tu StoreAndForward with 4.0D?

[Paul Doland_1]

I've seen some postings about configuring Tru64 5.1 to use StoreAndForward mode for the tu network adapters. But, 4.0D seems to be different, I don't find a tu_sf_mode variable to modify. Is there a way to do this under 4.0D?

To enable store-forward mode when the tu driver starts,
patch the variable "tu_sf_mode" using dbx.

EX:
====

# dbx -k /vmunix

(dbx) print tu_sf_mode
0

(dbx) patch tu_sf_mode=1
1

(dbx) print tu_sf_mode
1

(dbx) quit

You may want/need to restart the network (#/usr/sbin/rcinet restart)

Thanks for responding. But, as I said in my original post, that works for 5.1, but doesn't seem to work for 4.0D.

# dbx -k /vmunix
dbx version 3.11.10

(dbx) print tu_sf_mode

"tu_sf_mode" is not defined or not active

Hi,

I think this does not exist before 4.0F.
Any reason for not updating?

greetings,

Michael

Yes, there is a reason to not update. The customer that I am working with is using an old version of my company's product, and this particular version of our product doesn't work in versions greater than 4.0E. I don't know why, but it doesn't.

We have newer versions of our product that support current releases of the OS, but this customer is looking at moving to our Windows product, so, they won't be upgrading their UNIX product. So, I guess we'll just have to live with the issue.
