tkevans@oss670.UUCP (Tim Evans) (04/24/91)
We're running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 with SCO TCP/IP and have been getting
error messages "out of streams resources". These generally come
when a series of rcp's are executed in a short time--i.e., a
backup via the network.
Can anyone suggest a workaround, or a fix that might be available?
Thanks. Please use the address *BELOW* for E-mail replies.

This lets you look at a bunch of system information, run the "strstat" command under crash. This will tell you the number of times each size message block has been allocated and has failed an allocation request. Then edit /etc/conf/cf.d/stune (or run the /etc/conf/cf.d/configure comand) to up the number of steams message blocks for the size(s) that crash said failed.

Unfortunately, there is no "crash" command in SCO *Xenix*. It only exists in SCO Unix. Instead, there is a command in SCO Xenix Streams/TCP called /usr/bin/sw, which just (dynamically) outputs the stream block usage. (I don't recall this being documented anywhere). Once you can see what it is running out of, you can go down the custom menus and rebuild the kernel with tweaked-up values. Keith Mitchell (postmaster) Spider Systems Ltd. Spider Systems Inc.
