Am I in the correct place for asking about the following on a DEC 7000 with DEFPA
controller? The problem manifests itself as very slow nfs communications across
the fddi. We also see in the kernel log file:
fta0: Ring initialized (repeated for pages and pages)
fta0: MAC CRC Error (repeated several times)
fta0: Duplicate token found
Counters show
9586 seconds since last zeroed

From uerf:
DEC OSF/1 V3.2B (Rev. 214.61)
fta0: DEC DEFPA (PDQ) FDDI Interface
fta0: Firmware rev: 2.46
The customer says there are no nodes being added/removed from the ring.
Do I ask here correctly? Any assistance would be appreciated.

FCS failure and Reinitialization received (ring init by this link)
suggest that you have a hardware fialure, probably cabling or
Concentrator if present.Or the controller itself.

Thank you for your analysis. I will have the hardware checked at that site. Nancy [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
