2492.0. "Network connection to FCS lost" by AIMTEC::FERRELL_L () Tue Jan 28 1997 22:10

	I recently spoke with a customer with the following problem:

	A user reported a problem accessing documents in a shared
	drawer. The Manage Server menu showed two of four servers
	with a status of stopped. These stopped servers generated a
	"%OAFC-W-NETLOST, Network connection to the FCS is lost",
        message. The customer was unable to start the FCS and later
	discovered that the server process was still running. By the 
	time the customer had returned to the Manage Server menu, the
	status had changed from Stopped to Running/Enabled. This is 77a 
	four node cluster running VMS V6.1, DECnet OSI phase 5, and
	ALL-IN-1 v3.2. 

	I was not able to find anything on the %OAFC-W-NETLOST error
	in STARS.

	I would appreciate any help in determining which layer of 
	DECnet it is that appears to intermitently stop talking to 
	the FCS.

    Hello,
    
    Looks like they ran out of Maximum Transport Connections...
    
    Check note 1822.
    
    By the way, searching for OAFC-W-NETLOST I found 6 STARS loaded note
    entries:
    
     14-{ALL-IN-1-NOTES} Network connection to FCS lost

    Hi Larry,
    
    Jan's comments are indeed the most likely explaination. As the total
    network connections fluctuates under and above the maximum allowed, it
    will result in the behaviour you describe (running servers accepting
    connections, and then the netword rejecting them).
