreamed up or one that I just
fell like fixing,...
Like the man says: When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro
