Hello,

I'm running v8.3 on alpha. previous to v7.3 I used to do a

$analyze/error/since

which now lead to erf.exe not found and the new command seems to be

$analyse/err/evl dump/since=today

which creates a .dmp file.

ok, so far, but how can it be inspected with a human's eye?

I wanted to see what happened: after booting up without doing anything else, I wanted to change something with

$@tcpip$config

where my first action was to shutdown tcp/ip with option 5.
After a few lines of normal log without indication any error, I got a

BUGCHECK code 7CC
NetDLLerr decnet datalink layer detected a fatal error.

sysdump.dmp was written and then the system rebooted automatically without problems (w/o error messages) and everything incl. tcp/ip starts up ok.
I found nothing pointing to the error in the various log files.

any ideas what might be wrong? ever since, the shutdown seem to end prematurely with black screen (without going to the prompt in console mode as it did in previous shutdown) after a screen full of normal operator log messages on this decstation3000 maybe without a newer sysdump being written - black screen - the system didn't display anything. still, I couldn't fine anything suspicious in the log files after reboot. (where is the shutdownlog by the way?)

any help is appreciated.

The closest to what you're looking for is

$ analyze/error/elv translate /since=today




though it will report many non-translatable entries.

What you really need on 8.3 is WEBES which contains the System Event Analyzer (SEA).

I wanted to see what happened: after booting up without doing anything else, I wanted to change something with

$@tcpip$config

where my first action was to shutdown tcp/ip with option 5.
After a few lines of normal log without indication any error, I got a

BUGCHECK code 7CC
NetDLLerr decnet datalink layer detected a fatal error.


Sorry, no idea. Except that it's still a good idea to keep up-to-date with ECOs for TCP/IP Services.

HTH,
Martin

thank you Stephen and Martin!

> keep up-to-date with ECOs for TCP/IP Services.

my memory tells me ECO = engineering change order?
are these available online?

p.s.: yesterday's shutdown worked w/o error and I got the usual >>> prompt. I'll nevertheless try to find out what went wrong when it did a bugcheck.

just did

$ analyze/error/elv translate /since=9-jun

and cut out the rest before and after this bugcheck since the other bugchecks are all of type "operator" whereas the one below is the only one of type "NETDLLERR". The analyse/error result does not seem to reveal more useful details about the crash:

In SYS$ERRORLOG there should be a file caled CLUE$*.lis
(the filename contains the date and time of the crash). This contains a summary of the crash. You could attach it to a post here.

Thank you, I'll get and install the ECOs.

In SYS$ERRORLOG there is only one file called ERRLOG.SYS

(I tried $anal/crash but I have no SDA on my system; if crash dump analysis is an installation option, I didn't choose to install it, because I never used it since I got my first vms system back in 1987; I'll see if it could be added.)

After reconfiguring for SDA support, the reboot generated the clue files. The CLUE file is a bit long; if you think the listing is of no help, I'll edit this post to delete [parts of] it.

Your Ethernet LAN device driver puked.


thank you!

1. maybe there's a hardware problem with one of the ethernet ports?

I do not have any documentation for the 3000/600; it has 2 ethernet connectors, one AUI where I have a transceiver with twisted pair connector and one RJ45. I believe the bugcheck happened while the CAT5 cable was plugged directly in the RJ45; in any case it happened when I wanted to shutdown the tcp/ip in tcpip$config.com in order to change the IP address of the alpha, because a ping from alpha to the PC resulted in time-out. after the crash I rebooted and changed the IP but ping still didn't get through. this is when I put the CAT5 cable into the plugin-transceiver on the AUI and that was the solution: ping worked and no bugcheck appeared ever since.

who knows, maybe there a functional difference between the two ethernet ports AUI+transceiver and RJ45?

p.s.: I also have a decstation3000/300 and it has only the RJ45 connector which works great with the MR122T repeater.

2. 2D instead of 3D is already more than I ever wanted. (on VAX I'd be happy with VWS* instead of DW-MOTIF, ... but on vax/vms v6.1, VWS which I installed from a v5.4 kit doesn't run; the error I get is "VADRIVER mismatch; reassemble and relink driver" but I don't believe I have the source; is there a VADRIVER for v6.1? or does vax/vms v8.3 still support VWS?)

I think VWS support went away many years ago.

I've not seen one of these workstations (Sandpiper+ ?) for while. They have a mighty 175Mhz first generation alpha chip and don't run but amble slowly. Still, if it works I guess its better than nothing.

I already downloaded some update kits (vms and tcp/ip), but the error (bugcheck) didn't reappear; so for the time being I don't see any urgence to install the updates.

>> 2. 2D instead of 3D is already more than I ever wanted. (on VAX I'd be happy with VWS* instead of DW-MOTIF

yes.

> VWS is OpenVMS VAX only, and is further limited on which graphics controllers it supports.

yes, and I wrote "on VAX I'd be happy..." - just to express how much I miss VWS on VAX - to make it clear that I'm more than happy with 2D on alpha.

> VWS never made it over to OpenVMS Alpha.

no problem. dw-motif is fast enough as software development environment even on a slow 100MHz decstation3000/300

> VWS is (was) an add-on kit for OpenVMS VAX.

back in 1987, VWS came with my new microvax and was preinstalled. VWS is a very efficient development interface, - actually the only viable development enviroment on microvax ii and iii, for one simple reason, i.e.: with dw-motif it takes too long to open a DECterm. An ascii-terminal emulation is all I need and VWS still works very well and fast on my mvax3, if I boot vms v5.4; and sadly, I didn't get VWS to work in v6,1 on vax, except if I'd find the VADRIVER source.

One can write interesting applications without any graphics. (For graphics, back in 1987, I used a 3rd party AGDC-11 (quad-slot q-bus) graphics adapter on alpha; I never did any VWS programming. Of course, if I needed graphics today, I'd use X; by the way, does X support 64 bit addressing in the meantime on alpha? in v7.1 it did not yet.)

> Comparatively little software uses the old XUI stuff, and even less uses the VWS stuff. Some bits do use X Windows and CDE and mayhap Motif.

that's all correct of course. but wanting to use VWS as a development enviroment doesn't mean that the development depends on (or knows anything about) VWS.

In addition, in contrast to DW-motif, VWS doesn't need a PAK, which is very convenient, given that I got a vms license w/o expiration with my mvax and almost each time I rebooted my vax in the last few years, the dw-motif license had expired and I'm back at console mode to enter a PAK; console is much worse as VWS as everybody might want confirm. smiley

the vax is just a hobby; I can run anything on alpha which I wrote on vax. But I'll keep the vax, - I don't know why - most probably because I like it, since there are so many souvenirs attached. In contrast, I'll most probably not rebuild a LSI-11/73 Q-bus system although I kept a cpu and memory board. Nevertheless, I'll try SIMH pdp-11 simulator one day, given that the programming system I used didn't suffer from the 16 bit address space limitation, see article "On LSI-11, RT-11, Megabytes of Memory and Modula-2/VRS" http://www.modulaware.com/history/Vrsmot.pdf

p.s.: The other article by Gordon Bell published in 1975 which I found in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11 is well worth reading:

The speed of the Sandpiper is more than I ever needed, but one day I'll try to get less power hungry alpha.

> comparatively poor performance and particularly on Mozilla or web

yes, Mozilla is slow, but I use Mozilla only very occassionally, to view a html file offline.

> or other "modern" applications (and anything else that benefits from the Alpha byte-word instruction subset),

no problem, I'm 100% certain, that all the applications wrote don't use these byte-word instructions [and also don't necessarily suffer from unalignment traps].

> some of the older EV6 boxes (AlphaStation XP1000, etc) can be cheap or even at the give-away price level these days.

yes, but give-away can be expensive in shipping cost.

> The DEC 3000 series is usually a "bird".

maybe it is my age? - because it took me a while to understand what you meant smiley, most probably because with Piper I associated a Flugzeug not a bird, although both fly as long as they don't drop smiley

I used to have one of those. You need to set the media type at the SRM console. Type "show ew" and look for something like "ewa0_mode". You want to "SET EWxx_mode Twisted-Pair". I suppose it's possible there is a hardware switch in between the connectors which you need to push towards the interface you wish to use, but I'll bet I'm thinking of my VAXStation.

Thank you. I just checked config with SRM.

there's

>>> SHOW ETHERNET

and it's set to THICK. (I've noticed THICK previously in show config but didn't know it's either AUI or twisted pair, but not both.)

I checked with SRM's HELP SET; so to use the twisted pair, I'd need

>>> SET ETH TENBT

You made me curious about the switches on the back:

below the AUI is the reset button. but a bit farther, near the status LEDs, there is a switch called "S3". maybe someone knows what's its purpose?
