The Question is:
Hello,
OpenVMS V7.1-2
TCPIP V5.0a ECO 2
We have a "phantom" BG device which somehow created by TCPIP, but now
it seems to be "lost".
At the DCL level we see it as BG129:, owned by the process
TCPIP$INET_ACP. Looks like any other BG device on the system.
However, inside TCPIP, when the command
"$TCPIP SHOW DEVICE BG129:" is issued, it gives a warning, like this :
"%TCPIP-W-NODEVSOCK, device_socket not found".
The command "$TCPIP DISCONN DEVICE BG129" also don't work.
What gives ? How could we get rid of this device ?
(It might be created by TCPIP when it tries to start up a service, and when
that service fails to start or stay up, leaving this device orphaned.
This device might also still connected that service, which gives us another
problem... )
Any help appreciated... Thanks. Csaba
The Answer is :
This is normal and expected, and please don't mess with it.
(There is a known case where a BG device is not properly removed
when the I/O channel is closed when using TCP/IP Services V5.1
prior to ECO 1. This problem is not known to exist on V5.0A
ECO 1.)
