9732.0. "RING RECOVERY PROBLEM ON TOKEN RING" by GIDDAY::STANISLAUS () Tue May 06 1997 21:41

My customer is running 3.2g DIGITAL_UNIX and about 50 or 60 times a day gets
Token Ring recovery messages and about 3 or 4 times a day Transmit timeout -
Ring Recovery messages on his PBXNP-AA Token Ring Adapter in his Alphaserver
1000A.

Customer believes that none of his 80 other nodes are logging any claim or
beacon.

I saw note  8716 and 5918 in this conference with similar problems, but
different to this customer's version of Digital_Unix. Is there any known problem 
with the PCI token ring adapter or 3.2g Digital_Unix' Token Ring Driver.

Will try and get a Token Ring Sniffer from Network General and see what is
causing it.

9732.1are these Thomas Condrad cards?NNTPD::"[email protected]"markThu May 08 1997 01:3511
are these Thomas Condrad cards? I think they are, in which case they are
the same as 4 cards that I have in at a bank here in Sydney. Sofar
they have been well behaved on the rings and certinally not loging
undue errors mind you though these ring that they are on are pretty
quiet.
	Mark :)

ps.
My OS is currently 3.2G + patches selected from patches.osf-v3.2g-28mar1997
these cards have been in the network now for 3 weeks.

    Contact Bob Spear ([email protected]) to see if the TI errata has been
    backported to V3.2G (I think it has).  It sounds exactly like what
    you're experiencing.
