Subject: RE: 30-80% Failure on
Pings
Thanks to everyone who
responded...
The symptons of the problem were
frozen emulation screens.... and extremely long print times, but the problem
seems to be isolated from the as/400 to the workstation...
The workstation can access other
resources off the network.. and I can ping other pieces... And if I ping
the workstation when the as/400 cpu load return back to 99% its fine... Its
only when its pegged at ++++ do I see the problem...
I was just hoping I could place the
ip services job a little higher than the other jobs, but of course still lower
than the console.

Just because you only get a percent of your pings back
does mean you will have problems..... just you have too much time to
wait. The ping command defaults to wait for 1 sec for the reply, it
does not mean the ping packet is LOST only did not arrive in 1sec.
When you ping you can increase the wait time (just F4 the command).
The other guys have made other great suggestions, so I will not
reiterate. A better test may be to ping another server and the AS400
from the workstation and compare the results.

Subject: 30-80%
Failure on Pings
We have an overworked
as/400. And we have a new one on order, but I was wondering if
anyone has an idea for a Band-Aid?
Problem. If I ping a
workstation during peak usage I will only get 2 of 5 successful
hits...
Is there a way to grant more
timeslices/priority to the IP services job, to prevent this problem?
And if so, what job would I change?
Thanks, tim
