OpenServer 5.0.5 and Licensed Connection Limits

[Douglas M. MacFarlane]

I have a dozen OpenServer 5.0.5 systems I inherited in my new job.

We're running VisionFS on them.

They are all licensed for 10 or 20 connections.

When I attempt to connect to the VisionFS share, I get an error indicating
that no more connections are permitted to this server at this time.

While I can see in SCOAdmin what my license limits are, I can't see anywhere
to see what connections are in place. Who, netstat, and arp don't give me
20 unique connections amongst them.

So, what command is available to view the list of current connections?

TIA

It isn't as obvious as it could be.

You need to acquaint yourself with the VisionFS administrative tool
(visionfs <surprise>??) on the server. It probably lives in
/usr/vision/visionfs/bin.

cd where_visionfs_lives
./visionfs --help will display the first level of commands

./visionfs status will display interesting information including the
connected users.

Running this command before doing a shutdown during working hours is
advisable, especially if you have to leave through a bullpen where 30
people just had their Word/Excel sessions trashed. <g>.

To save future keystrokes, I do:

ln -s .../usr/vision/bin/visionfs /usr/local/bin

I did a one-line script for this info, named it /usr/local/bin/whovfs

With this in it:

/usr/vision/bin/visionfs status | grep -v "no files open" | more

I have found it useful. Especially if I am wanting to bring down the server
and wonder who has files open.

Begining with 5.0.4, SCO made VisionFS licencing use to user count based on
the individual user count in each server. As to see the connections in use,
on each server main console:

cd <visionsf installed directory>
./vinsionfs status

This should list th active connections.

Please take note: Since Caldera had purchased SCO Server software and
Taratella still has the Vision products, Caldera seems to be encouraging the
use of SAMBA.
