9405.0. "No buffer space available!!!!" by MDR01::CARRANZ (MCS Madrid) Mon Apr 07 1997 07:24

Hello,

	

	We have a DECsafe environment v1.3 with 2 network interfaces:

		FDDI
		Ethernet interface.

	Primary network for ASE is the FDDI, Ethernet has been configured
as backup.

		2 * 4100 with DU 3.2F.

	Our problem was that the other day, nobody could access 
to ASE service defined on one system.

	The daemon.log in that moment gave next messages:

	At that moment, you could do a ping at FDDI computer address, but you
couldn't access to any FDDI service.

            When you try to do a ping to an ASE FDDI service it said:
    
            "No buffer space available".
    
            Ethernet works OK.
            Ethernet works OK.
    
            We didn't see any messages saying that "fta0: Link
    unavailable".
                   

	We did:

	# ifconfig fta0 down
	# ifconfig fta0 up

            Doing that, the problem was solved, but this is a temporary
        solution, and i would know which is the real problem customer has.
             

	In order to solve the problem i don't know if this could be a system
parameter or perhaps a configuration problem from dec safe. If anybody knows
which parameter, please let me know.

	I'm going to analyze with "netstat -m" and "vmstat -M" the status
when there is no problem.

	I'm going to suggest customer to do a procedure that do a ping
to other computer thru Ethernet/FDDI and each other thru both interfaces and
to ASE services address, in order to isolate the problem.

	Any other suggestion would be appreciatte.

	
	Thanks in advance,
