Re: Help: onstat -u

Depending on the version of IDS you are using it is either just a VERY busy server (unlikely if it almost always happens) or a bug in onstat that was fixed in later versions. It usually helps to post platform and version information. Art S. Kagel lily wrote: > > hi, all > > I meet a strange things.

I have seen this on Sun Solaris 7.?? versions. It happens in the following 2 cases: 1)Bug hit in an early 7.x release (can't remember exactly) where client connections had machines with a hostname > 8 characters. For a Windows box this is the IDENTIFICATION Name of the machine in the TCP/IP setup. This was fixed in a later release and you could find the problem by looking at the SMIT tables. I think one of the views had a bad definition. (?? syscbllst???) 2)Running onbar and a logical log is backing up or the backup is hung for some reason. onbar updates the SMI tables and I have seen this when a logical log backup is hung or running a long time. Do a ps and grep for the backup. Hope this Helps Debbie Butler Art S.
