723.0. "System Event error from CFS, and Oracle Listener service stopped." by CSC32::G_OGLESBY (Ginny Oglesby 592-4731 CSC/CS) Mon Mar 31 1997 19:48

Customer is running WNT 3.51 on two 4100 servers.  Oracle Workgroup Server 7.2.
Digital Cluster 1.0sp2.

Earlier today noticed the following in the System Event Log on one of the servers:

Event Code 40003, Source: CFS
"The Cluster File System does not support this type of IRP function."

Users were no longer able to connect to this server, using the server name,
with Oracle.
Turns out the Oracle Listener Service had gone into a stopped state,
possibly the effect of the above error?

No new users were able to connect to this service due to the listener service
being stopped.  Users already connected were OK.  He was simply able to 
re-start the service.

What does this error mean?  What is an IRP function?  What type of scenario
might have caused this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

	Ginny, Do you have a copy of the Listener.ora file?

	In order to diagnose this problem further, we need the detailed information from the NT event log entry that says "...does not support this type of IRP function". If you could have the customer send you the entire contents of this error packet, including all the data shown in Event Viewer, it will tell us which IRP function is causing the complaint.

	I'm working this problem offline, but I'll post the event log information in case others following this might find it useful.

723.4	CREATE_NAMED_PIPE confuses CFS driver	DECWET::CAPPELLOF	My other brain is a polymer	`Tue Apr 08 1997 20:55`	7
	Hmmm, the first longword in the error packet is 0x00000001, which is the major function code for IRP_MJ_CREATE_NAMED_PIPE, which, as the error code indicates, a function that's not supported by the CFS driver (NT Cluster name client driver). I wonder what Oracle is doing that causes the CFS driver to see this function code? Normally, it shouldn't get this far.
