I think this is my first posting on this list. I hope you can help me with this. Every morning around 5:00 am we run a job that reports the status of our network. This is part of the job; !COMMENT NETWORK CONFIGURATION INFORMATION !COMMENT USING NETCONTROL & NSCONTROL ! !NETCONTROL STATUS ! !NETCONTROL STATUS;NET=LAN1 ! !NETCONTROL STATUS;NI=LAN1 ! !NETCONTROL VERSION ! !NETCONTROL VERSION=MOD ! !LISTF CI.PUB.SYS,8 ! !LISTF DOIONOW.PUB.SYS,-3 ! !PRINT ONLNOLOG.PUB.SYS ! !NSCONTROL STATUS=SUMMARY ! !NSCONTROL STATUS=ALL ! !NSCONTROL VERSION ! !NSCONTROL VERSION=MOD ! Most days the report displays TOTAL NUMBER OF SERVERS: 0 (zero) On FEB 15, 2005 5:13AM The report displayed TOTAL NUMBER OF SERVERS: 49 Yet no sessions were active. When staff started logging on to the 3000 some were able to access the system, yet others were never able to get a connection. I myself was unable to get a logon prompt. Thanks to my handy- dandy 700/92 HP terminal (with a serial connection) I was able to logon as MANAGER.SYS. Glance seemed to be in a loop when I issued an "A"(dispay all processes) in the GLOBAL screen. So, I tried the usual stuff; NETCONTROL NET=LOOP;STOP NETCONTROL NET=LAN1;STOP NSCONTROL STOP And then tried to restart the network; NETCONTROL NET=LOOP;START NETCONTROL NET=LAN1;START NSCONTROL START But still had problems. So we decided to reboot. However, after entering the SHUTDOWN command, it only got as far as SHUT 4 and locked up. nothing happened for about 5 minutes. So I powered down the 3000. After about what seemed like eternity we powered back up and the 3000 came up without a problem. Haven't had any probelms since. We did a reboot this morning, no hangups or error messages. Had this happened Monday, I would have attributed it to St. Valentines Day (Massacre). Or the wicked witch (but I thought she died last week). Has any one had this type of situation before? Thanks in advance for any help that you may provide. JBA * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
