3181.0. "File Cab Server out of action again" by PAKORA::GMURRAY (Have Mercy I Cry City !) Mon Aug 23 1993 17:26

    
    Help !
    
    File Cab Server problems...
    
    We have a 5 node cluster, with 3 nodes running ALL-IN-1. Once again the
    File Cab Server has bombed out on one node only. SM MFC MS STA has no 
    effect, nor does a full restart of ALL-IN-1.
    
    We are getting a lot of calls from users - when they go to Edit
    documents they just hang.
    
    The log files in sys$manager don't show anything of use.
    
    Last time this happened it somehow "fixed itself". 
    
    What's happening ?
    
    Cheers,

3181.1Try running the FCS interactivelyTINNIE::SETHIChin wagging at DECUS on MAILworksSun Aug 29 1993 06:5321
    Hi Gil,
    
    Have you tried to run the FCS interactively ?  To do this simply do the
    following : $RUN SYS$SYSTEM:OAFC$SERVER, this may provide us with more
    information.
    
    >We are getting a lot of calls from users - when they go to Edit
    >documents they just hang.
    
    There are a number of topics that discuss this issue in here have you
    seen them ?  Have you tuned the FCS on the node ?  Is the FCS process
    looping ?
    
    >Last time this happened it somehow "fixed itself".
    
    Come on what was changed on the system ;-) ? Did someone do an autogen
    with feedback ?  By the way I have come across this in the past !!

3181.2How many links are availableGIDDAY::SETHIAhhhh (-: an upside down smile from OZMon Aug 30 1993 05:4816
    Hi,  
    
    It's me again after a good nights sleep.  I would like you to check how
    many links are being used and available.  Please do the following:
    
    1. $ mcr ncp show exec char     Look for the Maximum links parameter.
    2. $ mcr ncp show exec count    look for the Maximum logical links
    				    active
    
    Can you let us have this figure.  I am just wondering if you are
    running out of the number of links available.  From what I have
    gathered the server may require 2 links per document access.
    
    Regards,
    
    Sunil

I don't know if Gil monitors this conference but I believe that this problem
has been resolved. The FCS for the particular node with problems was being run
on a different node.
