No ECB when loading Eth and T/R drivers
Claudio
In our Lan we have Ethernet and Token on multiple segments/rings.
The servers are NT, Nw 3.2 and 4.11.
On one of the Nw 3.2 servers, initially equiped with only a T/R adapter
(ibmtrpo.lan), I added an Ethernet nic (ibmfe.lan). Now the "no ECB
available count" seems to increase contemporarily on Ethernet and T/R
randomly, only when both drivers are loaded.
Is it a problem concerning different needs about msm, nbi, ethertsm,
tokentsm, etc?
In addition: selecting "Resource utilization"|"LSL packet receive
buffers"|"Server.NLM: old style ECB receive buffers" under "Monitor
screen", I've seen a value near 4,294,750,000 generally decreasing at a
rate of 10 units per second. It's normal?
A Nw 4.11 server, also equiped with Eth and T/R cards and placed on the
same segment/ring of the 3.2 one, behaves normally.
Is it better to use Nw 4.x instead of 3.x to support two different
topology of Lan cards?
Thanks in advance for your help.

How much memory is in the 3.2 server? How much disk space are you supporting?
Are the Ethernet and T/R drivers up-to-date?

The amount of memory is 80Mb and the disk space is 8Gb + mirroring.
The drivers are up-to-date.
After my first message I replaced my Nw 3.2 server with another one with up-to-date
drivers cpqtoknw.lan and pcntnw.lan. The result seems to be the same.
Many thanks and regards.
