719.0. "Problem on Firefox with decterm & decwindows..." by QUARRY::ZGRAGGEN (Searching for infinity...) Wed May 03 1989 09:17

    Hi, (help!)
    
    I've just got my VS3540 and I put it into our LAVC (VMS V5.1-1), the
    problem we are seeing is that when I log in decterm can't start, it
    runs out of re-tries. If I then try to create a decterm the session
    manager gets blown away.
    
    Is there anything I should have installed before? A patch? ROM levels
    to low?
    
    If anyone can help...
    
    Thanks,
    	Peter
    
    P.S. I've upped all the normal sysgen params, but to noavail.

	RE:.0 Look at the log file to see why the DECterms could not be started. Also look in the SYSUAF with AUTHORIZE and see what the account's quotas are. I suspect a quota too low or a process create limit too low. /s/ Roger

	Hi, UAF quotas are very high, and work on other members of the cluster. DECW$SM.LOG example included below (quite small) Peter Session Message: Started DECterm controller %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=04, virtual address=7FF26600, PC=000CED25, PSL=0BC00 Improperly handled condition, image exit forced.

719.3	GBLPAGFIL?	MRFLEX::MILLER	Bush For President...Kate Bush!	`Wed May 03 1989 13:41`	7
	Last time this happened to me it was GBLPAGFIL set too low. In my case it was less than the recommended 6k. Regards, == ken miller ==
719.4	Check DECW$DISPLAY logical	DCC::ALDEN	Ken Alden	`Tue May 09 1989 06:07`	12
	I've seen this also on the 3540, and the problem was that DECW$display was not defined. By trashing this logical, you can very easily create a "Captive" workstation, as you'll find that by eliminating the logical from the job table, and then asking for a new DECterm, the session manager will crash. If you're still having the trouble, log in from the network, and check on the logicals... -Ken
