VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
Since installing the patch I have found that availability manager appears to lose contact with remote collector nodes after about 2.5 hours of running. It continues to provide data about the local node to the analyser, but the other collector nodes on the LAN appear as "Path lost" in the analyzer.
If I issue
@sys$startup:amd$startup restart
(without restarting the AM server process), then the missing nodes reappear quite happily.
I could find no events in the availability manager logs indicating any problem.
The only other information I have gleaned is that the LAN device starts clocking up "Unavailable user buffer" errors until I do the restart
DEVT02> mc lancp show dev/cou
DEVT02 Device Counters EWA0 (20-NOV-2009 15:07:37.14):
Value Counter
----- -------
11028 Seconds since last zeroed
309 Unavailable user buffers (20-NOV-2009 15:07:26.24)
The LAN device is a DE500-BA, on a DS20e.
When I back out the patch installation, then availability manager runs without any issues.
Has anybody else noticed any "funnies" with this patch?
Many thanks,
Duncan

Re: VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
while you're running the Availability Manager protocol, you can check the protocol specific counters with ANAL/SYS and SDA> SHOW LAN/FULL/DEV=EWA0
Look for the counters for protocol (AMDS) and check the 'Unavailable User buffer' and 'Last UUB time'. This should allow you to at least find out, if the Unavailable user buffers events happen for this specific protocol.

Re: VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
At the moment all the protocols are showing "None" for Last UUB Time.
The generic device EWA has a last UUB time coresponding to the time I last restarted AMDS.
I will have to wait until the next Path Lost event to check out the specific EWA22 80-48 (AMDS) Counters.

I have attached the SDA output for the specific EWA22 device.
If you think that there is any value in the whole SHOW LAN/FULL output, then I can add that in.

Re: VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
Last receive 20-NOV 17:35:44, this is a long time ago (about 8 minutes)! And PDUs received exactly 5000 ?!
Did you check all other protocols for non-zero 'Unavail user buffer' ? Or is AMDS the only protocol affected ?

only EWA22 (AMDS) shows any UUB count.

Re: VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
please consider to report this problem to HP.
Every node running the AMDS protocol should send AMDS multicast messages every couple of seconds, so NOT receiving any AMDS messages for more than 8 minutes is very unusual.
You may also try to look at the default LAN trace data in SDA:
$ SET TERM/WID=132
$ ANAL/SYS
SDA> LAN TRACE
...
SDA> EXIT

Re: VMS732_LAN-V0700 and AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.0-2
I will look at LAN trace when I am back at work.
In the meantime, I took another snapshot of the counters - and guess what? The device stopped receiving after 5000 PDUs again (see attachment).
This is surely not coincidence!
I have just restarted AMDS and will check the counters again tomorrow.
Many thanks for your advice.

I will try to get this raised to HP (we have a 3rd party support contract, so no direct HP route).

5.2 Problems addressed in this kit
5.2.6 Excessive Pool Consumption
5.2.6.1 Problem Description:
[snip] This change enforces a maximum limit of 5000 buffers outstanding for any application running on a LAN device, [snip]
[snip] If pool reclamation is in use, and if the limit of 5000 outstanding buffers is unreasonable, you can override this restriction by setting the system parameter LAN_FLAGS bit 16 (0x00010000). [snip]
