563.0. "Alpha V6.2, OPA0: hangs." by PRSSOS::MAILLARD (Denis MAILLARD) Mon May 05 1997 10:37
Strange OPA0: hang problem on Alphaservers. One of our customers is
selling complete Alpha systems with dedicated applications to his own customers.
For over a year his customers have been experiencing hangs of the interactive
process connected to OPA0:. The problem is quite frequent: on some sites the
customer told me up to once a day, more frequently once or twice a week. The
only way to get out of the situation once the hang occurs is a reboot, which is
seldom practical as there are usually other users working on others terminals on
the system (these other terminals never get hung). Another characteristic is
that once the process on OPA0: gets hung, OPA0: starts experiencing errors at a
fast rate (often over ten per minutes). These errors appear in the SHOW ERROR
command, but none of them is ever entered in the errorlog!
I've recently been able to obtain a forced crash dump of an AlphaServer 300
4/266 under V6.2 that was experiencing this problem. The process is in LEF
state, has channels assigned to OPA0: (one is busy), and is apparently under DCL
(no current image, current stack is Supervisor, the recall buffer is
unfortunately not available). There is one IRP in the I/O request queue of OPA0:
with a rather strange function code (xF000, i.e. IO$_NOP plus x4000 and x8000 as
modifiers). Error count for the device is 2200, but none is in the errorlog,
except that just before the crash entry in ANAL/ERROR, one gets a message saying
%ERF-I-UNKENTRY, unknown entry type, 37
Has anybody any notion of what's happening there? Any hint would be
greatly appreciated.
Denis.

| Errors not entered in the errorlog are usually timeouts. We've fixed
many problems in this area for opdriver. You need to get the latest
patch kit -- sorry, I don't know the name (and I'm not certain that
the absolute latest code has been made into a TIMA kit yet).
I'm not sure I know what an Alphaserver 300 is, there may be platform
specific code that would improve the behavior too.

| Re .1: Thanks for the info, Sue. Do you have any idea of where this
latest OPDRIVER can be obtained? The latest tima kit for V6.2 is
ALPOPDR02_062 and it is nearly a year old (June 96). Should I raise an
IPMT to obtain the kit?
Thanks,
Denis.

That would be a good idea.

| re .0
Try enabling error logging on OPA0. ($ SET DEV/ERROR OPA0)
I vaguely recall that the func gets changed as it wends its way into
the IRP. See whether you can locate the code that queued the I/O (could
be tricky if it's DCL via RMS) and check the caller specified func.

| Re .3, .4: Thanks for the tips. Actually SHOW CALL shows that the I/O
was generated by an RMS SYS$GET, and finding the original function code
might indeed get a bit tricky. Right now I'm in the process of getting
a connection to a V6.2 source CD-ROM, and also of writing an IPMT form
to get this last version of SY$OPDRIVER.EXE.
Denis.
