401.0. "HELP - Session dies !" by IOSG::WDAVIES (Was set to overload,) Tue Mar 14 1989 11:01

Hello All,
    
     I've got a problem ! When I login, I get the 3 terminals created,
    plus vaxnotes and writer and xphoon. Then all but the terminals die.
   
     I get a constant error message appearing at the operator window. 
     I've included some hopefully useful data (memory,decw$sm.log,uaf).
    
    Can anyone help me please ???????

Additional information - I've included the results of a show system.
    
    By the way, the Session Manager never gets created (not that I can see,
    and I have to re-boot to restart decwindows...takes 10 minutes - has 
    anyone got a quicker way ?)

401.2Look at globalpages and global sectionsSTAR::BROUILLETTETue Mar 21 1989 08:5713
    
    Maybe you are running out of global pages or global sections.  Each
    client which connects locally needs about 350 global pages and at least
    one global section.  You are starting a few clients there and from the
    log file it looks like the session manager fails to connect.  Do the
    following:
    	mcr install
    	mcr>/global
    
    At the end of that list will be the count of global pages used and
    free.
