RE: Informix 7.3 on Linux -25580 Error
Is your NIC running at same duplex as your switch? Does ftp-ing a large file work ok without colls/errs ? Have you check netstat -v/onstat to see the status on you server to see the connection status? Maybe you should rebuild your kernel to try NE2000 NIC driver... $.02 sunil |-----Original Message----- |From: dwight@rudolph.com [mailto:dwight@rudolph.com] |Sent: Friday, June 23, 2000 9:20 AM |To: informix-list@iiug.org |Subject: Informix 7.3 on Linux -25580 Error | | |I am experiencing intermittent -25580 errors from client programs |accessing an Informix server on Linux. -25580 translates to 'system |error in network function', which doesn't tell me much. I have been |getting these for several months, have tried a number of things, and |haven't made it go away. | |I need them to go away, as this is my development environment, |and I can't |have things that run for two hours then crash randomly when I'm |billing for those hours. I have an old copy of Informix |Workgroup Server |7.23 for NT, and I am now considering building the fastest NT system I |can (NT4 SP3 as this software broke after SP3). I know the fastest NT |system I can build won't match a mediocre Linux system but I have to |lose this problem. | |Before I do that, does anyone definitively know what causes the -25580 |errors on Linux or how to get rid of them? | |Details. | |The problem only occurs with client connections across the |network. It |is a local network and I do not believe there is actually a |network problem. | |It does not occur when the program is run directly on the Linux box, |using a shared memory connection, but I need for AIX and NT programs |to work. | |The Linux system is running 2.2.15. It started on 2.0.36 and has been |upgraded as new versions came out. I have had the problem at |2.0.36 and all |intervening versions. The system has 128MB memory and is |doing very little |paging. It is an AMD K6-2-333 system, generic motherboard, and I have |reason to believe the hardware is okay. | |The Informix version is 7.30.UC10-1, which is the latest thing |I can find |at Intraware. I have tried several versions and all exhibit |the problem. | |The pertinent performance tuning is | LOCKS 20000 | BUFFERS 30000 (there is adequate memory for this) | MULTIPROCESSOR 0 | NUMCPUVPS 1 | SINGLE_CPU_VP 1 | NETTYPE ipcshm,1,10,CPU | NETTYPE soctcp,1,10,NET | |I've tried many variations. The only one that seems to work |is no icpshm |NETTYPE, and soctcp NETTYPE running in CPU, but that variation |is very slow. | |Clients are connecting from AIX and NT, several versions of client SDK |including 2.40, all over TCP/IP. | |Thank you, |Dwight Rudolph |dwight@rudolph.com |

I really don't think the lack of a NE2000 NIC is the problem here. dwight
