IBM PC730 (Type 6876)/PC750 (Type 6886) - IBM Token Ring bridge software fails (MCA)
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series 6876 and 6886 Micro Channel systems running IBM Token Ring Bridge software may stop sending data across the network if one or more of the Token Ring adapters is set for Streaming.
Problem Isolation Aids:
None
Fix:
IBM Token Ring Bridge Software does not support Streaming. Since the software cannot handle the high bandwidths that arise when Token Ring adapters use Streaming, a condition occurs where one of the adapter cards is in a starvation mode because the IBM Bridge software cannot process the data packets fast enough.
Disable the Streaming option on all token ring cards that are installed in systems running the IBM Token Ring Bridge software.
If the failure persists continue normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failing application or part.
