QNX ArcNet troubleshooting (again)
Claudio Lima
One of these systems, a 6-nodes one, every now and again becomes slower than
acceptable.
After running netinfo on all of then, I got the following error messages:
On node #1:
Date Net (Nid|Status) Code Description
00:18:02 0 ( 49) NET (rvs) vid was zero
00:18:02 0 ( 48) NET (ivs) vid was zero
00:18:07 1 Status 3 ( 23) NET failed proc _vc_attach msg
On node #2:

On node #6:
Date Net (Nid|Status) Code Description
08:38:55 1 Status 3 ( 24) NET failed proc _vc_attached msg
15:55:09 1 (141) ARC (irq) reconfiguration
I'm quite sure there's something wrong on node #3.
/etc/config/netmap on all nodes seem to be O.K.:
1 1 t1
2 1 t2
3 1 t3
4 1 t4
5 1 t5
6 1 t6
/etc/config/sysinit.# Net lines too:
Net -n6 &
Net.arcnet -l1 &
Does anybody have any ideas ?
T.I.A.

That a good assumption:
I don't have much experience with Arcnet, but
I would look at a faulty piece of hardware, possible
cabling.
To be sure, swap the network card in a different machine.
If the problem follow the card, you know it's the card.
If the problem stays in node 3, maybe a flaky powersupply.
If not then try swapping cable.

The file /etc/config/netmap for all Nodes is ok.
But use in the files /etc/config/sysinit.# :
Net &
Net.arcnet -l1 -v &
netmap -f
and on one Node:
nameloc &
I think you have probleme with the irqs of the networkcards, use
Net.arcnet with option -v to see the value.
I hope you use Arcnet as a STAR-topology.
You can use the command "netinfo" to get informations from
the status of the network.

I seem to recall that passive hubs are VERY touchy about the cabling being
exactly perfect.
