| 
| I have a dozen OpenServer 5.0.5 systems I inherited in my new job.
| 
| We're running VisionFS on them.
| 
| They are all licensed for 10 or 20 connections.
| 
| When I attempt to connect to the VisionFS share, I get an error indicating
| that no more connections are permitted to this server at this time.
| 
| While I can see in SCOAdmin what my license limits are, I can't see anywhere
| to see what connections are in place.  Who, netstat, and arp don't give me
| 20 unique connections amongst them.
| 
| So, what command is available to view the list of current connections?

It isn't as obvious as it could be.

You need to acquaint yourself with the VisionFS administrative tool 
(visionfs <surprise>??) on the server.  It probably lives in 
/usr/vision/visionfs/bin.

cd where_visionfs_lives
./visionfs --help     will display the first level of commands

./visionfs status     will display interesting information including the
                       connected users.

Running this command before doing a shutdown during working hours is
advisable, especially if you have to leave through a bullpen where 30
people just had their Word/Excel sessions trashed. <g>.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
