There are two pages queues and only one of them is a file. "PAGE_Q full" would
indicate that the internal (in-memory) queue is full. This might happen if the
box you were doing paging on did not have a modem or had some other problem with
getting pages out, so that they could not be removed from the queue. The way
this queue is cleared is by stopping the nvpagerd daemon. "ovstop nvpagerd"
will do it. Then the in-memory queue will be written out to the
/usr/OV/conf/nvpager.warm file, which is the external page queue. If you run
the nvpagerd daemon with the "-w" option
then nvpager.warm will be read again at daemon restart, but otherwise not.
So if you aren't running with the "-w" option, then you should be fine just
doing "ovstop nvpagerd". The in-memory queue will be written out to the file
and you can examine what is there and see if you can figure out what is wrong
with those pages. If not, then you can run the daemon with the "-d' option,
which will trace his operation to nvpagerd.alog and you can examine that for
more clues. If you are running with "-w" then you can delete the nvpager.warm
file or re-name it before re-starting nvpagerd.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Netview Paging
We are running Netview v5.1 on a Digital UNIX platform. We use nvpage to
page calls for support issues. It was working fine, but has suddenly
stopped. When I check the nvpagerd.errlog it shows error messages
"PAGE_Q full". When I do an nvpage -s it indicates 1000 queued messages.
I'm not sure why the paging stopped, but I would like to locate the queue
file and delete it or at least remove the old messages. I have read thru
the man pages , but can find no mention of what the queue file is called.
Does anyone know where to look for this file?? Appreciate any help.
