993.0. "ENS process dying??" by 42326::MCGILLM () Wed Sep 20 1995 06:09

    VMS V6.1 
    PCM V1.6

    Hi,

    I have a customer who recently had a problem with ENS.  Basically, what
    happened was that ENS stopped notifying any events that happened on
    nodes in the cluster (30 of them) on the PCM node.  He said that if
    they connected to the nodes then  they could see that the events were
    being recorded.

    I asked the customer if he still had a 'Console Notify' process when 
    ENS stopped working but he said that he didn't know.  A reboot cleared
    the problem and it has not re-occured.  The customer did not have the
    logical CONSOLE$DEBUG defined to anything.  I have got him to check in
    Accounting, SYS$STARTUP and in CONSOLE$LOGFILES and we have not come up
    with any information as to why this may have happened.

    Does anybody have any ideas before I tell the customer that he will
    *have* to DEFINE/SYSTEM CONSOLE$DEBUG to ENS or ALL (I have noticed a
    similar problem in note #825) as he is very reluctant to do this 
    saying that it slows his system down considerably and the problem has 
    only ever occured once.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark McGill  (UK OpenVMS Support).

    Don't define it to ALL or things will get real slow as your customer
    has pointed out. At least define the logical to "TRUE" so that the
    ENS output log will be created in CONSOLE$TMP. We'll at least have
    something further to look at and you won;t experience a performance
    degradation.
