Ohh I tried both ....many times....but no luck..... :( it somehow is stucked up in that interface.

do you have a redundant controller?
then you can use "restart this_controller" from the console port.
when "this" controler is restarted restart the other "restart other_controller".

[admin1979]

Yes its a dual controller setup ,

root@pluto> clu_get_info
Cluster information for cluster host123

Number of members configured in this cluster = 2
memberid for this member = 1
Quorum disk = dsk12h
Quorum disk votes = 1

Information on each cluster member

Cluster memberid = 1
Hostname = pluto.com
Cluster interconnect IP name = pluto-ics0
Member state = UP

Cluster memberid = 2
Hostname = mars.com
Cluster interconnect IP name = mars-ics0
Member state = UP


Its a cluster in-use right now. would it not affect the users if we simply restart the controllers?
Is there any better way?

Thanx,

if correctly configured, redundant controllers should take over i/o, so there is little impact on users.

other option may be in last post (Nick) from this thread:

so try
/usr/lbin/hsxterm5 -b 0 -t 1 -l 5 "exit"

strange ? this post is also from admin1979?

[admin1979]

Like I stated before, this prob is there since long time.
But I somehow missed what Nick suggested.
This time I would give it a try to it.
Will update soon, thanx.

I found another post from you regarding the same problem.
And understand it's there for a long time.

If the command-line option does not help you'll have no option but to retart the crontrollers on a t a time.
do "show this_controller" to verify the
-------------
Configured for MULTIBUS_FAILOVER with
In dual-redundant configuration
-----------------
If you by chance can locate the controller that handles the hsxterm session, you may only need to restart this one.
It is the current active controler for "b 0 -t 1 -l 5"
