Can anybody help with these errors being logged on two different
DEC 7000-620's with DEMFA's connected to a Gigaswitch? DEMFA's and
ports on the Gigaswitch has been changed, but these errors still
continue and cause LAT users to get disconnected. Frequency of
errors can range from once a week to several times a day.
I'm about ready to escalate... Just thought I'd post here for
help (and maybe also help someone else if a fix is found later).
Thanks,
Dale

| 1541.1 | No solutions, but some questions.... | PROXY::JEAN | MAUREEN JEAN | Wed Dec 28 1994 14:44 | 13 |
Can you get me the revision of the hardware? Unfortunately you will have to look at the module to do this. Also, you said that you changed DEMFA's. Does this mean you replaced both modules out or swapped DEMFA's in the two systems? Is this a new configuration? If not, has anything recently changed?? Thanks, Maureen | |||||
| 1541.2 | See note 395 in school::gigaswitch | ANGLIN::MILLER | Wed Dec 28 1994 21:23 | 7 | |
I have cross posted this note in the Gigaswitch conference as it
appears to be the problem. Please see note 395 there.
Regards,
Dale

| 1541.3 | Same errors | ANGLIN::HUGHESD | Tue Mar 28 1995 12:30 | 153 | |
I'm receiving the same errors in my system with the only difference being tha
fact that I don't have a Gigaswitch on this network.
I have 2 Alpha 7610's DSSI clustered together each with 2 DEMFA FDDI
controllers (the 2nd one's circuit is turned off because they still run Decnet
phase IV). I don't know the module revision but, I want to say it's F something.
I will check it the next time I'm on site.
The DEMFA logs receive format errors intermitantly and I swapped the 2 DEMFA's
with no change on symptoms.
Recently I discovered that I could reproduce the errors by logging into a
decserver via NCP with the following command.
NCP> conn node xxxxxx via mfa-0 physical address 08-00-2b-xx-xx-xx
After a short period of time on the Decserver (making port changes), I (and all
the lat users) would get bumped off back to the NCP prompt and the DEMFA would
log the errors.
Here is a example of the errorlog. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

You should escalate as an IPMT case against VMS. Mention that it is
the same problem as in IPMT case #23679. There is a new FXDRIVER
available for this problem.

Bill,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have to escalate through the CSC so I
will start that process now.
Thanks,
Dave
