4666.0. "Can't access a Terminal Server....MCC 1.2" by MLNCSC::BARILARO () Thu Mar 11 1993 03:40

Hi,

	A customer of ours has a problem managing a DS200, some time ago
	he registered it without apparent problem, now when he try to 
	have some infos from it (via FCL or Iconic Map) the process goes
	in HIB state and he couldn't retake control of it.

	I tried to restart the TSAM, deregister the terminal server, register
	it again (without success...), to register it like a Ethernet station
	(still without success), BUT I'm able to connect to it via NCP or 
	TSM without problem. I tried to see if there are differences 
	between this DS200 (name DSVSIP) and another (name DSVSP1) that 
	I'm able to manage with MCC, but I find only little ,and IMHO,
	non important differences (circuit timer and Keepalive Timer).

	Has anyone ideas about this problem??? 

	Here there are the log file of the batches that tried (from yesterday!!)
	to register this DS200 like Terminal Server and Ethernet Station, I run 
	it via batch because I'm connect remotly and whant to check in what
	state the process go (HIB state), the SDA output of of one of this 
	batch and the result of the connection via NCP.

					Thanks in advance for helps,
					Ciao 	Luciano Barilaro

4666.1Something similiarZUR01::SCHNEIDERRThu Mar 11 1993 04:4611
Hello,

We have here something similiar. We have registered more than 20 TS of
different types. We had no problems. But now we cant access them to show or set
the attributes. I deregistered one without problem but I'm not able to register
it again. The window (register or show) is just hanging arround. No error-
message, nothing.
I have no further investigations done till now.
Are there any known problems arround this behaviour?

Regards Roland
4666.2Something you might want to trySPANKY::SAWYERThu Mar 11 1993 13:1821
    Hi,
    
    I had a similar problem at a customer site...some terminal_servers
    would register and some wouldn't.  The syntax I was using was
    
    Register terminal_server .ts.xxxx addr xxxxxxxx,type xxxxx
    
    I beat my head in trying to get the others to fully register...
    then I changed the syntax to:
    
    Register terminal_server NAMESPACE:.ts.xxxx .....bla bla bla
    
    and it worked...I have no idea why...but it worked.
    
    I never figured out why some registered without the namespace 
    specification and some only registered with it specified...they
    were even the same model of terminal server...
    
    This is something you might want to try...as far fetched as it seems.

4666.3Now didn't work nothing.....MLNCSC::BARILAROFri Mar 12 1993 11:5429
    Hi,
    
    	The problem doesn't seem anymore related to a single Terminal 
    	Server, but more on the full TSAM. 
    	Now (I mean today, yesterday was different...), I'm unable to 
    	connect to a terminal server that yesterday worked (for es.
    	MCC> SHOW TERMINAL .SERVER.DSVSP1 ALL CHAR), the process goes in
    	HIB state.
    
    	After I restarted the TS_AM server process I was able to register
    	the terminal server that yesterday I was unable to 
    	(and yesterday I tried many times, please believe me....).
    	For a while I was able to show characteristics from all the servers, 
    	but on the second show  the process again hanged around...
    
    	I create a command file that run MCC and make a command like 
    	"show terminal * type", I started it at 12, the first time 
    	worked, now he's still in HIB state.
    
    	I also try the Rob's solution, using the complete DNS name,
    	it didn't work.
    
    	So, for the engineering's people, is there a QAR on this problem ?
    	Or is it possible to open one ?
    	The customer in question want an answer, I could manage it for a
    	while, not for ever....
    
    					Thanks in advance for any help,
    					Ciao	Luciano Barilaro

Hello,

Luciano is right. It's important for us to solve the problem, too. Luciano is not
the only one with this problem.


Thanks for your help Roland
4666.5With TSAM v1.0-2 works....MLNCSC::BARILAROThu Mar 18 1993 03:329
    Hi,
    	
    	I installed the TSAM v1.02 to my customer and now the problem
    	seems disappearing, at least for the moment.
    
    	I saw topic from other people that had installed the same patch
    	kit and has still the problem, so I don't feel completly confident.
