RE: 51D's external hard disks

2001-09-25 Thread Warren Brown

Hello

Aaah just as I suspected.  You have remnants of disk mirroring
left over when you installed on the external disk drive.  I am
going to guess that the Mirroring database for the external 4 GB
drive 'knows' that it is the first disk controller  (i.e. c0t0d0)
when in fact it is on the second controller (c1t0d0) and the internal
IDE drive is on the first controller.

There are two options here - both of which are not supported by
Foxboro / Invensys.  If you want to go down that path then we
best take this discussion off the list.

I don't recall if you said why you are trying to do this ?  The
51D family was supposed to use the internal drive.  The marketing
thinking was that if you wanted features associated with external
SCSI drives then you would select the 51E family.

Hi Warren,

Thanks for your response.  The release Day Zeroed onto the external hard
drive is V6.2 - attempted both with and without the Pre-Install Diskette to
the same end.

The panic message (after boot kabd command) is as follows:

Cannot mount root on /pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk fstype ufs
panic[cpu0]/thread=0x10402040: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root
stopped at E_Syslimit+0x84:ta  %icc,%go + 125

Feel free to decipher this at will.

Cheers,

Nic

Re: File system error massege

2001-09-04 Thread Warren Brown

Hello

I guess the obvious answer is that the disk drive is full in one of
the partitions.  Type df -kF ufs and see which is at 100%.  My guess
would be the /var partition.  If so, go to the /var/tmp directory
and see what is growing absurdly.  Thats a start.

I am surprised that Foxboro support did not tell you to do

this is a front end command to the metareplace command that is

What kind of results do you get when you
type
   metastat d0
this will print out a more detailed set of diagnostics
that may give a clue as to what is going wrong.

Sounds like a d/b needs to be cleared and mirroring
re-initiated to me.

 Hello
 
 At our site we have an AW51B with 4x 2.1GB disks (2 concatenated main, 2
 concatenated mirror). In addition we have one set of 2x 2.1GB disks 
spare;
 these are exchanged for safekeeping as a backup.
 
 Some time ago one of the disks (on ESP1) gave us problems while doing the
 mirroring process. (Error messages listed below)
 
 
 d5:  d15:  6478240ESP0 / SCSI3   Okay
d25:  6478240ESP1 / SCSI3   Nds_Maint
 
 I have tried to replace the disk several times(the disk has been given 
SCSI
 address 2 and 3 on ESP1). I have tried HH835, but I'm still having the 
same
 problem.
 
 The exchange disk is a 18.2GB 1rpm Disk UniPack purchased from a 
local
 vendor. The disk has been labeled and made to look like 2.1GB as 
prescribed
 by Foxboro.
 
 Foxboro recommends us at this time to exchange the 3 sets of concatenated
 disks with one single disk with a larger size.
 
 Has anyone solved a similar problem? Thanks for any response.

RE: How do I turn off swap

2000-10-10 Thread Warren Brown

Hello

While Alex is right that having more memory is
almost always a good thing, I am confused by
the results stated.

Unused processes always get paged out of main
memory (a good thing).  Disk thrashing after
this point points to applications that are
memory intensive.  Vanilla I/A ships with
plenty of memory resources to its job
under normal circumstances.  When adding third
party applications, you will need to do some
basic system administration to verify the
system.  Alex pointed you at vmstat to monitor
disk i/o.  Another command that I use a lot
is swap -s which gives the total virtual memory usage.
Doing this before and after an application startup
gives a relative feel for the cost of that application.

Can you run this command and tell us what your
situation is ?

If you take away swap space and you are have quieted
down the disk drive then I suggest that you may
have an application (or several) that are no longer
running that you may not know about.  Offline, Alex
suggests that you run a ps command before and
after the removal of swap space to verify no
lost processes.

Another reason for excess disk traffic are applications
that write to /tmp (logfiles etc.).  You may
wish to do a ls -lart /tmp to see what the newest
files are in this directory and maybe by the name
determine the application that is using this.



Three words:

Buy more RAM.


If vmstat reports lots of page faults, you need more RAM.


snip


   I have processes running on a AW51E (Ultra 30) that drop into
   virtual memory several days after boot.  They then consume the
   machine with lots of disk thrashing.  I've experimented with
   vfstab and /sbin/swapadd, and eliminated swap.  This stops the
   disk thrashing, but it left me with a /tmp directory that is
   small and completely memory-based.  I'm wondering if I should
   further modify /etc/vfstab, and mount /tmp to /dev/md/dsk/d1?
   If anyone has more expert knowledge on how to go about this,
   I'd appreciate the help.

Re: AW51 crash dump files

2000-09-11 Thread Warren Brown

Hello

If we assume that you have a Foxboro
support contract, then they may wish to
retrieve these files before you delete
them.

There is a shell script command called
iscda that can be run on these to
generate a report that may be useful.
Use as follows:
 iscda unix.0 vmcore.0  log.0

Now you can examine log.0 for all sorts of
interesting data.  (if you are an O.S. person :-) ).

I would not expect to get these files at all
so the fact that you did get them may
be of interest to your Foxboro support people.

Warren





When the AW51 spontaneously crashes, 2 files are created in the directory
/opt/crash/AWNAME  - unix.n and vmcore.n where n is a number from 0 on up
.

1. Will these files tell me what caused the AW to crash?   How do I view that
information?

2. After backing these files to tape, may I delete them?  The System
Administration Guide points me to the files, but does not
 specifically direct me to remove them.

3. How often, if at all, can these crashes be expected?

Re: 2nd ethernet ports and Routing....

2000-06-05 Thread Warren Brown


Hello
Using the standard Solaris file /etc/netmasks
would have solved this problem also.

WB

The solution was very simple.
Only on COGEN I did the following:
Add to /etc/hosts
152.153.16.50   ROUTER

Add to /etc/defaultrouter
ROUTER

But this didn't work.
FOXBORO networks are configured as class B network.
So I added a script to /etc/fox/userapps.dat called 'routing.scr' which 
looked like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# We have to force the netmask like this because at boot time
# FOXBORO is resetting it to class B subnet
# This is ok for the NODE BUS but not for the second ethernet card.
#
# There are two 152.153.x.x networks separated by 10.202.x.x
# who need to be able to talk to each other
# 152.153.16.x on the foxboro side of the router and
# 152.153.the.rest on the other side of 10.202.x.x
#
# This script is called from /etc/fox/user_apps.dat

ifconfig le1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Re: Utilities on AW/WP to monitor nodebus traffic? (was script execution)

2000-03-27 Thread Warren Brown

I assume you are using the 50 series of I/A
workstations.  I use snoop -d /dev/hme0 -o /dev/null multicast
to watch how many multicasts (specialized broadcasts)
are going on.  The command gives you a running count
of how many are seen.  Type Control C to get out of
this snoop command.  Type man snoop to get other options
for snoop.

In the  script execution thread, there was the concern that OMGET will 
generate broadcast messages and adding additional load on the nodebus. What 
tool do you use to monitor and analyse the nodebus traffic such as 
broadcast messages, packets rate? In Foxwatch I, they run a utility in the 
foxwatch module (com10?) to gather information. Is there any utilities on 
the AW/WP? I don't like to attch a wyse terminal to the foxwatch module 
each time I want to monitor the traffic. Is snoop the anwser?

Thanks.

Re: AW51E Lockup (HELP!!!!!!)

2000-03-27 Thread Warren Brown

Please Please Please
Tell me that you have a good backup of your system drive.

The system is telling you that you have a problem with
SCSI commands getting to your system drive.  This could be
caused by
   a.  Bad drive
   b.  Bad cables to the system drive.
