1281.0. "FDDI protocols stop, except TCPIP" by HULLEY::HULLEY () Fri Mar 18 1994 12:59

    Hello..
    
    I had a problem on 1 vax cluster node where all the protocols except
    TCP/IP stopped working on the fddi. (decnet,lat,lavc) stopped. There
     were no apparent errors. The customer restarted lavc (now on the ethernet)
     shutdown and restarted decnet on the FDDI ok. Lat and last wouldnt run
     so the system was rebooted. No dump. Vms version is A5.5-1. I dont have
     any driver versions yet, but has anything like this been seen? The odd
    thing is that IP kept running on the fddi.
    
    
    						Thanks

1281.1FDDI protocols stopped for me too!CHEFS::MOAKESRFri Apr 18 1997 13:0313
    
    I have just gone through the same experience on a trihost OpenVMS Alpha
    V 6.1 cluster.
    
    All protocols stopped,  in fact TCP/IP stopped until the shutdown was
    initiated,  then only TCP/IP came back.
    
    After the reboot,  everything was just fine.
    
    Any thoughts anyone?

Crash the system when it is in this state and look at the dump.  You
should be able to look at the LAN data for the device, via SHOW LAN/FULL
and SHOW LAN/TIME to see what happened recently, whether any errors were
detected, or timeouts, or ring events.

The same thing can be done with the base note in spite of the two
completely different hardware configurations, one Alpha and one VAX.
