638.0. "Losing time on two Rawhides in cluster??" by UTRTSC::DRUMMEN (By motorcycle we do it fast) Fri May 30 1997 11:46

	We do have a two node RAWHIDE-cluster running VMS. And the thing
	the systems have in common is, they loose exactly the same amount
	of time. They loose about 3.5 minutes in 2 weeks.
	If we use the command $ set time without qualifiers we take the
	time in the toy and set it in VMS. That time is accurate, so the
	the hardware time itself seems ok.
	As far as I read in the sable's notesfile entry 485.4 we should have
	an accuracy of about 1 minute per month. If that is the case, then
	we are way out of line here with 7 minutes per month. Anybody seen
	this, and what to do about this????

	Haven't seen this before under VMS. Have seen under UNIX when heavy graphics (patch available). VMS supposedly did/does not have the same problem. Please post system configuration. Please post VMS and console versions as well. What are the primary applications used/running at this site?

	See the systems configuration displayed by clue config. It runs VMS V6.2-1H3 and the console firmware is V1.2-4 The main application on the system is RDB and DBMS. regards Ton Drummen SDA> clue config System Configuration: --------------------- System Information: System Type AlphaServer 4100 5/300 2MB Primary CPU ID 00 Cycle Time 3.3 nsec (299 MHz) Pagesize 8192 Byte Memory Configuration: Cluster PFN Start PFN Count Range (MByte) Usage #03 0 256 0.0 MB - 2.0 MB Console #04 256 261883 2.0 MB - 2047.9 MB System #05 262139 5 2047.9 MB - 2048.0 MB Console Per-CPU Slot Processor Information: CPU ID 00 CPU State rc,pa,pp,cv,pv,pmv,pl CPU Type EV5 Pass 4 (21164) Halt PC 00000000 20000000 PAL Code 1.18-6 Halt PS 00000000 00001F00 CPU Revision ....

	Nothing jumps out at me. Have forwarded your note to my VMS counterparts. Perhaps they'll have some ideas. Initial feedback was that they'd seen similar problems and that it wasn't platform-specific. Am waiting for more details. Will post if any update.

	P.S. Wouldn't hurt to upgrade console if customer's willing. V1.2-4 is very old. Lots has changed since V1.2-4, including some PAL bug fixes, some PCI arbitration and other register init changes, many console bugs, and of course, lots of new device support. If your customer is running with 1 wGB memory option (can't tell from info provided), then he/she should definitely update the FW. Latest SRM and AlphaBIOS consoles from V3.9 CD would be fine. BC
