Session is stuck

nipun_2 — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 09:03:57 GMT

Hi,
I have OpenVMS 7.3-2 with a 3 node cluster and 1 server. Currently the session open on the server's terminal screen is stuck. We have a common system disk on the server but all the other machines are running fine.

I am thinking of logging into the server thourgh one of the nodes by

$ set host server

and then restarting the dec windows

$@sys$manager:decw$startup restart

would this work if not how should I go about it.
Please let me know the detail commands if I have to check process, user etc so that I can accordingly execute it.

Log on to the server via one of the other nodes. Check on the state of the processes by SHOW SYSTEM (check for unusual states).

SHOW USER/FULL/NODE

will show you the PID for the user processes on that node. Report back here with the process state (LEF, HIB, RWxxx etc) and more suggestions for investigating the process will be supplied.

Nipun,

and include the status of the DECW* processes:

$ SHOW SYS/PROC=*DECW*

Also consider to have a look into SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG for any errors.

Hi,
I checked the terminal and it started to respond. So it was a momentary problem.

I guess the only process now is to wait if the problem re-occurs and send you the information based on the commands you suggested.
