Folks
I have a customer running Ultrix V4.4 and is using a couple of DECserver90l+'s
to connect to the host. The servers are running V2.0 BL5.5 and 4.7
respectivley.
There LAT sessions to the host are being dropped with the message
Host stopped responding.
They attempt to re-connect and they get the following error message
Insufficient Host resources to satisfy request.
They manage to get around the problem my booting the servers, but this is not
really an acceptable solution. Are we looking at a problem on the host or the
server?
The customer hasl looked in /dev and he has a number of ttys associatted
LAT, but still getting the error.
Cross posted in LAT and terminal_servers.
Regards

| 5475.1 | consecutive minor device numbers? | GIDDAY::STRAUSS | talking through my binoculars | Sun May 18 1997 19:39 | 20 |

Check that the major/minor device numbers in /dev are consecutive.
I've seen situations where there are plenty of /dev/tty* entries, but
if there are gaps in the sequence of minor numbers, the system only
uses the ttys up to the gap.
Here's a faked example ...
# file /dev/tty*| grep LAT
/dev/tty06: character special (39/4) LAT #0 terminal #4
/dev/tty07: character special (39/5) LAT #0 terminal #5
/dev/tty08: character special (39/7) LAT #0 terminal #6
Note that the sequence of minor numbers is broken - they run 4, 5, 7.
6 is missing. In this case, the last usable tty is tty07.
Hope this helps

I have check this, and the customer has all consectutive TTY's from
0-32. I am wondering if the problem is not just to do with the
ds90l+'s. He has a ds300 that is not seeing the same problem. It is
only the ds90l+'s that are experiencing the problem. Might be a good
time to log an IPMT.
Do you have any other suggestions, or should I raise this.
