1517.0. ""RATE" DIALOG command problem?" by CSC32::D_DONOVAN (SummaNulla(The High Point of Nothing)) Wed Apr 09 1997 15:46

	I just noticed some "strange" behavior with the DIALOG 
"RATE" command and would like to know if someone could independently
verify it.  

	When I specify a "RATE" equal to or greater than "60" my 
subsequent "SEND" command hangs indefinitely.  Conversely - if
I specify "59" or less it doesn't.  

	Here's the DIALOG script file that I'm using.  I'm connecting
to a HSJ controller and removing a member of a RAID set and then 
iteratively showing the raidset trying to capture the time the 
the reconstruction starts/stops in the logfile.  I originally wanted
to use "large" rates at start of the script and then reset the "RATE"
as the estimated completion time approaches.

Thanks,

Dennis

	This happens because of internal restriction in one of PCM routines. Open an IPMT, please, we'll fix your problem. Regards, PCM Engineering.
