[Info-vax] Are errors on PEA0: dangerous?

[Phillip Helbig---undress to reply]

As I recently mentioned here, after using LANCP to move from 10 Mb/s HD 
to 100 Mb/s FD on two PWS in my cluster, the slowly rising (few errors 
per day) error count on PEA0: (and the somewhat lower number on the SCSI 
disks) on an XP1000 in the cluster, which has always had 100 Mb/s and 
FD, stopped rising, completely.  However, since then PEA0: on the two 
PWS have been rising slowly as well (perhaps a bit more quickly than on 
the XP1000).

How dangerous are errors on PEA0:?

Any idea what causes this?

Any idea how to fix it?

Is there any setting I might need to change at the console level which 
can't be changed from within LANCP?

Since the change, I also notice, when logged in over LAT, no terminal 
(emulator) output for a few seconds.  This doesn't happen often, but has 
been happening since the change.
