6139.0. "DEC3000 running OSI and IMPM crashes!" by DPDMAI::GALVIN (Baggins' Rings, payment in advance!) Thu Oct 13 1994 22:34

    	OSI on an AXP
    
    I'm running BMS V1.3 on an OpenVMS V6.0 system.  I've been zooming the
    display to an AXP DEC3000, which has been working fine for months...
    I've been running OSI on the VMS node; today I decided to upgrade
    the AXP (which is running OpenVMS);  well it keeps crashing!
    
    Does anyone know if ther are any bugs in the most recent OSI, I believe
    it's 2a...  I realize this note is better suited for OSI; I've placed
    it there.  I just figured that alot of people that use MCC are using
    Alpha and/or OSI in some shape or form..
    
    thanks for all replies,

6139.1bugcheck, SSRVEXCEPT with OSI on AXPDPDMAI::GALVINBaggins' Rings, payment in advance!Tue Oct 18 1994 08:0528
    
    In further investigating this problem I've seen this...
    
    
    NODE 0 DNS CLERK
    
    BUGCHECK
    CODE 000003C4: SSRVEXCEPT, UNEXPECTED SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION
    CRASH CPU: 00 PRIMARY CPU: 00 ACTIVE CPUS: 00000001
    CURRENT PROCESS = DNS$ADVER
    IMAGE NAME = 'DISK'[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]DNS$ADVER.EXE
    STARTING MEMORY DUMP
    
    I will be creating a dumpfile today to analyze further...
    
    My question is, can I have a LOCAL namespace and run OSI on a DEC3000
    running OpenVMS V6.0?
    
    I've put this in the OSI conference, but again, I am using MCC to zoom
    my IMPM from a VAXstation, so I thought it relevant to this
    conference...
    
    thanks in advance for all replies...

6139.2fixed it with FM...!DPDMAI::GALVINBaggins' Rings, payment in advance!Tue Oct 18 1994 22:0317
    
    Well, I'll save anyone trouble that is tackling a similar problem...
    here's what I found... first of all, the DEC3000 I used is a 'plug n'
    play' beauty...  It was built pre-configured.  I always have a problem
    with that... how do *they* know how I want *my* system configured...?
    
    Anyway, the only other software I've installed on it is TCP/IP Services
    for Alpha OpenVMS, so I didn't need or even care to do any tuning...
    Since the problem described in .0, I've increased GBLPAGES,
    GBLSECTIONS, and finally increased PAGEDYN.
    
    Now I was able to fix the problem with the bugcheck, however, the IMPM
    is extremely slow and I believe I'll need to scope in further and do
    more tuning...err!  So much for pre-configured software, eh?  8^)
