4249.0. "NET3101: which resource?" by OTOOA::GMACDONALD (Its badluck to be superstitious) Mon Apr 07 1997 11:14

Hi.  A customer of ours has received the following error:

	NET3101: The system ran out of a resource controlled by the SESSIONS
	option.

They have defined enough users for their configuration (120, around 110 max
are connecting.)

I have read note 1010 and it mentions that they are low on some resource.  How
do you check to see which resource is causing the problem?

PW version is 5.0-420D

Thanks. Grant.

	Grant, W/o exception, the net3101 error means you have no more sessions. To confirm: $ search/window pwrk$lmmcp_<node>.log repeat (be sure to search the lmmcp log that was open at the time). Look for a message about max clients being reached and "this message will not be repeated." They might have clients using more than one session. It's always a good idea to pad it (and don't be too conservative)... Paul

	Paul, you're right. That's the problem. Their clients are all using Windows 95. How does a client use more than one session? Is it based on the number of network connections? I'll have them increase the connection limit to about 210 or so. Thanks. Grant.

4249.4	Most common in a cluster	VMSNET::P_NUNEZ		`Mon Apr 07 1997 15:00`	12
	If it's a cluster, making connections using both the alias name and the specific node name will result in two sessions. For example, say the alias name is CLUSTER and the cluster nodenames are NODE1 and NODE2. If I connect to \\CLUSTER\SHARE and get connected to NODE1 and then turn around and connect to \\NODE1\ANYSHARE, I end up with 2 sessions. There are other "clients" that can use a session as well - any $ NET command or ADMIN/PATH session with use a session, for example. Account replication I believes uses a "session", etc, etc... Paul

	It is a cluster and they are using the Alias and sometimes specific nodenames. Thanks. Grant.
