1248.0. "Fails to start decw on VS3100" by EMILE::GRAMOND (Jean-philippe,happy father of 3) Wed Aug 09 1989 11:26

    config: LAVC	boot node 8350 running VMS 5.1-1, 32MB of memory
    		        satellites 2XVS200 8MB, 1VS3100 8MB
    			All pagefiles on local disks
    
    On VS2000 DECW works perfectly.
    On VS3100 DECW refuses to start while VWS works perfectly.
    
    1 . The error logged into DECW$SERVER_0_OUTPUT.LOG is "Can not get input 
    buffer"
    2 . The Server process crashes due to access violation during 
    initialisation of TTA0:
    3 . After each process termination tta0: error count increases of two and a
    show dev tta0:/full shows "device timed out" 
    4 . GCA0 is offline
    
    I tried to reduce the systartup_V5.com to the following three lines :
    
    	@sys$startup:startnet
    	wait 00:00:30
    	@sys$startup:decw$startup
    
    Pool and page parameters seem to be large enough
    
    Any idea will be very apreciated
    thanks

1248.1Some command file or program using tta0?STAR::BMATTHEWSWed Aug 09 1989 14:445
Is something allocating tta0? Keyboard input comes thru tta0. From your
description it appears that the server cannot assign a channel to tta0.
Is the refcnt on tta0 0? If not then that is the problem.
