I guess some more testing is required. At least i'm not the only one to be supprised. Indeed, a pmr sounds about right at this point. I guess a test would be pretty easy, restart (logoff/logon) one of the TCPIP stacks and see if it produces one record. Next fiddle with NETSTAT OBEY and see if

Alan, I think so but I'm not quite sure. We use the NETSTAT OBEY sometimes, usually for stop or start of a link. For instance NETSTAT OBEY START DEVHW1. Regards, Berry. Op 13-06-11 04:01, Alan Altmark schreef: On Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:43:52 -0500, Berry van Sleeuwen

If these are the result of multiple links, I would think the link names would be different. This is a long shot, but is it possible that this TCP/IP stopped unexpectedly at some point in time and was restarted without an IPL or Logoff/Logon? The Stack identifies which buffers the CP monitor will

Hi Bill, The IP stack hasn't been stopped, at least as far as I know. The last tim e the stacks were stopped was due to a VM IPL. If indeed multiple buffers were created, would it make sense that the sam e data is reported in all buffers? I would expect, if new buffers were crea ted for the

Hi listers, I am looking at processing the userrecords in the CP MONITOR for the TCPI P stacks. These are in CP MONITOR domain 0A record 02. The data is collecte d though a STARMON stage, basically PIPE STARMON | locate selection | fielid. Most LPARs have records like I'd expect them but I have

Hi Scott, Yes, the records are identical. After a SORT UNIQUE the duplicate records are discarded. The only thing that is not identical is the TOD field. The second (and third) record are produced a few miliseconds after the first. When I discard the miliseconds the records themselves are

Hmmm.. some questions then: - Are the z/VM and TCPIP levels all the same? - Are the OSA's attached to TCPIP the same way (DEDICATE in directory, via a DTCPARMS, or?) - Are the OSA cards the same.. defined the same? - Any NICDEF's defined to TCPIP on this LPAR? (though I would think it

Hi Scott, Yes they are the same, same VM levels, same basic setup for all VM's and IP stacks. In one case, our local IP stack, even uses the same osa device. In one LPAR it produces just one record per minute, in the second LPAR it produces three records. And only one virtual CPU. But for

Multiple links? You mean on the OSA or within the IP stack? Yes, multiple links on an OSA. In LPAR1 we have one IP stack (EE00-EE02) and a VSWITCH (EE04-EE06) on the OSA. In LPAR2 we have two IP stacks on the same OSA (EE00--EE06). The customer stack also has a backup on a second OSA
