It sounds to me like TEST would have still joined the GRS ring if you had let it (GRS is not dependent on SMS), at which time you could have quiesced and purged TEST from the ring, thereby avoiding a ring disruption.
>>> Daniel McLaughlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5/20/2008 7:08 AM >>> snipped I think you sort of hung yourself here, GRS was bringing TEST into the = ring just fine when you shot test. If you had waited, TEST would most = likely have joined the ring without error. The JES2 messages are just a = symptom of the join process, which can be VERY slow in non-XCF RING mode, = if there are a lot of resources enqueued. =20 I am in the process of converting from an old RING into an XCF RING, and = the join process takes 5 minutes the old way, but only about 8 seconds = w/XCF. =20 Well, I agree and understand...however TEST was bollixed up due to an ACDS problem which kept SMS from coming up, etc. Thank you for your explanation.
