SUBJECT : Track On Diagnostic
DATE : 6/14/90
OS VERSION : All
REVISION :
SHELL VERSION : All
QUESTION : How do I interpret the Track On information at the file
server console? Specifically, the "IN Get nearest server" and "OUT Give
nearest server".
ANSWER : One reason to use the Track On feature is to determine
if a workstation can see the file server or visa versa. When a workstation
loads the shell it makes a request to get a connection to a file server. When
this request is granted by the file server it displays these messages.
Possible problems:
1. The file server is getting both the IN and OUT but the workstation still is
not connecting. This would indicate that there is some hardware problem at
the workstation.
2. The file server gets an IN but not an OUT. This indicates that the file
server is getting the request but is unable to respond. The problem is
possibly noisy lines caused by faulty network hardware.
3. The file server gets neither an IN nor OUT. This shows that the file
server cannot see the workstation. It may be a hardware problem at the file
server (most likely flakey components since the server booted fine). Or it
could be noise in the network hardware.
The first and third scenarios are also typical with shell problems.
