- We are installing a small net with 5 machines risc/6000 running aix3.1.5
- connected by a MAU.Four of them are 7013-520 with 2 disks of 670Mb and
- 64 Mb of memory. The last one is a 7013-550 with 6 disks of 400Mb and
- 128 Mb of memory.The net speed is 16Mbs and the machines are using name
- server.Two weeks ago the risc 550 seemed to be "logically" disconnected
- from the net.Services like remote login,ftp,telnet and mail didn't work
- (even the ping command didn't respond anything!),but the rest of the net
- was ok.I ran Problem Determination from SMIT and it reported the following
- errors:
- error label:tok_adap_chk
- error class:H
- error type:perm
- error description:adapter error
- probable causes:adapter hardware
- adapter microcode
- failure causes:token-ring adapter
-
- We called IBM's technician, he changed the token-ring adapter but it didn't
- work (and he is not sure if it really is a hardware problem).
- Has anyone else seen this?
- Please reply directly to: myrian@rdc.puc-rio.br (I'm not on this list!)
- Thanks!
