Bob,

I've never seen this one before.  Can you answer the following:

1) System type you are running on and the ethernet device you are
using.  Include both the name and device type.

2) Are you running any other processes that use MOP (e.g. the ethernet AM)?
If so the listener will not run concurrently with these.

3) Are you running any other processes that allocate the ethernet device
with shared with default.  If so the listener will not run concurrently
with these.

4) Is there anything in the file mcc_common:mcc_stm_errors.log?  If so
post it.


Thanks,

Bob

 Hi,

     The information you asked for is listed below:


      1) System specifications:

          o System Type           - VAX 8600
          o Ethernet Device Type  - DEUNA
          o Ethernet Device Name  - XEA0:


       2) No MOP processes.

       3) No processes allocating the ethernet device with shared with default.

       4) The text from the error log is what I posted in 2885.0.




       I hope this helps,


             Bob                                                      

    Same problem,
            system type     uVax 3600
            controller      DELQA
            Device name     XQA0:

.0 and .3

I've determined that the error you are seeing is SS$_EXQUOTA.

Can both of you do the following from the process that you tried to start the 
listener and post the result here?

$show process/quota

Also the listener starts up a detached process so you need the DETACH priveledge
to run it so please check this.

Thanks,

Bob

    Hello again,

       The account that I am starting the Spanning Tree Listener from
     has detached privilege and the following are the process QUOTAS.


  Process Quotas:
 Account name: SYSOPS
 CPU limit:                      Infinite  Direct I/O limit:       200
 Buffered I/O byte count quota:    100000  Buffered I/O limit:     500
 Timer queue entry quota:             150  Open file quota:        150
 Paging file quota:                248419  Subprocess quota:         5
 Default page fault cluster:           64  AST quota:               98
 Enqueue quota:                       512  Shared file limit:        0
 Max detached processes:                0  Max active jobs:          0


    Thanks,

       Bob

This problem turned out to be insufficient quotas to run the listener
detached process.   The STM listener used to run as a sub-process.  This
has been changed to a detached process.   In detached mode the process
inherits quotas from sysgen.  This is not reliable.

In order to insure that the listener
process has sufficient quotas, I have modified the command procedure
that starts the listener to grant the needed quotas to the detached process.

If you are experiencing errors starting the listener you can get a patch 
from:

QUIVER::DAYHAN::USER$WS:[DECMCC_ELM.FT_V12_UPDATE]MCC_STM_LISTENER_MENU.COM


Put this file into MCC_COMMON:MCC_STM_LISTENER_MENU.COM and you should be 
all set.
