3187.0. "CNXABORT/XLIB-F-IOERR, NEEDS HELP !!" by TAV02::ITAMAR_E () Thu Aug 09 1990 12:50

Hi,

I have a customer who get the errors:

xlib-f-ioerror, connection aborted                     
DECW-F-CNXABORT, connection aborted                     

when he tries to do the following actions.
1. He logs in to the workstation from a VT terminal
2. He creates a display via: $set display/create
                             /node=0 or the node name of the workstation
                             /transport= local or decnet
3.He runs for example the program decw$examples:ico

He has a LAVC running VMS v5.1-1 and the same version of decwindows.
The problem exist only on one of the nodes on the cluster.

I tries everything I know in order to find what's the problem including
to define the logicals:
DECW$SERVER_RETRY_WRITE_MIN 500
DECW$SERVER_RETRY_WRITE_MAX 30000

ANY HELP WILL BE BLESSED !!!!

ITAMAR.

3187.1Suggest that customer upgradeSTAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentThu Aug 09 1990 14:285
About the best advice I can give is for the customer to upgrade to VMS V5.3.
It is not guaranteed that this will fix the customer's problem, but we did
do quite a bit of work between VMS V5.1 and V5.3 to fix DECwindows transport
problems and performance.  VMS V5.3 also reports better error messages, which
makes problem diagnosis easier.
3187.2More hints pleaseTAV02::ITAMAR_ESun Aug 12 1990 03:1313
    Upgrade to V5.3 could be a good idea but the customer has some problems
    doing it now. 
    Since the problem exist only on one of the nodes of the cluster,
    I think that the answer to the problem can hide somewhere in the server
    parameters and quotas or even in the sysgen parameters, logical names
    etc...

    So, any hints in this direction could be very valuable to me and will
    be appreciated.

    Thanks,

           Itamar.
