STREAMS/UX ERRORS

[yassine elhammar]

Hello
I've an HP9000/L1000 with HPUX 11.00 100 BaseT Lan. That communicate via routers with other lan equipment and TCP communications are reset every 30 to 40 min
I notice strams/ux error messages in /var/adm/nettl.LOG00 looking like:
5321 704 tcp_rput_other: case T_ERROR_ACK, ERROR_pri
5321 183 tcp_wput, T_ORDERL_REQ out of state [c500,147b] TCP_SYN_SENT
Thanks for help

How current are you with your Patches. This may be a simple as getting the latest Networking patches.

I would recommend using the Custom Patch Manager. It will analyze your current configuration and indicate which patches you need to get to become current.

Hope that helps.

Yassine, it could be because a Cisco router is sending the HP many pings, and packets are dropped. What is happening here is that
a T_ORDEL_REQ was issued to an endpoint that was in the TCP_SYN_SENT state. This is not a valid state to receive this, hence the log messages.

My suggestion is to ensure you are patched with the latest ARPA, LAN and STREAMS patches.
