796.0. "MLS+ and PCM problem" by MARVEL::MCNULTY () Wed Jun 07 1995 18:58
[ Cross posted to MKOTS3::DEC_MLS_PLUS, note 149 ]
Folks,
I've had a customer ( a very large one with *lots* of MLS+ boxes on the way )
log a call today. He's got the following problem.
They're running, MLS+ v3.1 and Polycenter Console Manager (PCM) v1.5
He has an MLS+ system with a terminal server connected to the console. If he
installs PCM on a standard OSF/1 system, then he can connect to the remote
console without any problems.
If he then installs PCM on a second MLS+ system and uses that to connect to
the remote console, it fails with this message:
(Note: this was dictated over the phone)
Process 567 exited "console manager" xio: fatal i/o error 32 (broken pipe)
on Xserver "0:0.0" after zero requests (0 known processed) with 0 events
remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or kill client
Impact
~~~~~
They need a pretty speedy answer to this. Either a fix, or an answer which
says it won't work so they can re-think their approach. The systems which
are to be installed will not all have graphics heads.
Questions
~~~~~~~~
- Is this a known problem with PCM which is not related to MLS+
- Has PCM ever been tested/qualified with MLS+

Are you saying that he has two different PCM engines and both PCM
engines the same node configured into the database and that all config
data is identical down to the terminal server name and port number?
If so then this is the first problem. You *cannot* actively manage the
same system from more than one PCM engine at a time. This is because
the terminal server port the system is connected can only have one
LAT or TELNET connection at a time. Sure you can shut down PCM on the
engine that is currently connected to the port and then start up
PCM on the other engine and it will now be managing the console of the
system in question. You can also login to the engine that is currently
managing everything and set your X-display back to any X-capable windowing
system and then send the C3 back to it but this is al W-windowing
protocol nad doesn't have a thing to do with LAT or TELNET connections
to a server port.

Now this sounds like your trying to send the C3 back to some remote
display. Check to make sure the Session Manager security on the remote
display allows access to the display for the PCM engine and userid that
your running the C3 from.
