appropriate counts for each domain that had a user connected to the NAS. If this is
the first time the NAS has come up, then there will be nothing to decrement.
If the TMS fails, a NAS can detect the failure through the failure of the logging
connection. The NAS falls back to secondary servers, if any. Unless the database
is shared by the TMS servers, the count of current users is lost.
If the TMS database runs out of disk space while tms_dbm is running, the user
sees an error message. The error message may not state what caused the error. If
there is a shortage of disk space and erpcd cannot create a lock file or add a NAS
to the TMS database, TMS generates a syslog message and the user cannot make a
connection to the NAS.
Note: If you enter the
reset security
command, a new user who tries to make
a connection with the NAS causes the maximum number of users count to
decrement, even though users with existing connections are still connected.
This means that the maximum number of users count may be exceeded. As
users with existing connections disconnect, the count will synchronize and
correspond to the actual number of users connected.
