Here is a strange one:
I am asking the question here because our configuration is an unsupported
configuration consisting of an Ultrix VAX 6000-410 and a number of VAX 8XXX
running VMS sharing the same CI.
Recently we upgraded our Ultrix system to a 6000 series system from a 11/785
The 11/785 ran Ultrix V3 in our mixed CI environment just fine for over
a year. The 6000 system runs fine with the following exception.
What I get is a lot of error log entries in the Ultrix errorlog
reporting an established and broken down connection. The connection
data is alwaus the text "A TMK Special". I have enclosed an extract of
our errorlog at the end of this text.
The ultrix system shares the CI only to have shared access to the
HSC based tape drives. The Ultrix disks are running off a KDB50
(although when we ran the 785, we ran the ultrix disks off the HSC.
The only cavaet that we have found here is to be extra careful to
keep ultrix and VMS away from each others disks. I have discussed this
extensively in the past.)
My question is: Is there any way to stop this message from
continously filling my ultrix error log? What is a "TMK Special"?
I am including in this message output from the VMS "Show cluster" command.
output from "uerf" and a copy of my Ultrix Config file. The only
way I can prevent the errorlogger "elsd" from filling my /var partion
is to softlink the file /var/adm/syserr/syserr.ultb to /dev/null.
esld does not use too much CPU doing this logging so it has worked, but
is not the way I want to have to run this system.
Any suggestions anyone has would be most appreciated.
