For those running 5.0 PUSH (C.50.00), we just experienced a VT ghost session problem that required a re-boot. Here's the scenario: I tried to start another VT session to our 957 this morning. Got "connection refused" message. After a little looking around, discovered that even though we had only one LOCAL and 8 REMOTE NS users, NSCONTROL said we had a total of *131* ACTIVE VTSERVERS..... Huh ?!?!?........ (our MAX VTSERVER is set at 300.) The SESSION numbers associated with the supposedly ACTIVE VTSERVERS went all the way back to like five weeks ago, about the last time we rebooted the system to put in a patch. Apparently when you get enough ghost sessions hanging around, some resouce gets maxed out and no more new VT sessions are allowed. Did the usual PICS thing. Found out there is a known problem in this area (at least we think we are having the known problem). There is a patch; don't have the number yet. NSCONTROL KILLSESS could not kill the ghost VT sessions; so ended up having to do a START NORECOVERY in the middle of the day....... :-( So if you run a lot of VT sessions on C.50.00 and haven't checked for ghosts lately with NSCONTROL STATUS, you might want to take a look.......... Just another day at the office, Ken Sletten
