Solaris 8 IP Multipathing ping rate

Hi:
Has anyone characterized the relationship between the vaule of FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME
in /etc/default/mpathd and the rate at which the test IP addresses will be pinged.
From an initial snoop with FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME=10000 (defalut of 10 seconds)
it looks like the pings occur every second or so.
thanks

It's variable to not induce pathological behaviour.

  • BT Infinity 2 and high ping rate

    I am having a problem with my BT Infinity2.  I am getting high ping rates some as high as 181 ms.  I have download speeds of 15 meg and 8-9 meg upload.  This is through the router wired to my computer.  I was told that I should be able to get somewhere in the region of 77 meg.  This is nowhere near and needs to be sorted out.
    It doesn't matter what time of day I do the speed test it is always the same.  If I try and play my Football Manager 2012 game online I can't as my connection just kicks me back off the steam server.  If I try and watch a programme on Iplayer or ITV player ther programmes are fuzzy, blocking and unwatchable, also with the buffering is beyond a joke.

    micksea173 not good and you have my sympathy
    Try rebooting both the hub and the modem. Run the BT Speedtester to get your IP Profiles and  http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ to get an accurate speed test. Pings are very dependant on the site you are measuring a ping of 181 for a server in LA could be quite good! If you know how also run a tracert to bbc.co.uk. Post agin with the results and somebody can make an educated guess as to where the problem lies.

  • Recommendations for Multipathing software in Sun Cluster 3.2 + Solaris 10

    Hi all, I'm in the process of building a 2-node cluster with the following specs:
    2 x X4600
    Solaris 10 x86
    Sun Cluster 3.2
    Shared storage provided by a EMC CX380 SAN
    My question is this: what multipathing software should I use? The in-built Solaris 10 multipathing software or EMC's powerpath?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stewart

    Hi,
    according to http://www.sun.com/software/cluster/osp/emc_clarion_interop.xml you can use both.
    So at the end it all boils down to
    - cost: Solaris multipathing is free, as it is bundled
    - support: Sun can offer better support for the Sun software
    You can try to browse this forum to see what others have experienced with Powerpath. From a pure "use as much integrated software as possible" I would go with the Solaris drivers.

  • Networking troubles with ABIT BP6 board and Solaris 8

    Hi, Im trying to install the Solaris 8 software on my ABIT BP6 board with a Compaq NetFlex3 10TX NIC. This is a SMP board (dual celeron) but is not on the HCL (the NIC is).
    The installation gives no problems at all (except for a memory conflict between memory devices), and SunOS works pretty well except for networking... using ifconfig -a shows me the networking interface and the loopback interface but I can't ping outside of the Solaris machine (or ping to the Solaris machine from an other machine).
    I know that the board is not on the HCL but I had no networking troubles with Solaris 8 early access.
    After instalation of the software and the reboot, I get the status as below:
    >
    configuring IPv4 interfaces: cnft0.
    Hostname: MILLIWAYS
    Configuring /dev and /devices
    Configuring the /dev directory (compatibility devices)
    The system is coming up. Please wait.
    checking ufs filesystems
    /dev/rdsk/c0d0s7: is clean.
    All devices are configured...
    Configuring network interface addresses: cnft0.

    Starting IPv4 routing deamon.
    starting rpc services: rpcbind done.
    Setting netmask of cnft0 to 255.255.255.0
    <
    As you can see I get a time out while configuring the NIC. I tried a lot of different things (and some bad ones like using the device driver disk of the EA version with the cd's of the final version but no luck there...)
    Anyone with the same problems or any help?
    Thanx, Marcel

    Hi maeck,
    I'm sorry that my message is off the topic. Could you help me with a problem that I have with Abit BP6 + Solaris 8 combo?
    I'm encountering error message on console screen during booting/reboot/shutting down like "APIC error interrupt on CPU 0. Status=2" where CPU can be 0 or 1, status can be 0, 2, 4 or 6.
    If I let my dual Celeron400 run at 400MHz, the frequency of errors is few and far between. Though it still happens. If I overclock them to 558MHz like I udually do, it will show at least 4 times during a booting process. I've tried MPS 1.1 and 1.4 settings. I've also tried turning off all cache, delayed transaction, passive release settings.
    In addition, the overclocked system tends to lock up while it runs flawless in Windows 2000 Professional and Redhat 6.1. Do you have any similar experience?
    My system config:
    Abit BP6 motherboard
    400 MHz CPU X 2
    GlobalWin FEP32 X 2
    128M SDRAM
    Creative Labs 3DBlaster TNT2

  • As Requested New Thread DSL low speeds and drop outs ref: Anthorny Verizon.

    Please see post by Jerrold concerning the form for information requested, I have never been able to fill this out. Note also I had to sign in three times just to access your private letter to me today.
    Here is a summary of problem:
    When my line was first installed line speed was always between 9 to 12 Mps, which is fine for a 15 Mps line, sometimes would even go higher, so line was ok.
    In October 2012 my line speed dropped to about 5 to 7 Mps, I contacted support and repairs were attemped, but did not correct the problem in fact problem became worst.  My line speed dropped to about 2 to 3 Mps.
    Now from October to end of November, all repairs did not correct problem.  I was told by chat tech support that the problem was being worked on and there was an open ticket.
    In December my line speed returned to normal speed was between 9 to about 13 Mps.  No one had contacted me about this so I again contacted chat tech support who said my line had been fixed and there were no open tickets so have a nice day.  I accepted this at face value and accepted that my line was now ok.
    In January 2013, My line speed dropped again to 2 to 3 Mps.  I contacted chat tech support who tested line and put in a repair request.  No one had responded back to me and a week later my line started to drop in and out losing the connection completely.  I again contacted tech support who told me they had no open tickets on my account, they tested line and while we were talking on voice connection my phone started to have heavy static, both my DSL and Phone dropped out at that point.  Tech support called me back and said he was putting a repair request and that my line had problems. That night Tuesday January 29 my Phone and DSL both died, no dial tone on phone and DSL showed only power light on.  Contacted tech support by a friends cell phone and informed them of this, was told ok it would be fixed by open ticket for next day.
    Repair was to be made on Wednesday January 30, no one showed up, called tech support and told repair would be made on Thursday.  Thursday late repair person showed up around 4:30 or 5:00pm, landlord gave access to building.  I did not know they were here at all, when he told me( my landlord) I tested my DSL and found it running at 1.7 Mps or below that.  When I attempted to call tech support found my phone was still dead, no dial tone at all.  Contacted chat tech support who told me ticket was still open and would be fixed by Friday, or Monday.
    On Monday, phone still dead, DSL running at 1.7 Mps contacted chat support who had me take a phone to the junction box outside of building, plugged in two phones to this no dial tone at junction box (both phones work ok checked using a neighbors phone jack)  should note that on the outside of building there are two junction boxes, but one has lock on it so could not use that one.  Anyway told that DSL could not be fixed until phone is repaired.  Tried contacting phone repair and all I get is auto wait then line drops using a neighbors phone and pay phone my is dead.
    Tuesday again contacted chat support now told to bad, until phone is fixed cannot help me ( was'nt that suppose to be done in first repair, fix phone and DSL given both were reported dead).
    So why am I upset well look at history I now sit with No Phone service, DSL running way below what I pay for and a tech support who has said to bad not our problem.  I also do not want to hear that my line does not and cannot support the speed I pay for ( it has shown to support that speed at beginning of install up to October and again in December).
    Well anyway your letter did not say where to start new thread should I do that here, or in open forum?
    Oh, auto phone repair has given me a date for phone service as this Friday, I hope that at least gets done I cannot contact them any other way it seems.
    You may also ref: my thread on ping rates over 600 on long distants calls for any other history, but as per your request here is new thread.  Please note as of today I have No Phone so can only be contacted by email or here.  Untill phone is repaired that's all there is.

  • Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!

    Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!
    I regretfully have to inform you that I might have to discontinue using Comcast, for the following reasons if I cannot et you to resolve these issues. It should be noted that this is something that I do not want to have to do. However, basically I have no choice.
    1. Repeated and Constant Internet Issues and Poor TV Quality for over a year.
    2. A substandard quality of service, just even compared to my next door neighbors who has Comcast. The service has issues daily. Not a week has gone bye without an issue either small or large.
    3. Constant and repeated interrupt of service and an overall low quality of product. Time Outs, High Ping rates into the 100s and 200s, Cable Light Off, Poor Quality of TV picture, fuzzy, Digital Blocking even on non-digital channels with or without box, Occasional CB Radio chatter over interment connection <-(the odd one).
    4. The constant run around from the employee’s at Comcast and Service Department who either are unable to fix my problem, or unwilling to fix my problem, or have no one qualified to fix the problem. The amount of service calls and tech support personal I have had come to my house and had to call is so numerous I cannot even recall the amount.
    5. Paying full price for a substandard quality and product while others around me do not have too. Including my next door neighbor which does not seem to have an issue.
    The Story-
    I purchased this house over a year and a half ago. Note; I did think it was odd that the pervious owner of this house had Comcast TV, but a DSL internet connection (I know now why he had to do that). In a brief conversation with him recently when he was visiting our next door neighbors he told me of how he had the same issues and had to switch to DSL.
    I am, and always have been an avid Cable user and in particular for the Internet as the Broadband just makes it so much more enjoyable. I used Time Warner Cable for over 7-years prior to “having to” use Comcast with great service and good connection and a highly enjoyable time over the internet playing games and surfing the web. I have to use the words :“having too”, as you are the only Broad Band Internet connection in my area currently (I moved to the Burbs, not the Boonies) so I still don’t understand why my choices are limited. Must be nice to have a Monopoly though. : ), and I am starting to think this maybe part of my problems and why nothing is being done.
    In any case, my internet use is for entertainment only. Surfing the Web, playing video games, Online Classes, and whatnot. Nothing life treating, or a must have service and basically, fun for the family, not for frustration. I like to use Cable as I never have to worry about the line cutting out or losing connection. This used to be the case, but with Comcast I do have to worry about this, and it happens often. Simply put: it is NOT always ON as advertised, at least for me.
    The Issues-
    From day one, I have had nothing but repeated and constant issues with my internet service. I don’t even think I had Comcast a week before I had to make my fist service call. See I was used to another Cable service and silly me expected my cable to work. From there it was all downhill. I have had so many service calls its actually outlandish and would be funny if it was someone else. Its like a TV sitcom actually.
    Each and every service call goes the same way. Tech comes out, stands around, recognizes the problem and leaves. No fixes mind you, and the reasons are below.
    Recent History-
    With the internet on the fritz again and only seeming to get worse I decided to call and have someone come out and check it. A preemptive strike on my part in other words, before it totally blew out like it does and taking days for it to come back on. I have been dealing with this for over a year getting kind of frustrated with the whole process.
    I talk to the service department and they also see the issue (sporadic interrupt of service and poor quality). With so many problems and the list ever growing most likely on my report the service guy said he would send a Line Tech out to check my problem on Monday (the ninth).
    I think to myself finally some progress and it only took a year, a real Line Tech my issue is sure to be solved.
    Unfortunately, the apparent Line Tech does and did the same as every other tech sent to the house. Set around for 20 or so minutes futzing around with the computer. Notes the issue of single loss and poor TV quality makes some notes and says sign here. *take note of paragraph below about Line Tech.
    Around Thursday, I call up the service department basically asking if and when my service problems will be fixed. With little shock and surprise I was told that nothing is scheduled the last service call the Line Tech was not really a Line Tech and I should have been called back and or at least informed of that a Line Tech was not scheduled to be sent. This is normal by the way.
    The Phone Tech checked my service and found that an issue did exist and proceeded to tell my that he would advise his supervisor of the issue. He also stated that if someone had not called me by 6:00PM this coming Saturday, that I could call and he would expedite matters.
    Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock
    Saturday at 6:20PM I call up the service department, punch in my phone number and low and behold I’m sent immediately to the Clams Department instead of the Service Department LOL.
    After explaining the issue to the Clams Department (my thinking is at this point is; why pay for it if its not working and they wont fix it) I am transferred to the Service Department after a brief expiation of the issue. I guess I am a little late with my bill, but can you blame me?
    The Run Around-
    Talking to a new service persona again which is the same with ever tech sent to the house (Never the same one twice). Apparently nothing is on my report about this call I made earlier, or he does not note it.
    The new service tech while helpful and curious taking the brunt of my frustrations at this point goes through the same procedures that I have been through so many times now I know them by hart. I acknowledge the fact ahead of time to myself that my tone although frustrated is nothing personal, and the service tech should not take it personally. Its just that at this point I’m beyond frustrated. I try to be as understanding and curious as I can while he tries to help me.
    I explain the repeated problems and what is going on. In this instants the service tech mentions something about some service package (come kind of other signal maybe being sent to the modem).
    At the time my internet is somewhat working with only a few time outs and just above normal pings so I cant really blame him for not seeing an issue. I’m mainly calling just to find out why I didn’t receive a phone call, or get another appointment to have this checked into.
    My service was cutting out right before I called, which is why I called. The service tech just happened to check my service while it was working for 20 or so minutes. : P
    Although, I am sure the Tech knew what he was doing and seemed very knowledgeable and probably thought he had resolved an issue that has been plaguing me for over a year now I knew nothing had changed. (this has happened before by the way same exact procedure in fact, and must be part of the training).
    I’m trying to hold my volume down and not get too upset. Its not the techs fault and probably does not know I have gone through this procedure before. I want to try to explain this but he is busy trying to work his magic. I remain calm, but I even made the statement that I would probably be calling him back in 15-minutes. I try to end the conversation and phone call as politely as I can. Its not his fault, his just trying to do a job.
    Anthony
    Case Number: 053300005
    Well not even five minutes later you will never guess what………… Pings start dropping and the internet is cutting out on me.
    The Problem-
    The problem has been defined as a Line Issue, and an On and Off interrupt of service. At this point even the TV is being affected. From the first time I called (like over a year ago) the issue is defined to me as an On OFF issue.
    The Problem trying to get this fix-
    You apparently have no Line Techs.
    The Pole near my house is apparently a Forbidden Area that no one must go near. LOL
    You cannot get these people to go near it apparently. They only classify the problem and go away never to be seen nor heard from again.
    Now honestly I can understand with employee issues seeing this happening from time to time, but not for over a year and with service calls up in the tens and twenties…..
    Worst of All-
    I think the worst part of all of this is I have become so used to the poor and substandard quality of service. So used to it that I only call or complain when its totally out or is visually not working correctly and can be tested. I don’t call and complain because its not working as Advertised, because in fact it really never did or does.
    I also, don’t call a lot of the times because of dealing with the service department. If its working at that moment they cannot define the problems. Not really anyone’s fault as it looks like its working even if the pings are in the 200 range or currently no time outs are accruing. I mean at least its working, and they say Speed is not Guaranteed anyway.
    The Forgotten and Unanswered Questions-
    I don’t know about the rest of you but sometimes while talking to people I forget to ask questions or the question does not come to mind until the conversation is over with. In any case, the Phone Service Tech said that what he did should have been done along time ago.
    However, if my cable was somehow magically fixed by what he did I still have these questions;
    1.What happened to my Service Call and why did no one call my by 6:00PM today?
    -I waited around for the call actually, and I really would like to get this issue resolved.
    2. Why is my TV picture still bad?
    3. Although my internet seemed to be working today and only cut out once for a brief period of time why did the supposed fix of the Phone Tech double and even triple my pings, and still occasionally cuts out?
    This is usually when I can tell its going to start acting up as the interrupts become more frequent and growing in intensity and length. I always have them anyway I am used to it.
    However, on the other hand, I am already seeing time outs and interrupts and should I be paying full price for a lower quality of service compared just to my next door neighbor ?
    This is a very hard question for me to ask myself. I like using Cable rather than a Dialup Service, but there is also the whole principle to the matter as well.
    *Should I pay full price for a service that is substandard to everyone else’s?
    *Should I pay full price for the same connecting I used to get a discount for, because of the poor quality?
    *Should I call and complain everyday and turn this into a daily ritual? I cant keep taking time off from work to wait for someone who does nothing except stand around and futz with the computer for 20mintes and recognize the issue.
    *Should I have to complain so much and go through the process which is like pulling teeth to get you guys to do something about it?
    Maybe this is all my fault, and I am doing something wrong. What do I have to do to get this fixed? I don’t want to have to get DSL, so someone please help me. What am I doing wrong. I cannot keep taking time off from work to have someone come out only to recognize I have an issue and never fix it.
    To Whomever at Comcast:
    Is it so wrong of me to want, after a year of having repeated service calls with no resolution to the issue to ask, and request, that the cable service provided to me is the same as everyone else’s?
    If you handed noticed-
    Well if you haven’t noticed by now I am really tying to get this situation fixed and resolved. Mostly because, it is to the point where I am going to have to stop using Comcast and get DSL, or AOL or something because its more reliable. Which I really don’t want to do in the first place cable is supposed to be reliable and always on and faster.
    A little over a year not and I am running out of options though.
    Seriously Cant anyone help?

    Wed/Jan/18
    An eventful day-
    Just a few minutes ago, got a phone call from the Comcast Cable GUY (2:20pm). He then Says he’s been working on trying to find the problem from 1 O’clock. Apparently, and maybe the case, (it was a brief conversation and he will get back to me later) but maybe some part has gone bad somewhere and he said he was waiting on a phone call from someone else.
    In any case, he said that they are trying to clear up the problem and that its been running better sense the Jan/14.….? Not here it hasn’t. LOL We also had a brief discussion about how due to my repeated use of the internet that maybe I notices this more than other people do. My next door neighbor does not seem to have any issues last time I talk to them. But the guy said someone who lives on Broadway (few streets over) has been having issues too so maybe its this part.
    I said; So I should see some improvement today… silence…and a brief pause….. After I find out what the problem is Ill come over and discuss it with you so you know exactly what is going on.
    I do have a feeling I am going to be told this is going to take weeks to fix or at least awhile. Apparently a Part is needed maybe. Ill have to wait until the guy shows and gives me a full explanation though.
    I called my wife and told her of the event and she is pretty emphatic about returning the TV cable box as the TV picture is better without it and she only really looks at the local or 3-like 70 anyway. She was like “Bad Part?” well its been bad for over a year then! We should get a refund for the whole year then… Sorry Comcast she is on a Refund Kick… I just want it to work.
    Part/4-
    The Tech Supervisor Mark, showed up at my door and tried to explain the issues. I felt kind of bad cause I probably know he got Chewed on along with some other people probably. At least they sent someone older and who looked like he had more experience and knew what he was talking about and could actually find the issue.
    I tried to be as apologetic as I could, and tried to explain that its just because this has been such a persistent issue over the past year and a half, and I have had way too many service calls for this not to be fix by now. I even went so far as to explain; it’s a new year and we are trying to get this problem finally fixed. I was also quick to mention how nice it was outside and that at least it was a good day to run around outside. I would have felt really bad if it was raining or snowing out, but it was a nice day probably upper 60s and sunny.
    We briefly discussed the issues and he said he and some others (I guess) had been working t the Head End fixing some issues… Which actually might have fixed my TV picture, seems better right now currently though. Currently NO digital Blocking on any channels currently, but as I said, it’s a sporadic issue popping up one day and going away the next or the problem lasting weeks and months then nothing for a few days and weeks.
    Mark, tried to explain that maybe the problem that I might been having (apparently along with a few others) was that a Temporary Line was connected on the MAIN. Basically 1” Main Line Cable run it to cable like that’s in your house (cant remember but off hand I think its 5, 10 or 15 gauge cable) and back to 1” Main Line Cable. It was all a little technical, I just nodded and said yes, and at least you might have found the issue right?
    He didn’t know how long that had been like that, and I said; probably for over three years as the previous owner had issues too, or at least sense I had bought this house about a year and a half.
    I went so far as to showed him some print screens of some of the issues I have been having, and I know he noticed all the yellow recites in my computer room. : P Unfortunately, I deleted all my old Print Screen saves when the guy last Monday (ninth) showed up and said he would fix the line, or at least track it down. I only had one from the previous night to show him or something.
    In any case, while discussing this Mark, said the guy that came out the other Monday never filled out a work order or something like that. I basically tried to explain that is the kind of thing I have been dealing with for little over a year. Tech after Tech after Tech; as I looked at all the yellow recites on top of my computer desk.
    Mark also, basically said, I should have pretty fast cable considering I only have two nodes and then basically it runs back to Comcast, or something like that. However, that Temporary Line is probably causing the issues. No definite date on a fix, but maybe 24-hours or a few days, but the matter had been expedited or something like that. *Cross fingers*
    That’s the real issue with this cable, its sporadic, and comes and goes. I’m pretty sure they are going to try to replace that line, but you know what….. I have heard that before actually. I have actually heard that for over a year now. Even the expedited part. : P
    Mark tried to thank me for pointing out this issue, and made some comment about how its actually helping them….but………. I can kind of tell he had been getting yelled at or something by someone. It was not obvious, but I could tell.
    I felt kind of bad about that, but… That happens when you work for someone, and the people who work for you (below you) don’t do what they are supposed too.
    I kind of tried to briefly explain to Mark about the issue again and that usually by the time a Supervisor gets out the issue has cleared up for a time….. Odd how that works by the way. But basically I got the old…well it looks like its working ok now and you should have seen some improvements over the last few days… thingy..
    We started talking about that Temporary Line being connected again and I walked Mark to the door and we said our goodbyes and I apologized again for being such a pain in the about this whole matter.
    Part/5-
    I called the wife and told here about everything. The first thing she asked is; is it fixed? She is still not happy especially when I tired to explain what the issue was and probably was and that at least maybe they found it.
    I have no idea of what kind of onward action maybe on my part in the end if things don’t get better. Its like trying to argue with the old Bell Telephone Company when that was the only phone company in the US and no other phone companies existed.
    I hope to one day, be a satisfied Comcast Customer, but to date I have yet to feel that way, at least with the Internet in any case and that’s only because I really don’t watch TV.
    I am also, hoping when, and if, some LINE is replaced somewhere that I see some drastic improvement along with apparently a lot of other people in my community and a lot less issues also. I still don’t believe that I should be just setting for; Ok well at least its ON now, or the light has finally stopped flashing.
    All a SNAFU?
    That’s highly questionable at this point, and I have to be honest with you. This is going on a year and a half of dealing with this. This SNAFU, could be the case, but it seems more like policy, or a standing Comcast Company Directive actually if you want my honest opinion. I don’t know what the Maintenance Budget is for my area, but you might want to consider doubling it, or tripling it.
    I really don’t care actually when this is fixed, as long as the issue is fixed. I cannot make a final judgment until it is finally fixed and go on and try to take further action onward from that point.
    Thus far I have only been given an explanation. I don’t know if anyone at Comcast realize exactly how many times I have had an explanation given too me though (either on the phone with a service tech or from an actual person “tech” at my house). The list is extensive of the actual explanations I have had over the past year and a half, but my favorite one is; squirrels.
    Part/6-
    We are still waiting on phone calls from people who said they would call us back today and check what’s going on. Both of us, (me and the wife) are slowly losing momentum again as this whole issue gets dragged out for weeks and weeks at a time.
    She is tired and I’m tired too, and Comcast is warring us down again it looks like. My wife was like; “do I have to call them, I really didn’t have a good day anyway and I’m tired. They were supposed to call us anyway, lets wait.”
    I tried to make a phone call (half heartedly, I myself as I’m tired too) as Carla (at my local Comcast office) wanted to know how the service call went, but after repeated attempts and being shuffled off to Billing, and then being put on hold : P ……and its actually getting close to dinner time. Maybe after dinner if I don’t just fall asleep first.
    So, in the end its still hang on for a few more days, and or, wait to have the problem fixed. Your guess is as good as mine, people. More Smoke and Mirrors or an actual Fix. Your guess is as good as mine.
    As for me, I’m going to bed, I’m worn out. Maybe a new line to replace that temporary one, maybe just saying I might get a new line to replace that temporary one.
    The Saga continues. Maybe it will end someday.

  • Patch Install Breaks TCP/IP Connectivity

    Today (8/29/02) I installed the latest patch cluster for Solaris 2.8 (Sparc). Ever since I installed it, I have been unable to telnet or establish a socket connection from my Solaris system (port 10014) to a particular TCP/IP device. This is not a computer but a satellite reciever developed to allow a TCP/IP socket connections that receive data from the satellite feed.
    I have a second Solaris 2.8 (Sparc) box which I have not applied the latest pactch cluster to yet, and it can connect fine.
    When I telnet to the device, Telnet gets hung at the "Trying..." prompt. I checked netstat -a and the state of the connection is SYN_SENT.
    I used "snoop" to monitor the connection and the patched Solaris box is sending connection requests but receiving no responses from the device. The unpatched Solaris box is getting a response from the device. Both boxes appear to be sending the same information to the device.
    The both Solaris boxes can ping the device.
    The use to work on the pached Solaris box, before I applied the patches.
    Both Solaris systems and the device are on the same network. No routers or external firewalls separate them (in fact they are connected to the same switch).
    1. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? Is there a configuration that I am missing? (I search through the new files on the patched Solaris box looking for one).
    2. Does anybody have a way to uninstall the entire patche set? There does not appear to be an "uninstall_cluster" script in the zip file.

    I think I have found what appears to be the problem (although I am not sure how to resolve it).
    I compiled and installed tcpdump on both Solaris boxes. I then wrote a little perl script which does the following:
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use Socket;
    socket( SH, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname( 'tcp')) || die $!;
    my $dest = sockaddr_in(10014, inet_aton( "147.81.85.155"));
    connect( SH, $dest) || die $!;
    send( SH, "\r\n", 0);
    while(1)
    recv( SH, $buffer, 128, 0 );
    print "$buffer";
    (simply connects to socket and writes out bytes read)
    I then ran "tcpdump -vvv -l host 147.81.85.155" and got the following output:
    11:50:30.496927 nattyboh.32942 > hcsn-monitor6.wsicorp.com.10014: S [bad tcp cksum 2175!] 2943092708:2943092708(0) win 24820 <nop,nop,sackOK,mss 460> (DF) (ttl 64, id 41884, len 48)

    Note the "bad tcp cksum" message. Also that the device is responding to an arp request from the Solaris box. When I ran the test script and tcpdump on the unpached solaris system, the tcpdump looks like the following:

    Which is what I would expect.
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?

  • Rising latency=no Call of Duty

    Since last night , "ping" has been gradually rising, to the extent I am getting "kicked" from many punkbuster servers for too high ping rate....
    I have interleaving off, and have raised my snr so errors or packet loss aren't a problem....this happened before on our exchange cos I checked my sisters line at the time and theirs rose to over 400ms also...
    It is a wet day here (says it all about the BT infrastructure) and this seems to adversely effect things...is their anything else I can do cos I need my "Call of Duty" fix...LOL

  • Call Of Duty Server

    Hello Gang,
    I feel a little embarrased about asking this question as I am pushing 40 and playing games on my G5. Ok, here goes. I can play multiplayer COD as a client to server no problem at all, nice 'n' quick. However, when I decide I wish to host a COD server all is fine until I have more than 4 people connected then the 'ping' rates max out and the players complain of poor server response. The G5 (dual 2.0Ghz, 2.5GbRAM) has plenty of spare CPU. I cant understand it! My broadband link is 2MB down and 288K upstream, do I guess there is plenty of bandwidth there.
    Any suggestions, apart from stop playing games and get on with life?

    Yeah, unless you have a dedicated server connection with lots of bandwith, you will get a really slow server. I play COD every once and a while; the servers that stay up are the linux/and or windows dedicated servers with lots of bandwith

  • Link Based IPMP Private Interconnect - Oracle 10g

    I am configuring IPMP for Oracle 10g RAC private and Private Interconnect.
    Following an Oracle white paper we are configuring LINK Based IPMP in an Active/Active Configuration
    I have information from metalink for configuring the VIP, however I am a little unsure about the configuration of the private interconnect.
    Is it just a case of removing the cluster interconnect from oifcfg and using cluster_interconnect for ASM and Database instances.
    Is there any other considerations for Oracle 10g RAC deployment beside making change using oifcfg as well as using private_interconnect initialization parameter.
    Thanks

  • Problem connecting Windows NT

    Hi all, maybe it is quite easy what I am asking but can you help me?
    I have an Ultra5 with Solaris 7 and a PC with Windows NT 4. I want to share a directory (or a file system) from the Ultra 5, so that the PC will see it as its own and use it to store documents from Word, Excel etc.
    If it is easier just tell me in which Sun documents I have to look.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi ,
    Please note details of setup I have got at my home.
    - I have got Solaris Sparc Server with IP - 64.67.105.190 (want to treat as server), named sktech
    - A WinNT4.0 server with IP - 64.67.105.191 , named Octopus
    - 3-4 Win98 Clients connected with above NT
    - I have created "host" file in "WINNT" directory with Solaris server details.
    - I have copied "lmhost" file in "WINNT\system32" & "WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" directory with Solaris server details.
    - Added IP of solaris in Wins Address of NT's TCP-IP config'n.
    - In solaris server "/usr" directory, created "host" file with solaris details & NT details with domain name of NT.
    Now ,
    - I am able to ping NT from solaris using command,
    ping 64.67.105.191
    its saying
    64.67.105.191 is alive
    but at NT when I am giving
    ping 64.67.105.190
    its saying
    request timeout
    Note : 1. Rest of my client windows machines are able to ping to WinNT
    2. I dont know too much about unix/soaris details.
    It will be very nice if someone canhelp me asap.
    Thanks
    Regards

  • Good wireless in house, slow Apple TV in downloads and syncing.  ATV issue?

    OK - I just did a internet Ping test and bandwidth test and have found that my overall bandwidth is good, but my ATV is still very slow on downloads and syncing.
    My bandwidth is over 6.6mbps and ping rates are nearly 45ms.
    Here is my issue - I often have no images show up on ATV when I am browsing the movies. I also have to restart for lack of response to the remote about every other day, sometimes every day.
    Am I looking at my wireless in the house (running Time Capsule) or is this an ATV issue? I have good overall connectivity and internet downloads via iTunes, etc.
    Your insight is appreciated.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.
