1986.0. "LAT Failover Problem" by PRCFS1::SOCHUNWAH () Sun Apr 06 1997 06:12

Hi,

	I read from 762.* about LAT failover in ASE environemnt.  I have a 
client who is now cofigurating the LAT service just the same as described at
762.1 (i.e. Startup a lat service in the ASE startup script, and stop the
service in the stop script).  However, whenever the ASE service failover, we'll
find some of the DECserver ports hang.  I tried to logout the problem ports but
does not help.  I checked the hung port status and is normal.  Until we do a
logout port all, then every DECserver ports back to normal.

	At the very begining, I thought only the 'connecting' ports have this 
problem.  But then I found some of the failure ports, which  are not 'connected'
with any lat service at that particular moment,  have similar problem.

	One thing just triger me is that I remember some of the ports are
configured with dedicated service for that particular lat service, will this 
be the cause of the problem for those ports ?

	I'll confirm about the port's prefer service setting during my next 
visit to customer site.  At the mean time, I would appreciate if someone 
could give me some idea about this DECserver 900 ports hanging problem at ASE 
service failover.
