Re: CSMACD frame error. who can find the root cause from this output ?

As others have said, this looks like an awfully clean connection and 5 frame errors in 12 days is nothing to worry about. If it was truly a hardware or cabling problem, you would most likely see Carrier Check Failures in addition to the frame errors, and you would be seeing many more.

Davor,


NCL-E-ACCESSDENIED, access denied


you need to issue these NCL commands from a privileged account.

oh... thanks Volker, i missed this entry...
now i can see that "CSMACD-1" means "EIA"
BUT, can i know which PCI slot it is located at ?

Davor,

$ ANAL/SYS ! needs CMKRNL priv & SET TERM/WID=132
SDA> CLUE CONFIG

will show the system configuration, it includes PCI slot information.

Re: CSMACD frame error. who can find the root cause from this output ?

Hi Volker,
btw, i tried this:
SDA> clue fru
FRU Table written to CLUE$FRU.SYS file, use COMPAQ Analyze or DECevent to analyze.
SDA>

i got the SYS file, but i cannot get the correct output with ANALYZE command.
do you have any idea?

Davor,

COMPAQ Analyze and DECevent (and WSEA, part of WEBES) are layered products that must be installed separately.

Davor,

you can download DECevent and/or WEBES (contains SEA = previously Compaq Analyze) from the Analysis Service Tools page:

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/

These tools need to be installed, but do not require a license for errlog translation.

With DECevent, you can then use:

$ DIAGNOSE CLUE$FRU.SYS

With WEBES, it's more convenient to use the WEB interface http://your-vms-server:7902

yes. i used DIAG for the analysis :)
thanks

but it seems that the CLUE$FRU.sys output is not similar with >>>sho fru, hehe.

Re: CSMACD frame error. who can find the root cause from this output ?

Davor,

there may be another level of mapping done by the console level between the actual HW config and what OpenVMS is seeing.

You can also look at what the console reports during init (as extracted from DIAGNOSE CLUE$FRU.SYS).

With the output of CLUE CONFIG, >>> SHOW CONFIG and the view of the back of your system, you should be able to figure it out...
