Terry, Thanks very much. I'll give it a go. Dave -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Doucet, Terrence Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 2:49 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] CP Islanding Dave, AW reboot --- When the AW is freshly rebooted, go to VT100 and run the =3D20 /opt/fox/bin/tools/omget <CPLBUG>_STA:STATION.TOTMEM =3D20 /opt/fox/bin/tools/omget <CPLBUG>_STA:STATION.MAXMEM The TOTMEM limit is > 350000 bytes The MAXMEM limit is > 10000 bytes (I think) - Sorry I cannot exactly remember the limits but someone else on the freelist may have these numbers. /opt/fox/bin/tools/rsom on the CP40 (See HH384) Use the opdb command and count the number of lists. This is a pain because you have to count the multiples of 20 points per line and keep the results in your head. Record the number or dump the opdb results to a file. Repeat these commands after a bit of time and see if the memory is decreasing and the list use is increasing. The list limit is 600 for the CP40. If you are sourcing Exceed sessions from this AW, maybe they are not exiting properly and you end up with lots of dangling lists. (Existing, but no longer used by a sink session) Or some other process or program could be doing the same thing. Repeat again as time goes on to see if the number becomes constant or keeps increasing. When you get your first call about islanding, bad, out of service connections, run the commands again and see if you are at any limit. Terry *********************************************************** Q: Did this site work great for a while and just start giving you a problem or has it always been a problem? A: This has been a problem for quite a while. Oddly enough a reboot of the AW seems to make it go away, and stay a way for a few weeks to months. Moreover, we keep replacing copper with fiber in the CBLAN, and the network reliability seems improved.=3D20 =20 =20 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
