885.0. "X tool kit warning starting Hubwatch." by KERNEL::WARDJO () Wed Apr 06 1994 09:19

    Hello,
    
    I have a customer who is having problems starting Hubwatch. It all
    started after he ran autogen on the management station. Since running
    this he gets the message:-
     "x tool kit warning i18 no open file couldn't open file 
    Decw$system_defaults:hub_gui_fp_phys_wanbrouter90tl.uid-mrm failure failed
    to fetch uid files for hub type 03" when he tries to start hubwatch.
    
    Since then he has checked all the sysgen parameters, reinstalled motif
    & Hubwatch but still gets this message.
    The wanbrouter90t1.uid file is there with correct protections and he is
    running Hubwatch from the system account with full privs.
    
    Can anyone help?
    
    NMS = Vaxstation 4000 VLC 
    VMS= V5.5
    Hubwatch = V2
    
    Thanks in advance,

885.1FILLM?SLINK::HOODI'd rather be surfingWed Apr 06 1994 10:5313
Double-check the FILLM (file limit) parameter on the process in AUTHORIZE.
Make it at least 100.  If that still doesn't fix it, increase it to about 120.


The FILLM is the number of open files for the process and for all its
subprocesses.  If your customer has any subprocesses from the process that's
running HUBwatch, they'll hit this limit.

I'd guarantee there's nothing special about the particular file X is 
complaining about.  It's just unable to open *any* more files.

885.2Had to reinstall VMSKERNEL::WARDJOFri Apr 08 1994 04:4315
    Tom,
    
    Thanks for the reply.
    
    I got the customer to increase the FILLM to 150 - this made no
    difference. 
    The customer reinstalled VMS and its now working!
    
    The customer can still boot off the problem disk, so if you can suggest
    anything else to check & think it is worth trying to get to the bottom
    of this, it can be done. However, the customer is happy with his working 
    system.

885.3Problem returns to haunt me!KERNEL::WARDJOMon May 23 1994 10:3831
    Hello,
    
    Well, I now have another customer with the same problem after he
    rebooted. The system is a VAX3800 with 32mb of memory and running VMS 5.4-2
    
    Hubwatch is V2.0.1.
    
    $ watch/agent agent1
    
    HUBwatch for OpenVMS VAX, Revision V2.0.1
    (I) HUBWATCH$LIBRARY = SYS$LOGIN
    (W) Using community public
    X Toolkit Warning: I18NOpenFile: Couldn't open file
    decw$system_defaults:hub_gui
    _brut_sum.uid - MrmFAILURE
    Failed to fetch UID files for hub type 3
       
    Have checked FILLM & its set to 255 - other system parameters also
    checked with those in installation guide.
    
    Customer gets the problem regardless of the agent he useses (agent 90
    V1.1 or Agent 900).
    
    Can anyone suggest anything else to check on the system.
    
    Any help appreciated,
    
    Regards,

885.4CHANNELCNT too low!KERNEL::WARDJOFri May 27 1994 12:5211
    If anyone is intersted:-
    
    Having been assured that the customer had checked the required sysgen
    parameters specified in the installation guide it turned out to be that the
    CHANNELCNT had been set down to 212 instead of the 512 required.
    
    As usual it was claimed that nothing had been changed.
